What We Believe

We are a Spirit-led, non-denominational five-fold ministry with Jesus Christ serving as the founder and leader of this church. We have freedom from “religion” and as such, we are not affiliated or associated with any religion or religious denomination. Instead of following the traditions and rituals of men, we place our beliefs strictly on biblical principles. 

We wear no other name than Christ’s. We are simply Christians, both followers of Christ and members of His body [Acts 11:26, 26:28, I Peter 4:15-16, Acts 11:26, Ephesians 1:22-23]. We do not wear any man-made designations not found in the scriptures nor do we subscribe to any creed or doctrine. The Bible is our only guide we use to preach and teach the absolute true Word of God.   We preach the word of God without prejudice and we preach the entire word including preaching on holiness, righteousness and living a life that is pleasing to God.  

The Bible

  • We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God and is the absolute and final authority in life and doctrine. [Psalm 119:105, 2 Timothy 3:16-17]
  • We believe the Bible was written by human authors without error under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and its content reveals God’s character, our purpose, and life’s meaning. [Proverbs 30:5, 2 Peter 1:20-21 John 20:31]
  • We believe the Bible’s principles are true for all people, for all places, and for all times. [Psalm 119:160]

God

  • We believe that God, the first person of the Godhead, is the Creator and sovereign Ruler of the universe and all that is in it. [Genesis 1:1, 26, 27, Mark 14:36, John 11:41,17:11, Ephesians 4:6]
  • We believe that God eternally exists in three distinct roles and personalities: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These three co-exist as the one and only God. [Psalm 90:2, Matthew 28:19, Philippians 2:5-11, Colossians 1:15-20, 1 John 5:7]

Jesus Christ

  • We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, He existed before the creation of time, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. [John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:16, Hebrews 1:2, Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Hebrews 4:14-15, Acts 1:9-11, John 14:3, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8]

·         We believe that Jesus, the second person of the Godhead, was truly God that took on the likeness of flesh and came to the earth fashioned as a man. We believe that Jesus was fully God and fully man. [John 1:14, 1 John 4:2, 2 John 7, Romans 8:3]

  • We believe that Jesus Christ came to earth to save us from our sins. [Matthew 1:21, Luke 19:10, John 3:16]
  • We believe that Jesus lived a sinless life, even though He was tempted in every way, and willingly offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men and women by dying on a cross. [Philippians 2:5-11, Hebrews 4:14-15]
  • He demonstrated His power over sin and death by rising from the dead after three days. [1 Corinthians 15:3-4]
  • We believe that salvation can come only come way and that one way is through Jesus Christ. [Acts 4:12, Colossians 1:15-23]

The Holy Spirit

  • We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Godhead, is God. [Acts 16:7, 1 Corinthians 6:11, John 14:6]
  • We believe that the Holy Spirit lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. [Acts 2:38, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Ephesians 1:13-14]
  • We believe that the Holy Spirit provides the Christian with understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right. [Romans 8:9-17, Galatians 5:22-26]
  • We believe that the believe that the Holy Spirit empowers the church with gifts of the Spirit [1 Corinthians 12:1-11, Romans 12:6-8]
  • We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as a subsequent act after salvation endued upon a person by prayer or by laying on of hands [Acts 2:28, 8:14-17, 10:44-48]

Human Beings

  • We believe that men and women are made in the spiritual image of God. [Genesis 1:27]

·         We believe that in the beginning God created man innocent, pure and holy, but through the sin of disobedience, Adam and Eve, the first of the human race, fell from their holy state, and God banished them from Eden. Hence by one man's disobedience, sin entered into the world. [Gen. 1:27, Rom. 3:23, 5:12].

·         We believe that all men are born sinners under the judgment of death; however, God has made a way of escape from this judgment through His Son, Jesus Christ. [Romans 6:23, Acts 2:28, 1 John 1:9, John 14:6]

Salvation

  • Salvation is a free gift of God. It cannot be achieved through good works or self-improvement because the death of Jesus Christ is the only acceptable payment for our sins. [John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-10, Hebrews 9:26-28]
  • All people have sinned, but we believe all people can be saved. [Acts 2:39, Romans 3:23]
  • We believe people must have a spiritual rebirth in order to be reconciled back unto God. [John 3:3, 2 Corinthians 5:17]
  • To receive the gift of Salvation, we believe: you need to hear God's word and believe that Christ has the power to save.  Based on what you have learned and now believe, you confess Jesus as Lord and that He is risen from the dead.  In order to follow Jesus, you must repent of your sins and obey the teachings of Jesus Christ by being a disciple of Jesus living faithfully by God's standards. [Romans 10:17, John 3:16, Acts 16:31-33, Romans 10:9-10, Luke 13:3, Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19, Acts 17:30, Matthew 19:17, Matthew 28:19-20, Luke 11:28, John 14:23, Romans 14:7-8, Ephesians 4:1, 2 Peter 3:11-12a, 1 John 2:24-25]

Eternity

  • We believe that Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence. [Matthew 10:28, Philippians 2:10]
  • We can live forever with God in a place of ultimate joy doing His will, or we can be eternally separated from God in Hell, a place of extreme torment, by refusing to obey Him, rejecting Jesus or by blaspheming the Holy Spirit. [Matthew 7:21, 1 John 5:11-13, Revelation 20:15]

WATER BAPTISM

·         We believe in the scriptural mode of Water Baptism by immersion, which signifies a believer who has fully repented of their sins, having turned from their sins and a love of the world and confessed Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. [Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 1:9-10, Acts 10:48, Acts 16:30-34, Romans 6:3-8] 

Holy Communion

·         We believe in partaking of Holy Communion, which is done by eating the bread and drinking the wine which symbolically represents when Jesus gave His body and shed His blood so that we might be forgiven of our sins. [Matthew 26:26-28, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, 10:16]
