WHAT WE BELIEVE
Mission Statement
Empowering God's people by bringing them into the knowledge of God through evangelism, revitalization, and shared ministry.
Core Beliefs
One True God
We believe that there are three that bear record in heaven - the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost. These three are ONE manifested in the person of Jesus Christ who being in the image of the Invisible God is the Creator of all things. He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
(Exodus 3:14, St. John 8:58, Isaiah 9:6, John 14:8-11, Revelation 1:8 and John 10:30-38).
The Inspired Word of God
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and that every part of scripture should be adhered to. The Scripture of both Old and New Testament provide the prescription for the infallible, authoritative rule of Christ in our lives.
Water Baptism
We believe in immersing in the water and baptizing in the Name of Jesus, the one who commissioned and gave authority to baptize.
(Acts 2:38, Acts 10:48, and Acts 19:5)
The Holy Ghost
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost as it was on the day of Pentecost. We believe that those who receive the Holy Ghost will speak with other tongues as the spirit gives utterance.
(Acts 2:1-4, 19:5, 10:43-46, and Luke 11:13).
The Second Coming
We believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ to this earth in a glorified body because we believe him to be glorified and to be coming in the power of the Spirit to rule and judge the Earth.
Women in Ministry
We believe that a woman has a right to preach or teach. God said He would pour out His Spirit upon all flesh, and sons and daughters shall prophesy. To prophesy means to make declarations of events to come, and to instruct in religious doctrine.
Communion and Feet Washing
We believe that Christians or Saints shall observe the Lord's Supper using natural emblems, bread and wine. We believe in taking the Lord's sacrament and the washing of one another's feet. We believe it was literally carried out. We understand from reading God's Word it was ordained and inserted into the church by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
Divine Healing
It is the Christian's right and privilege to trust God for the healing of the body when one is sick or afflicted. We do not condemn those who are weak in the faith using medicine. The Scripture says that there will be some who use herbs, but we who do not use herbs must not judge those who do.
The Laws of the Land
We believe the civil magistrates are ordered for peace, safety and the welfare of all people. Therefore, it is our duty to be in obedience to all of the laws of the land so long as they are not contrary to the Word of God. We do not believe in war nor condone violence but we believe in obeying the laws of the land. For God is not the author of confusion but of peace.
