Mission Statement
To preach the Word of God passionately, to lead souls into God's Kingdom through receiving His Son Jesus Christ, to strengthen and uplift the fallen, and to love and serve the Lord our God reverently and obediently. |
- We believe that The Scriptures -(The Old and New Testaments) are the infallible and authoritative Word of God, without error, and are given for the purposes of teaching, instructing, encouraging and directing mankind to salvation.
- We believe that God the Father is the creator of heaven and earth and he is the preserver of all things. There is but one true, living God who is all powerful, all knowing, ever present, eternal, and perfect in holiness, truth and love.
- We believe in the Godhead - God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They are co-existent, co-eternal and co-equal.
- We believe that Jesus Christ - was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary and he is without sin. He was the vicarious, ultimate sacrifice for the sin of all mankind through his death on the cross. Jesus arose from the dead in his own glorified body, appeared to many, ascended into Heaven and will return to earth in glory and power. He is now seated at the right hand of the Father and is the Head of the body, which is the Church.
- We believe that The Holy Spirit - convicts the world of sin, causes godly sorrow which leads to repentance and unity with God through faith in Jesus Christ. The new birth enables the Holy Spirit to live within the believer enabling the believer to grow in maturity, sanctification and righteousness thus becoming a child of God and a gift to the body of Christ- The Church.
- We Believe that mankind - is created in the image of God and in his likeness, but through the original sin of the disobedience of Adam and Eve (our first parents), mankind has been separated from God the Father and is born in a natural state of sin. Mankind cannot remove this sinful nature and is incapable of ever having eternal hope except through salvation which comes from Jesus Christ, the One who paid the price for all of mankind's sins.
- We believe that Salvation - is God's gift of grace to us when we put our faith in Jesus Christ, His Son. There is no other name in which man can be saved, but through the name of Jesus. Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life. Salvation is obtained by acknowledging the fact that all have sinned and are in need of a Savior, and that by repenting and turning from our sin and trusting in Christ, his life, vicarious death, resurrection and ascension we are given the promise of eternal life and are born again. Once born again, the continuation of our salvation depends upon our continual walk of obedience and faith to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
- We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is available to all who believe in Jesus Christ and will totally surrender their lives to the complete perfect will of God, empowering us to live our lives to glorify God.
- We believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for the church today and are given to glorify God and for the purposes of building one's faith and empowering the Church (the body of Christ). These gifts are distributed to each believer as God wills.
- We believe that The Church - is the body and the bride of Christ and it's mandate is to take the gospel to the whole world and to make disciples. We should also strive to be the example of Christ in the way we live our own lives; at home and wherever we may be.
- We believe in the general judgement at the end of the world and those who have rejected salvation will receive eternal punishment. However, those who have personally accepted Christ as their Savior will be ushered into the very presence of God almighty for eternity!
