What we Believe

As God enables us, we will take the message of Jesus Christ into all the world and help people seek His Kingdom by preaching the Gospel message that calls for a decision which spiritually transforms people, churches, and cultures.

Our Core Christian Beliefs

• WE BELIEVE there is but one living and true God, creator of all things,
  infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy
  Spirit.  Each is worthy of our worship, trust and obedience.
• WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, conceived by the
  Holy Spirit and born of a virgin.  He lived a sinless life and made atonement for
  our sins by His death on the cross.  He arose bodily from the dead and
  ascended into heaven where, at the right hand of the Father, He is now our
  High Priest and Advocate.
• WE BELIEVE the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the
  inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God.  The scriptures are the supreme
  and final authority in all  matters about which they speak.
• WE BELIEVE that  man was created in the image of God to glorify and enjoy
  Him forever.  Men fell into sin by a willful act of disobedience to God; and
  consequently, all human beings are born with a sinful nature, commit acts of
  sin, and are eternally separated from God apart from salvation through Christ.
• WE BELIEVE that  the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ and His bodily
  resurrection provide the only ground of justification for all who believe.  This
  salvation is not obtained by human effort or merit, but is entirely a free gift of
  God's grace received through faith in Jesus Christ.  God Himself will make
  the faith of all genuine believers persevere to the end, so that no child of God
  will ever be lost again.
• WE BELIEVE that  all Christians will yet experience temporary personal sin
  and spiritual warfare in this life; but from the moment of salvation, God has
  provided the means for overcoming these in the truth of the Scriptures, the
  power of Christ through the indwelling Spirit, and the encouragement of the
  believers.
• WE BELIEVE in the personal return of our Lord Jesus Christ to earth in
  sovereign power and glory to visibly establish His righteous rule over creation. 
  This blessed hope should vitally affect the daily life and service of the believer.
• WE BELIEVE in the bodily resurrection of the dead, of the believer to
  everlasting blessedness and joy in the presence of God, and of the unbeliever
  to judgment and everlasting punishment apart from God.
