Our Beliefs

  • We believe in the One true God, the Eternal King. He is infinite, unchangeable, perfect in holiness, wisdom, goodness, justice, power and love. He is the creator and sustainer of all things and from all eternity exists as the only Living and True God in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory.

    Genesis 1:1-3, I John 5:7, Galatians 4:6, Matthew 28:19, I Timothy 1:17

  • We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His atoning death through his shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and his personal return in power and glory.

    Isaiah 7:14, Colossians 1:13-19, John1:1-3, Luke 1:26-38

  • We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is our abiding Helper, Teacher, and Guide. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the full exercise of all of the biblical gifts of the Spirit.

    Job 26:13, John 16:13-15, I Corinthians 12:4-11

  • We believe that the Holy Spirit inspired the human writers of Scripture so that the Bible is without error. We receive the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments as our final, absolute authority, in both doctrine and conduct.

    Psalm 138:2, II Timothy 3:15-17, Hebrews 4:12

  • We believe that God created mankind (male and female) in His image, for relationship with Himself, as well as to govern the earth. Due to the fall of Adam, creation now experiences the consequences and effects of Adam’s original sin. Human beings are born in sin, and are subject to God’s just judgment of death.

    Genesis 1:26-28, Romans 5:17-18

  • We believe that Salvation is by grace through faith in the sacrifice and victory of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. Salvation cannot be earned by any amount of good works or human effort.

    Psalm 18:46, Ephesians 2:8, Acts 4:12

  • We believe in the one, blood redeemed, universal Church. All who repent of their sins and confess Jesus as Lord and Savior are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and form the living Body of Christ, of which He is the head and of which we are all members. We believe that Christ has set men and women in the Church to serve the body of believers and equip them for the work of ministry. Therefore we receive all 5 distinct functions of the ministry of Jesus, Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher as operating in the Church today.

    Matthew 16:1, I Corinthians 1:2, Colossians 1:18, Ephesians 4:11-13

  • We believe that God’s kingdom has come in the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ, that it continues to come in the ministry of the Spirit through the Church, and that it will be consummated in the glorious, visible and triumphant Second appearing of Christ – His physical return to the earth to rule as King.

    Isaiah 9:6-7, Matthew 3:2, Revelation 1:7

Our Values

  • WE PRIZE INTIMACY WITH THE FATHER. OUR PURSUIT IS GROWING IN KNOWLEDGE OF HIM AND BECOMING INCREASINGLY AWARE OF THE PRESENCE OF JESUS IN OUR LIVES. AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM SAFEGUARDS AGAINST THE “PRODIGAL” AND “SLAVE” MENTALITIES THAT PLAGUE THE LIVES OF SO MANY. TRUE LIBERTY AND FREEDOM ONLY COME THROUGH GENUINELY ACCEPTING AND EXPERIENCING THE LOVE OF GOD. (PHL 3:10, GAL 4:7)

  • THE KINGDOM IS BUILT ON RELATIONSHIPS. ONE CONNECTION AT A TIME, THE BODY IS STRENGTHENED BY “THAT WHICH EACH JOINT SUPPLIES”. WE VALUE BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS ON MUTUAL HONOR, FIDELITY AND TRUST BY THE POWER OF HOLY SPIRIT. (EPH 2:21-22, 4:16)

  • SONS AND DAUGHTER’S COMING INTO THEIR FULL IDENTITY IN THE FATHER. THE VICTORY OF JESUS MADE US MORE THAN SERVANTS, MORE THAN FRIENDS; HIS VICTORY BROUGHT MANY SONS’ TO GLORY. LIVING IN LIGHT OF THAT SONSHIP PRODUCES AN OVERCOMING LIFE. (HEB 2:10, GAL 4:6)

  • WE HAVE A SPECIAL LOVE IN OUR HEART FOR THE LOCAL CHURCH. IT IS STILL RELEVANT; IT IS STILL GOD’S REDEMPTIVE VEHICLE IN THE EARTH. THE LOCAL CHURCH IS VITAL AS A CONNECTION POINT, WHERE THE MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSAL BODY OF CHRIST FIND THEIR PLACE. THE HOUSE OF GOD IS THE ONLY VESSEL ON EARTH THAT CAN HOUSE THE RIVER OF FATHERS GLORY, AND FACILITATE ITS HEALING FLOW TO THE NATIONS. (EZE 47:1-9,12, JHN 7:38, REV 21:1-2)
