Core Beliefs

The following beliefs are based on  foundational truths taught in the bible and represent are core beliefs. The bible is divinely written as God's infallible truth and  is our primary authority to pattern every belief and teaching. (2 Tim 3:15-17)

God

We believe in the Oneness of God as it is explained in the New Testament and Old Testament, for He is the creator of all that exists.  Deuteronomy 6:4 states,  “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD."  The Apostle Paul wrote: “One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all,
and in you all.” (Ephesians 4:5-6)

Revelation

We believe that Jesus is the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. (Mat. 28:19; John 5:43, 10:30, 12:45, 14:8–9; Phil. 2:9-11)
 All the fullness of the godhead rests bodily in Jesus Christ. (Col. 2:9) We believe salvation is a free gift to all who repent of their sins, are baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and are filled with the Holy Ghost by the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance. (Acts 2:38, 4:12, 10:44–48; Eph. 2:8, 4:5)
 We believe that we are a chosen people, separated from the world; and that we should live a holy life both inwardly and outwardly.
(1 Pet. 2:9; 2 Cor. 6:17-18)

Salvation

Everyone has sinned and is in need of salvation through Christ alone. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now by grace offers the gift eternal life to all who follow Him. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone, for the gift of eternal life begins with the infilling of the Holy Ghost.
(Psa. 51:5; Rom. 3:23-25; 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9)

The Gospel

The Gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins on the cross, was buried in the tomb, and rose again on the third day. We express our belief in the gospel through our obedience. We obey the gospel and apply it to our lives by repenting of our sins (death to sin), being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the removal of our sins (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost (resurrection). This threefold experience is the consistent pattern of conversion in the early church (1 Cor. 15:1-4; 2 Thes. 1:8; 1 Pet. 4:17; Mark 1:15; Acts 15:7; Rom. 6:3-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; 8:9-17; 10:1-48; 19:1-7).

Resurrection

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth. As it is written in His word, the righteous will inherit eternal life and the unrighteous will inherit eternal death.  (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:7,15; 21:8)

Christian Living

As Christians, we are to love God and seek to live a life that is pleasing unto Him. The new life of holiness will transform us both inwardly and outwardly—in our thoughts, words, lifestyle, and actions. We are empowered to live a life pleasing to God through the Holy Ghost. We believe that the supernatural gifts of the Spirit are for the church today and available to those who make their life a dwelling place for Him.  (Mark 12:28-31; 1 Cor. 6:19, 12:8-10; 2 Cor. 7:1; Rom. 8:13-14; Gal. 5:19-26; Heb. 12:14)
