What We Believe

These are foundational truths of which we base our beliefs and standard principles by which we govern our lives.

Statement of Faith

Having committed myself to the teachings of Jesus Christ and having experienced the acceptance, forgiveness and redemption of God our Father through His Son, I join in spiritual relationship with this church and ministry. With God’s help through the guiding presence of His spirit, I will strive by principle and practice to uphold this covenant.

I believe the Bible to be fully written by men who were divinely inspired by the Spirit of God concerning all matters of life, faith and conduct.

I believe that there is one God who is the only true and living triune God. I maintain that a relationship with God is essential and should be the central focus to achieve an accomplished, balanced, victorious, abundant, successful, prosperous, and productive life that is full of wisdom, knowledge and power to fulfill the needs of one’s “whole” self.

I believe in the Blessed Trinity. By God, through God and for God were all things created. By the Son and through His power, blood, and resurrection, all things were manifested, established, and fulfilled. By the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, we are comforted, kept, influenced, and empowered to live.

I believe Jesus Christ to be the only begotten Son of God, born of the virgin Mary, crucified, died and buried; and has risen from the dead to redeem us from a life of sin. Having accepted Him as my personal Savior I strive to live according to the principles to which He has taught.

I believe in the Holy Spirit whose indwelling is evidenced by the speaking of tongues; supported by ones Christian character; and, maintained through a dedicated and committed life, demonstrating principles of Kingdom living. The Holy Spirit is a governing and keeping power that sustains and maintains right relationship with God, empowering all to live a fruitful and productive life in this present world.

I believe that Satan is an actual spirit, and not an imaginary influence. He is a real and active force opposing God and man in every age. He once enjoyed high heavenly honors and glorious heavenly privileges; but through pride, ambition, and self-will attempted to betray the Almighty, bringing down upon his head the judgment of God. He operates today as the god of this world and prince of the power of the air, being the father of all lies, the greatest enemy, the mightiest tempter, and the most relentless accuser of the saints. He shall be cast into the lake of fire, the eternal place of punishment, prepared for him, his angels, and those who follow him.

I believe that man was originally created in the image and after the likeness of God; and that through voluntary transgression, fell from his high, holy, and happy state; thus inflicting consequence and penalty for entering into a life of sin.

I believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through true repentance and faith in the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross.

I believe that Baptism in water is an outward sign of an inward change taught, shown, and fulfilled in the scriptures by Jesus Christ and confirmed by the council of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

I believe the Five-fold Ministry, being that of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers – is there for the perfecting of saints.

I believe in the Blessed Hope, which is the Rapture of the Saints, which are in Christ at His return.

Affirmation

I believe that this church offers spiritual development and reinforces the importance of spiritual stability and maturity founded and grounded with an understanding of the Gospel and power of Jesus Christ. Through membership, I can be prepared and equipped with essential, fundamental, and foundational principles to successfully move toward a destiny that awaits me as I strive to fulfill the purpose God has set for my life.

I believe that with as much that lies within me, I can learn to live in unity, harmony, fellowship, friendship and right relationship with God and my fellow man.

I will strive for the advancement of this church by partaking of its ordinances, submitting to its disciplines and doctrine; and, being faithful with my support in attendance, prayers, tithes, offerings, and positive reflection in regards to others to ignite, influence, and persuade with expectation of growth in membership and discipleship.
