WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God.
In the triune nature of God — the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God and are in need of salvation.
Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all.
That the infilling of the Holy Spirit is an experience subsequent to salvation, and that it is the will of God that all be filled.
Healing is provided in the redemptive work of Christ.
The Church consists of all those who have received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
In the personal, visual, imminent return of Jesus Christ.
In water baptism and the observance of communion.
WHAT
We Teach
Above all, we teach that God loves us and that defines how He connects to us. In addition, we teach the following principles:
- Lordship of Jesus Christ
- Grace – undeserved, unearned favor from God
- The Person and Godhead of the Holy Spirit and His work in the believer
- Faith in God and His Word
- Identification with Christ and His finished work thru the cross
- Love as the practical standard by which a believer’s maturity is measured
- Seedtime and harvest
- Living beyond oneself to experience the full blessing of Christ
