ABOUT US
our story
God
Bible We believe the Bible, consisting of 66 Books, is the inspired word of God, the foundation of faith and hope, the creed of the church, and the ultimate authority for Christian belief and behavior. It is inerrant and infallible in its original writing and surpasses conscience and reasoning.
Salvation Our belief is that Man fell from grace by disobeying God’s Law and can be justified only through faith in Jesus Christ’s incarnation, death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is obtained by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, repentance from sin and belief in His blood (ultimate sacrifice on cross) are the sole means of achieving freedom from sin.
>Separation from Sin We believe that a believer should be separate from sins, false doctrines, and unbiblical worship.
Regeneration We believe in Regeneration through the Holy Spirit and Word of God, and the inward evidence of salvation is the witness of the Spirit. The outward evidence is a life of righteousness and true holiness for all to see.
Ordinances of Church We believe in two ordinances of the church: water baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and the Lord’s Supper consisting of bread and the fruit of the vine.
Holy Spirit We believe in the Holy Spirit as a gift from God, promised by Jesus and in the manifestation of spiritual gifts such as word of wisdom, word of knowledge, healing, prophecy, speaking in and interpretation of tongues.
Resurrection We believe that Jesus will return soon in the air and take the body of Christ, the Bride, with Him. There will be a resurrection of both the Saved and the Lost, with the Saved having everlasting life and the Lost experiencing everlasting damnation.
Great Tribulation After a great tribulation, Jesus will establish His Kingdom of Righteousness for a thousand years and Satan and his followers will be cast into the lake of fire. A judgment before the Great White Throne will follow, and a new heaven and new earth will appear after the current earth and heaven are burned with fire.
