Tenets of Faith
We Believe the Bible is a holy, infallible book inspired by God to reveal to us His blueprint of how we should conduct ourselves and his rules of faith. II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21
We Believe there is only one God, existing forever in three persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God is the Son in Jesus, who came down to earth, was born of a virgin, died on the cross for us, rose from the dead, and returned again to heaven. I Corinthians 8:4-8; I Kings 8:60
We Believe all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that salvation is through repentance for sins and through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23-26; Romans 10:8-17
We Believe Jesus has commanded that we tell everyone on earth that He died for them. Those who accept the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ will spend eternity in heaven with Him: those who do not accept Him will spend eternity in hell. Mark 16:15-16
We Believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4 is granted to believers who ask for it. It is through the present indwelling of the Holy Spirit that the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life and is given the power to be a witness. Acts 1:8; Luke 24:48-53
We Believe water baptism is symbolic of the death of our sinful nature and the beginning of the newness of life through Jesus Christ. We believe in taking communion in memory of Christ's death on the cross for our redemption. We honor holy matrimony in the manner that God has intended and we dedicate and bless infants and small children for service back to God.
We Believe the healing virtue of Christ was granted by the lashes he received on the cross at Calvary and with those stripes by faith, we are made whole in answer to believing prayer.
We Believe in bringing our offering and tithes into the storehouse to help further the kingdom of God in the hearts of men.
We Believe the Lord shall descend from heaven and the dead in Christ shall be the first to rise and those that remain shall be caught up together with him in the sky to be with him forever. I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Corinthians 15:51-58
We Believe believers must live a lifestyle of holiness, demonstrating the compassion of Christ to all they encounter. Believers must also live a lifestyle of love, demonstrating the compassion of Christ to all they encounter.
