Statement of Faith
Our greatest desire is to know Christ and be conformed to His Image by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are a non-denominational church and we are not opposed to denominations, as such, only their overemphasis of doctrinal differences that leads to the division of the body of Christ (His Church). We believe the true basis of Christian fellowship is God's love, which is greater than our differences. Without His love, we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.
What We Believe
-One God who is eternally existent in three persons the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
-The Bible to be the inspired absolutely infallible Word of God that is inerrant in its original writings.
-The deity of the Lord Jesus Christ – His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His future return in power and glory.
-The universal guilt and sinfulness of the human race.
-The need for the lost and sinful man to be saved.
-That man’s only hope of redemption is to be justified to God by faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
-The present ministry and person of the Holy Spirit who indwells the believing Christian enabling him to live a Godly life.
-The baptism of the Holy Spirit empowering the believer for life and service to the Kingdom of God.
-That water baptism and communion are valid ordinances of the church but nonessential for salvation.
-The exercise of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the church's ministry as outlined in 1st Corinthians 13 & 14 (especially 14:40 “Let all things be done decently and in order”).
-In the divine healing of the sick (according to James 5:14-15)
-The personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ to gather the true church to Himself and in His return to earth to rule and reign in power and glory.
-The resurrection of both the saved and unsaved; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the unsaved unto the resurrection of eternal damnation.
