The sole basis of our beliefs is the Bible,
God's infallible written Word, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments.
We believe that it was uniquely, verbally and fully inspired by the Holy
Spirit and that it was written without error in the original manuscripts.
It is the supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks.
We accept those areas of doctrinal teaching on which, historically, there
has been general agreement among all true Christians. Because of the specialized
calling of our movement, we desire to allow for freedom of conviction on
other doctrinal matters, provided that any interpretation is based upon
the Bible alone, and that no such interpretation shall become an issue which
hinders the ministry to which God has called us.
• We believe in one God, who exists in three Persons — the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is loving, holy and just.
• We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is inspired and
accurate. It is our perfect guide in all matters of life.
• We believe that sin has separated us all from God, and that only
through Jesus Christ can we be reconciled to God.
• We believe that Jesus Christ is both God and Man. He was conceived
by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He led a sinless life, took
all our sins upon Himself, died and rose again. Today, He is seated at the
right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Mediator.
• We believe that salvation is the gift of God to man. This gift is
effected by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and it produces works pleasing
to God.
• We believe in water immersing baptism. And it is a symbol of the
cleansing power of God, a covenant (sign and seal) a Believer makes with
God and a testimony of our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
• We believe that the Holy Spirit is our Comforter. He guides us in
all areas of our lives. He also blesses us with spiritual gifts and empowers
us to yield the fruit of the Spirit.
• We believe that the Holy Communion is a powerful reminder of God’s
love for us, a celebration of Jesus’ death and our remembrance of
Him.
• We believe that God wants to transform, heal and prosper us, so that
we can live blessed and victorious lives that will impact and help others.
• We believe that we are called to preach the gospel to all nations.
• We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again just as
He promised.
