WHAT WE BELIEVE
1. We believe the Bible to be the divinely inspired and authoritative Word of God, inerrant in its original documents. As such, it is absolutely supreme and all-sufficient in all matters of faith and practice.
(2 Timothy 3:16–17, John 17:17)
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14)
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless human life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal, viable, and bodily return in power and glory.
(Philippians 2:6–11, Acts 1:11)
4. We believe in the present-day ministry of the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgement. His ministry is to regenerate, seal, sanctify, fill, empower, and equip with spiritual gifts those who believe in Jesus Christ, enabling them to live a Christ-like life.
(John 16:8, Titus 3:5, Ephesians 1:13–14)
5. We believe that for the salvation of the lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. Salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. On the basis of this faith, all will be judged by God at the Resurrection. There will be a bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust.
(Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:16, John 5:28–29)
6. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. The Church universal is not an organization but is a living organism comprised of all true believes in Jesus Christ. The local church is the expression in a particular locality of the Church universal. It gathers by the leading of the Holy Spirit as a corporate testimony to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and to the oneness of the Body of Christ.
(Ephesians 4:4–6, 1 Corinthians 12:12–13)
"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work."
2 Timothy 3:16-17
