God<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

We believe in one God who exist in three distinct equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the creator of the universe, never changing, eternal, all-powerful and unending in love.<\/p>\n

Genesis 1:1; Matthew 3:16-17; 1 John 5:7-8<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jesus Christ<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

We believe that Jesus Christ (the Son of God) became flesh to reveal God to man and rescue the world from evil. He, being fully God yet fully man, is the only person to live a sinless life.\u00a0He was born of a virgin and took the weight of sin and evil in the world on the cross so mankind could be free from the penalty of sin and creation would be redeemed. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory.<\/p>\n

Holy Spirit<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

Given at Pentecost, it is the promise of the Father, sent by Jesus after His Ascension, to empower the Church to preach the Gospel throughout the whole earth<\/p>\n

The Bible<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

We believe the entire Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God.\u00a0\u00a0It cannot be added to, subtracted from, or superseded in any regard. \u00a0It, alone, is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths.<\/p>\n

Jesus Christ Indwells All Believers<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

Christians are people who have invited the Lord Jesus Christ to come and live inside them by His Holy Spirit. They relinquish the authority of their lives over to him thus making Jesus the Lord of their life as well as Savior. They put their trust in what Jesus accomplished for them when He died, was buried, and rose again from the dead<\/p>\n

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of the Gospel. The Bible lists of these gifts are not necessarily exhaustive, and the gifts may occur in various combinations. All believers are commanded to earnestly desire the manifestation of the gifts in their lives. These gifts always operate in harmony with the Scriptures and should never be used in violation of biblical parameters.<\/p>\n

Hebrews 2:4; Romans 1:11,12 :4-8; Ephesians 4:16; II Timothy 1:5-16, 4:14; I Corinthians 12:1-31, 14:1-40; I Peter 4:10<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Salvation<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ; His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts.<\/p>\n

Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews 9:22<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Church<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

The church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of Jesus\u2019 great commission. Every person who is born of the Spirit is an integral part of the church as a member of the body of believers. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

Redemption<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression he fell; his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.<\/p>\n

Gen. 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Resurrection<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead in a glorified body three days after His death on the cross. In addition, both the saved and the lost will be resurrected; they that are saved to the resurrection of life and they that are lost to eternal separation from God.<\/p>\n

The Virgin Birth<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father, through the Holy Spirit (the third person of the Trinity) in the virgin Mary\u2019s womb; therefore, He is the Son of God.<\/p>\n

Matthew 1:18, 25; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18, 23-25; Luke 1:27-35<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Repentance<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

Repentance is the commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to follow Christ, which allows us to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Thus, through repentance, we receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation.<\/p>\n

Acts 2:21, 3:19; I John 1:9<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Heaven & Hell<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

Heaven is the eternal dwelling place for all believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. \u00a0After living one life on earth, the unbelievers will be judged by God and sent to Hell.<\/p>\n

Sanctification<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

Sanctification is the process of yielding to God\u2019s Word and His Spirit in order to complete the development of Christ\u2019s character in us. It is through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.<\/p>\n

The Second Coming<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His Kingdom. Only the Father knows the time of Jesus\u2019 return. We believe in the resurrection of believers, the final judgement, and all things being made right in the new heaven and new earth.\u00a0This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures.<\/p>\n
