Our Beliefs

This Church accepts the Bible as the revealed Word of God, the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice, and for the purpose of maintaining general unity of statements of faith.

The Scriptures both Old and New Testament are the inspired, infallible revelation of God to man and the authority of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:23-25; Hebrews 4:12)

The one true God has revealed Himself as the “I AM,” the Creator, and Redeemer of mankind. (John 1:1-5, 10-14; Matthew 28:18-20)

The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death and resurrection, and ascension to the right hand of God. (Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21; Ephesians 2:8-10; Galatians 2:16, 2 Corinthians 5:10)

Man’s only hope is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Salvation is by faith through grace and demonstrated in repentance. (Romans 3:24; John 3:3) On the cross, Jesus Christ became sin and sickness providing both salvation and divine healing for all mankind (Psalm 103:3), being justified freely by His Grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. For by grace we are saved through faith. (Ephesians 2:8)

Celebrations of the Church

In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost and by full immersion. (Matthew 28:19; Roman 6:4; Acts 10:47-48)

The Lord’s Supper consisting of the Body and Blood represented in the fruit of the vine and bread. (1 Corinthians 11:24-25, 28)

A subsequent experience of the Holy Spirit coming upon our lives, according to Acts 1:8 and Acts 2:4 with one of the signs being speaking in other tongues along with other gifts (word of wisdom, word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, tongues, and interpretation of tongues) and a courageous, Spirit-led life. (Acts 2:4, 10:44-46; 19:2, 6; 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Galatians 5:16-26)

The act of separation from that which is evil, and dedication unto God. (Romans 6:6; 1 Corinthians 6:11; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 2 Thessalonians 2:13)

The Church is the representative of Jesus on earth and is to carry out the Great Commission. (Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23)

A divinely called and scripturally ordained minister has been provided by God to lead the church in evangelization, worship, building the body, and general leadership of the church. (Ephesians 4:11-16; Romans 12:3-8)

Total Healing and Prosperity is provided for today by the Scriptures and included in the atonement for our sins.

a) Spiritual. 3 John 2; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21
b) Mental. 2 Timothy 1:7; Romans 12:2; Isaiah 26:3
c) Physical. Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24
d) Financial. Malachi 3:10-11; Luke 6:38; 2 Corinthians 8:9, 9:6-15; Deuteronomy 28:1-14
e) Social. Proverbs 3:4; Luke 2:52; Esther 2:15

 The resurrection of the just is the blessed hope of the body of Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

The second coming of Christ includes the rapture and a return to earth by Christ with His saints for a thousand-year reign. After this, there shall be a new heaven and a new earth, where all of God’s children will reign forever. (2 Thessalonians 1:7; Revelation 19:11-16, 20:1-6; Revelation 21)

There will be a final judgement at which all men will be judged. (Matthew 25:31-46)

Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ will suffer eternal separation from the Godhead. The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, and anyone whose name is not found written in the Book of Life, shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. This is the second death, the lake of fire. (Revelation 19:20, 20:10-15)

God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family, the basic structure of human society. (Genesis 2:24) The Bible recognizes marriage as exclusively the legal union of one man and one woman. (Titus 1:6) The Bible also teaches that legitimate sexual relations are exercised solely within the Biblical model of marriage. (Hebrews 13:4) 

Sexual activity outside of the Biblical marriage—such as adultery, fornication, viewing pornography, incest, homosexuality, attempts to reject or alter one’s biological gender, pedophilia, and bestiality—violate the teachings of the Bible and is therefore sinful and incompatible with Christian behavior. (Genesis 19:5-7, 26:8-11; Leviticus 18:1-29, 20:13; Matthew 19:4-6; Romans 1:26-29; 1 Corinthians 5:1, 6:9-10; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8)

 God is the Creator and owner of all life. (Genesis 1:25; Psalm 50:10-12) He made us in His own image (Genesis 1:27; 2:7; James 3:9) and He calls us to Him from the moment of conception, before we are even born. (Jeremiah 1:5; Psalm 139:13-16; Isaiah 49:1, 5; Luke 1:15; Job 10:8-12, 31:13-15) Children are a gift from God, (Psalm 127:3 and God hates the shedding of their blood through the sin of abortion. (Proverbs 6:16-17) Therefore, no health insurance plan of employee benefit of the church shall fund any abortion procedure, abortifacient drug, or any procedure or drug which utilizes or results in the production of tissue from abortion. Additionally, the Church rejects the use of aborted babies (fetal tissue) in research of manufacture of any vaccine or drug. (Jeremiah 1:4-5; Psalms 127:3; Joshua 24:15; Ephesians 6:1-4
