Our Statement of Faith

​​​

• The Inspiration of the Scriptures – We believe that the Bible is God-inspired (2 Tim. 3:16,17).

• The Eternal Godhead – We believe that God is triune - Father, Son, Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 13:14).

• The Holy Spirit – We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to indwell, guide, and empower the church for godly living and service in the world.

• Baptism of the Holy Spirit - We believe that baptism with the Holy Spirit empowers believers, and that the Holy Spirit’s incoming follows the same pattern described in the New Testament (Acts 2:4).

• The Spirit filled Life - We believe that it is the will of God that we walk in the power of the Holy Spirit daily (Eph. 4:30-32).

• Water Baptism and Communion - We believe that baptism by immersion in water is an outward sign of an inward work (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4). We believe in commemorating our Communion with Christ through the symbolic use of bread and drink (1 Cor. 11:24, 25).

• The Gifts and Fruit of the Spirit – We believe that God actively displays His grace in those who have been filled with His Spirit (1 Cor. 12:1-11), and that the Spirit's indwelling is further evidenced through its influence on our character and conduct (Gal. 5:22-25).

• The New Birth - We believe that a genuine change takes place in people who accept Christ as Savior and allow his life to be lived through them (2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 2:20).

• Divine Healing - We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the sick in answer to prayer offered in faith (Jas. 5:14-16).

• Church Relationship – We believe that followers of Christ have a sacred duty to identify with the visible church of Jesus Christ and should meet regularly with fellow believers (Heb. 10:24, 25).

• The Work of the Church - We believe that the church’s primary responsibilities are taking the gospel to the entire world and raising up disciples of Jesus (Mark 16:15; Matt. 28:19-20).

• Moderation - We believe that people who follow Christ should avoid the extremes of fanaticism and pursue lives of balance and moderation, demonstrating gentleness and patience (Phil. 4:5, KJV; Col. 3:12, 13).

• Tithes and Offerings – We believe the method ordained by God for the support and spread of His cause is giving tithes and offerings (Mal. 3:10; 2 Cor. 9:7).
