What we believe 

THE HOLY SCRIPTURES

We believe the Holy Scriptures to be the verbal, inspired words of God, authoritative, and without error in the original manuscripts. 
2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21


THE GODHEAD
We believe that the Godhead eternally exists in three persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit and that these three are one God.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 28:19

 THE PERSON AND WORK OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, came into the world that He might manifest God to men, fulfill prophecy, and become the Redeemer of a lost world. 
Luke 1:30-35; John 1:1, 14, 18; Hebrews 4:15; Philippians 2:5-11

We believe He rose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He had lived and died and that His resurrected body is the pattern of the body that ultimately will be given to all believers.    John 20:20; Philippians 3:20-21 

 We believe that on departing earth, He was accepted by His Father and that His acceptance is a final assurance to us that His redeeming work was perfectly accomplished.  Hebrews 1:3

 We believe that He became head over all things to the church, which is His body, and in this ministry, He does not cease to intercede and advocate for the saved.

Luke 1:35; 1 Corinthians 15:1-3; Ephesians 1:23; Philippians 2:6-8; 2 Timothy 2:5; 1 John 2:1-2

THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity, dwells in every believer immediately after placing his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. God provides, through the Holy Spirit, the power to live the Christian life. Romans 5:5; 8:1-9; Galatians 5:16-25

We believe that every believer receives grace from God in the form of a spiritual gift, which enables him to function as a member of the body of Christ. Romans 12:6; 1 Corinthians 12:7; Ephesians 4:7

THE PERSONALITY OF SATAN
We believe that Satan, the devil, is the prince of demons and the declared adversary of God and man. However, when the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross, He limited the devil's power and guaranteed the ultimate triumph of God. Ephesians 2:2; 1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 20:10; Colossians 2:13-15

SALVATION 
We believe that no one can enter the kingdom of God unless born again spiritually and that the new birth of the believer comes only through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God.  John 3:17-18; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:13; Romans 4:4-5

We believe that the explicit message of our Lord Jesus Christ to those whom He has saved is to make Christ known to the whole world and that this is the purpose of the church through the individuals within it. Matthew 28:18-19; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:11-21

THE RAPTURE AND THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST

We believe that a future period of great tribulation on the earth will be climaxed by the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to the world as He went in person in the clouds with power and great glory to establish His millennial kingdom. But before this tribulation, we believe there will be the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in the air to receive to Himself into Heaven both His own who are alive and remain until He comes and all who have died in Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; Zechariah 14:4-11; Revelation 3:10 

ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ALL  BELIEVERS
We believe that all believers should seek to walk by the Spirit, separating themselves from worldly practices and witnessing by life and by word the truths of the Holy Scripture. Romans 12:1; Galatians 5:16, 25; 2 Corinthians 5:9-17

ETERNAL STATE

We believe that at death, the spirits and souls of those who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation pass immediately into His presence and there remain in conscious bliss until the resurrection of the glorified body when Christ comes for His own; after that, soul and body reunited shall be associated with Him forever in glory. All those who rejected Jesus Christ will eternally be separated from God to endure His eternal wrath forever.
2 Corinthians 5:8; Revelation 20:11-15; 21:1-27
