WHAT WE BELIEVE

We Believe...

The Bible

Scriptures are inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind. 2 Timothy 3:15-17

The Godhead

God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (commonly known as the Godhead). There is only One True and living God, revealed in three manifestations..

Isaiah 43:10,11

Jesus

In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s only begotten son, Jesus was both human and divine.

Matthew 1:23. John 3:16

Sin

Though originally good, man willingly fell to sin–ushering evil and death, both physically and spiritually, into the world.

Romans 5:12-19

Salvation

Every person can have restored fellowship with God through ‘Salvation’ (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Lord & Savior).

Romans 10:13-15

The Holy Sacraments

And practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one’s sins and receiving Christ’s gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation.

Matthew 28:19, 1 Corinthians 11:26

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a special experience following salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times.

Acts 1:8

The Church

The Church has a mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe ‘the Church’ is the body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God’s offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ. Mark 16:15,16

The Second Coming

In The Blessed Hope—When Jesus raptures His church prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever.

1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17
