What We Believe
We are a Christ centered church striving toward greatness through Godly growth.
DOCTRINE
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.
There is one true God, eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son and Holy Spirit — each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of Deity and the characteristics of personality.
Jesus Christ is God, the living Word, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. Hence, He is perfect Deity and true humanity united in one person forever.
He lived a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for human sins by dying on the cross as a substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him alone.
He rose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He lived and died.
He ascended bodily into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, where He, the only mediator between God and humanity, continually makes intercession for His own.
Adam and Eve were originally created in the image of God. They sinned by disobeying God; thus, they were alienated from their Creator. That historic fall brought all people under divine condemnation.
Human nature is corrupted. As a result, all people are totally unable to please God. Everyone is in need of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
Salvation is wholly a work of God’s free grace and is not the work, in whole or in part, of human works or goodness or religious ceremony. God imputes His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation and thereby justifies them in His sight.
It is the privilege of all who are born again of the Spirit to be assured of their salvation from the very moment in which they trust Christ as their Savior. This assurance is not based upon any kind of human merit but is produced by the witness of the Holy Spirit, who confirms in the believer the testimony of God in His written word.
The Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to individuals. He convicts and draws sinners to Christ, imparts new life to them, continually indwells them from the moment of spiritual birth and seals them until the day of redemption. His fullness, power and control are appropriated in the believer’s life by faith.
Believers are called to live so in the power of the indwelling Spirit that they will not fulfill the lust of the flesh but will bear fruit to the glory of God.
Jesus Christ is the Head of the church, His body, which is composed of all people, living and dead, who have been joined to Him through saving faith.
God admonishes His people to assemble together regularly for worship, for participation in ordinances, for edification through the Scriptures and for mutual encouragement.
At physical death the believer enters immediately into eternal, conscious fellowship with the Lord and awaits the resurrection of the body to everlasting glory and blessing.
At physical death the unbeliever enters immediately into eternal, conscious separation from the Lord and awaits the resurrection of the body to everlasting judgment and condemnation.
Jesus Christ will come again to the earth — personally, visibly and bodily — to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.
The Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the gospel throughout the world and to disciple people from every nation. The fulfillment of that Great Commission requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated to a total commitment to “Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.”
STATEMENT OF FAITH & Values
The basis of our belief is that the Bible is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. We believe God’s written Word includes the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. We believe that it was uniquely, verbally and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Our foundation is rooted in love, mirroring the teachings of the Bible. As a loving church, we embrace the principles of compassion, understanding, and unity as inspired by biblical scriptures. Our congregation is committed to fostering a warm and welcoming environment where the love of God is not only preached but also practiced. Join us in our journey of faith, where the guiding light of love from the scriptures illuminates our path, bringing us together as a community bound by a shared commitment to love and serve one another in the spirit of Christian fellowship.”
We proudly identify as a faith-walking church, drawing inspiration from the timeless wisdom found in the Bible. Guided by the Scriptures, we believe in putting our faith into action, walking confidently in the path laid out by God. Our congregation strives to live out the teachings of the Bible, trusting in the divine guidance that empowers us to navigate life’s journey with faith as our compass. Join us in our commitment to walk in faith, leaning on the promises and principles found in the Word of God, as we journey together in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.”
Prayer is the heartbeat of our faith. As a praying church, we find inspiration and guidance in the sacred words of the Bible. Following the example set by Jesus, who sought solace and strength through prayer, our congregation is dedicated to cultivating a deep and meaningful connection with God through regular prayer. The Scriptures remind us of the power of prayer, encouraging us to bring our concerns, gratitude, and supplications before the Lord. Join us in the transformative practice of prayer as we draw closer to God, seeking His wisdom, grace, and presence in every aspect of our lives.”
Our foundation is firmly rooted in the Word of God. As a word-based church, we draw our inspiration, teachings, and guidance directly from the Bible. Recognizing the Scriptures as the timeless and infallible source of truth, our congregation is committed to studying, understanding, and applying the principles found within its pages. Just as the Bible instructs in Psalm 119:105, ‘Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path,’ we believe that the Word of God illuminates our journey of faith. Join us as we delve into the richness of God’s Word, seeking to grow in knowledge, wisdom, and obedience to His divine teachings.
We proudly declare ourselves a Christ-centered church, guided by the timeless truths revealed in the Bible. Our focus is unwaveringly fixed on the person and teachings of Jesus Christ. As stated in Colossians 1:18, ‘And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.’ With Christ at the forefront, we seek to emulate His love, compassion, and selflessness in our daily lives. Join us on this transformative journey as we center our worship, community, and purpose around the life and teachings of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
We are a vibrant and ministry-active church, inspired by the biblical call to serve others selflessly. In accordance with the teachings of the Bible, particularly James 1:22, which urges believers to be ‘doers of the word, and not hearers only,’ we actively engage in various ministries to make a positive impact in our community and beyond. Our commitment to practical expressions of love and service is a reflection of our faith in action. Join us as we strive to live out the Gospel, embodying the compassionate ministry exemplified by Jesus Christ during His earthly ministry, and carrying forward the mandate to love and serve one another as directed by the Word of God.”
We proudly embrace our identity as a family-oriented church, reflecting the biblical emphasis on community, love, and unity. In Ephesians 2:19, the Bible describes believers as members of God’s household, and it is with this sense of family that we welcome all into our congregation. Just as the Bible emphasizes the importance of mutual support and care within the family of believers, we strive to create a warm and nurturing environment where every individual feels a sense of belonging. Join us as we grow together, inspired by the biblical principles of love, fellowship, and shared faith that bind us as a spiritual family.”
