WHAT WE
BELIEVE.

1. The Authority of Scripture

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. Scripture is the foundation of our faith, the guide for our daily lives, and the final authority in matters of doctrine, morality, and spiritual truth. God's Word is timeless, trustworthy, and sufficient to equip believers for a life of faith and godliness.

SCRIPTURE2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Psalm 119:105; Hebrews 4:12

2. The Oneness of God

We believe there is only one true and living God, who has revealed Himself as Father, through His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh, the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and the only name given under heaven whereby we must be saved.

We affirm that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man, our Savior, Redeemer, and Lord.

SCRIPTUREDeuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1–14; Colossians 2:9; 1 Timothy 3:16

3. The Plan of Salvation

We believe salvation is made possible through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is received by grace through faith and experienced through obedience to the gospel, as proclaimed by the apostles.

Repentance: We believe every person is called to turn away from sin and turn toward God with a sincere heart, seeking His forgiveness and transformation.

Water Baptism: We believe in baptism by complete immersion in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. Baptism identifies the believer with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Infilling of the Holy Ghost: We believe in receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. The Holy Ghost empowers believers to live victoriously, grow spiritually, and fulfill God's purpose.

This is the New Testament message proclaimed on the Day of Pentecost and throughout the book of Acts.

SCRIPTUREActs 2:38–39; Acts 2:4; Acts 8:12–17; Acts 10:44–48; Acts 19:1–6; Romans 6:3–4; John 3:5

4. The Power of Prayer and Laying on of Hands

We believe prayer is essential to a living relationship with God. Through prayer, we experience His presence, seek His direction, intercede for others, and witness His power at work.

We also believe in the biblical practice of laying on of hands as an expression of faith, through which believers pray for healing, blessing, spiritual impartation, and commissioning for ministry. Our confidence rests not in the act itself, but in the power and authority of Jesus Christ.

SCRIPTUREJames 5:14–16; Mark 16:17–18; Acts 8:17; 1 Timothy 4:14; Philippians 4:6–7

5. The Working of Miracles

We believe Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The supernatural power of God did not cease with the early church.

We believe God still heals the sick, delivers the oppressed, restores broken lives, and performs miracles according to His divine will. We approach God with bold faith, trusting in His power, wisdom, and sovereignty.

SCRIPTUREHebrews 13:8; Mark 16:17–18; Acts 3:1–8; James 5:14–15; 1 Corinthians 12:10

6. The Gifts of the Spirit

We believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit remain active and relevant in the church today. These spiritual gifts are distributed by the Spirit for the strengthening, encouragement, and edification of the body of Christ.

We embrace the biblical gifts of wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, diverse kinds of tongues, and interpretation of tongues.

We believe these gifts should operate in love, humility, biblical order, and submission to the Word of God, always bringing glory to Jesus Christ.

SCRIPTURE1 Corinthians 12:4–11; 1 Corinthians 13:1–13; 1 Corinthians 14:26–40; Romans 12:6–8

7. The Church, Evangelism, and Discipleship

We believe Jesus Christ is the head of the church, and every believer is called to be an active part of His body.

The church exists to glorify God, proclaim the gospel, make disciples, and serve our communities with the love of Christ.

We embrace the biblical pattern of spiritual leadership, fellowship, teaching, worship, and accountability. We believe ministry is not limited to the pulpit; every believer has a calling to serve, share their faith, and participate in the Great Commission.

Our mission is not simply to gather people, but to develop devoted followers of Jesus Christ who will impact their families, communities, and the world.

SCRIPTUREMatthew 28:19–20; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:42–47; Ephesians 4:11–16; Colossians 1:18

8. Holiness in Lifestyle and Inward Worship

We believe holiness is God's call for His people to be set apart for Him. Holiness begins in the heart and is reflected in our thoughts, attitudes, relationships, speech, conduct, and outward lifestyle.

We believe a transformed life is the fruit of a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. Through the power of the Holy Ghost, believers are called to pursue righteousness, modesty, purity, humility, and obedience to God's Word.

True worship begins inwardly, with a surrendered heart and a life that honors God beyond the walls of the church.

SCRIPTURE1 Peter 1:15–16; Hebrews 12:14; Romans 12:1–2; 2 Corinthians 7:1; John 4:23–24

9. The Expression of Praise and Outward Worship

We believe God is worthy of passionate, sincere, and expressive worship.

Throughout Scripture, God's people are encouraged to praise Him through singing, clapping, lifting their hands, dancing, musical instruments, and joyful celebration.

We believe outward expressions of praise flow from inward gratitude, reverence, and devotion. Our worship is not merely a tradition or performance; it is a heartfelt response to the greatness, goodness, and presence of God.

We embrace both reverence and rejoicing as biblical expressions of worship.

SCRIPTUREPsalm 150:1–6; Psalm 47:1; Psalm 134:2; 2 Samuel 6:14; John 4:23–24

10. The Return of Jesus Christ and the Rapture

We believe in the literal, personal, and glorious return of Jesus Christ.

We believe Jesus will return for His church, and those who are in Christ will be caught up to meet Him in the air, an event commonly referred to as the Rapture.

This blessed hope inspires us to live faithfully, remain spiritually prepared, and proclaim the gospel with urgency until He comes.

SCRIPTURE1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; 1 Corinthians 15:51–52; John 14:1–3; Titus 2:13; Matthew 24:42–44

11. Judgment and Eternity

We believe every person will stand before God and give an account of their life. Scripture teaches that there will be a resurrection of the dead, a final judgment, and an eternal destiny.

We believe in the reality of heaven and hell, eternal life for those who belong to Christ, and eternal separation from God for those who reject His salvation.

Because eternity matters, we are committed to sharing the hope of the gospel, extending God's love, and helping people develop a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.

SCRIPTUREHebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:11–15; Revelation 21:1–4; Matthew 25:46; John 3:16–17
