Our Beliefs, Vision, Mission, and Calling
Training and Equipping Believers to Become Disciples of Jesus Christ, Who Walk in Power and Demonstration
Statement of Belief
The Holy Scriptures
We believe that the Holy Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired word of God and serve as the ultimate authority in all matters of faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:15; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).
The One True God
We affirm the existence of one true God, revealed as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10-11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22), and acknowledge Jesus Christ as the eternal Son of God.
​
The Deity of Jesus Christ
The Scriptures declare:
* His virgin birth (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31-35)
* His sinless life (Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 2:22)
* His miracles (Acts 2:22)
* His substitutionary work on the cross (1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21)
* His bodily resurrection (Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; 1 Corinthians 15:21)
* His exaltation to the right hand of God (Acts 1:9-11; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1:3).
​
The Fall of Man and Salvation
We hold that humanity was created in God's image but fell into sin, resulting in spiritual separation from Him (Genesis 1:26-27; 2:17; 3:6; Romans 5:12-19). Our only hope for salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ, received through repentance and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit (Luke 24:47; Matthew 3:3; Romans 10:9; Ephesians 2:8; Titus 2:11; 3:5-7).
​
Baptism and the Lord's Supper
We recognize the importance of baptism by immersion as a declaration of faith (Matthew 16:16; Acts 10:47; Romans 6:4) and the Lord's Supper as a memorial of Christ's sacrifice (1 Corinthians 11:26). We believe in the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, empowering believers for service and equipping them with spiritual gifts (Luke 24:29; Acts 1:4; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31).
​
Divine Healing and the Great Commission
Divine healing is an integral part of the Gospel. We commit to sharing God's love and compassion for all, actively participating in the Great Commission to disciple all nations (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 4:18).
​
