Faith declaration

The Authority of the Bible

• We believe the Bible is God-inspired, and is to be the authoritative rule of life and practice for all Christians.

• We believe the Scriptures can be fulfilled and must not be broken.

• We believe that the Old Testament was the type and shadow of better things to come, and that the New Testament is the perfect expression of God’s will and Character as expressed through Jesus Christ.

• The Epistles are the expression of what Christ has done for us and desires to do through us.

The Eternal Godhead

• We believe God is Triune: Therefore Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are equally Divine and therefore equally deity.

HolySpirit Empowerment

• We believe that the Holy Spirit empowers believers to live a life pleasing unto God, to do the works of Christ, and to meet the needs of all humanity.

Salvation

• We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon for all who believe in Him, and that we have no righteousness (of our own) and must come to God pleading the righteousness of Christ as our only justification.

The Kingdom of God

• We believe the Kingdom of God is what Jesus preached and demonstrated and that we are to continue His ministry in the same manner and with the same results.

• We also believe that we are to advance the Kingdom of God upon the earth until such time as Christ shall entreat us to enter into the joy of our Lord.

Faith Towards God

• We believe that we are to have faith towards God based upon the promises of God and that the fulfillment of those promises are based upon God’s faithfulness.

• We believe that we are to have faith in God and not in our faith.

• Our faith is that God has and will keep His Word.

Christian Mission

• We believe that the Christian Mission is to: Love God in thought, word, and deed & to love your neighbor as yourself, which is practiced by doing unto them as you would have done unto you.

• Your love for God and man will be demonstrated by reproducing disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, both domestically and in foreign lands by every Biblical method.

Healing In Atonement

• We believe Divine Healing is the power of God to heal the sick (in mind or body), that healing for every person was included in Christ’s atoning sacrifice, and that it is God’s will for every Christian to minister healing to anyone at any time.

Grace & Repentance From Dead Works

• We believe that the grace which came by Jesus Christ is extended to all to the end that they might believe in Him.

• We believe this grace is both the opportunity and the ability given to men to repent and turn to Christ for the remission of sin.

• We believe repentance from dead works includes forsaking any works that might be thought to merit favor or salvation from God.

The Judgment

• We believe that the judgment of God has been passed unto Jesus.

• That God is not judging anyone at this time.

• There is a day of Judgment but it is not today.

The Church – Which is His Body

• We believe the church (on earth) is comprised of all in whom the Spirit of Christ dwells, and that the church is the body of Christ upon the earth and is to grow up into Him in all things.
