We Believe . . .
Statement of Faith
The Bible is the invaluable Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and contains answers for all of our problems. 2 Timothy 3:16,17;2 Peter 1:20,21
There is one God, eternally existing in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. John 10:30;John 14:26;Philippians 2:5-7
God is Love and Loves ALL People. It is His desire to reach out to those who are brokenhearted, poor, oppressed, widowed, and orphaned. Psalm 68:5,6; 1 John 4:16
Man is created in the Image of God but separated from God by sin. Without Jesus we cannot have a relationship with God. Genesis 1:26; 1 Timothy 2:5
We can have a personal relationship with God through Salvation, God’s free gift to us. Not by what we do, but only through God’s unearned favor. By acknowledging we have sinned and believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, and accepting Him as Lord in our lives, we will spend eternity with God.Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 5:1; Romans 3:24
We believe in Water Baptism, as taught and demonstrate by Jesus, as the way for believers to identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4;Matthew 3:13-17
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God. He empowers the believer to develop the character of Christ to live daily in God’s will. Matthew 3:11; Acts 2:4
God gives all believers spiritual gifts. They are for the strengthening of God’s people (the Church) and proof of God’s existence and power to unbelievers. They areactive and relevant today.1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 1 Peter 4:10
Sanctification is the ongoing process of allowing God’s character to be developed in us. Romans 6:19; Galatians 5:22-25
Divine healing is active in the lives of people today through Jesus, who is the Healer. Healing includes physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional restoration.
Luke 9:11; Matthew 9:35; Acts 10:38; Matthew 10:1
God’s desire is that no one be separated from Him for eternity, which is the reason He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth. Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:12-15; John 3:16-18
Jesus will return and take all believers to be with Him for eternity. Acts 1:11;1 Thessalonians 4:13-17;Hebrews 9:28
