What We Believe

We believe that God exist in three Persons.

God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. I believe that God has always existed, and that He is the One and only true and living God. I agree that He is the Creator of all and is perfect, holy, just, righteous, Redeemer, and Ruler of the Universe. I believe that God is all-present, all-powerful, and all-knowing.( Mtt. 28:19, Is. 45:5, Jn 17:3)

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God.

He became man without ceasing to be God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary with the purpose of revealing God and redeeming sinful humanity. Jesus never sinned. Through complete obedience to the Father, and His substitutionary death on the Cross, He made provision for the redemption of humanity from sin. He was raised from the dead with a glorified body and appeared to many followers for forty days. His resurrection from the dead was proof that the God the Father had accepted the sacrifice that Jesus had made on our behalf. He ascended into Heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of the Father where He is our Mediator and is constantly making intercession for the believers. Jesus is the only name in Heaven and on Earth by which mankind can be saved. One day, He will return in power and in glory to judge the living and the dead. (Lk. 1:35, Eph 1:7, Rm. 3:24, Heb 7:25, 1 Jn. 2:1-2, Acts 4:12, 2 Tim 4:1)

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine.

He convicts the world of sin and righteousness. He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption. He also inspired holy men to write the Holy Scriptures, and He also enables believers through illumination to truly understand those Scriptures. His main ministry is to exalt Christ. He 'grows and matures' the believers and bestows Spiritual Gifts upon them by which they serve God through His church (1 Corinthians 12:3 – 11). He enlightens and empowers the believer and the church in worship, evangelism, and service. (Eph 4:30, Rom 8:9-11, Rom 8:26-27, 1 Cor. 12:13)

We believe that Believer's Baptism and the Lord's Supper are Scriptural means of testimony in the local Church.

Believer's Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior… as well as, a symbol of the believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus. Baptism is a prerequisite to the privileges of church membership and to partake of the Lord's Supper. The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience where members of the church are reminded of the work of Jesus on the Cross and through the Resurrection (Luke 22:14 – 23). It is an opportunity for fellowship and repentance of unconfessed sin (1 Corinthians 11:17 – 34). “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and Holy Spirit” Matt. 28:19
