MISSION:

Receive the Blessing ~ Be the Blessing ~ Give the Blessing!

WE BELIEVE:

  • The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.

  • There is only One True God revealed in three persons…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).

  • In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s son, Jesus was both human and divine.

  • Though originally created good, man willingly fell to sin, ushering evil, death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.

  • Every person can have restored fellowship with God through “Salvation”, accepting Christ’s forgiveness for sin.

  • There are two ordinances the church practices: Water Baptism (by immersion after repenting of one’s sins and receiving Christ’s gift of salvation), and Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation.

  • The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a special experience following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times.

  • The initial, physical evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is “speaking in Tongues” as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistles.

  • Sanctification initially occurs at salvation. Sanctification is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but is a progressive lifelong process of believers separating themselves from evil and continuing to draw close to God, becoming more Christ-like.

  • The Church has a mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin.  We believe ‘the Church’ is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God’s offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of God the Father’s Son: Jesus Christ.

  • A divinely called and Scripturally Ordained leadership ministry serves the Church. We are committed to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, and to edify the body of believers—the Church.

  • Divine Healing of the sick is a privilege for Christians today and is provided through the atonement Christ gave us through His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins.

  • In the Blessed Hope when Jesus Christ raptures His Church prior to His second coming.  There is a future moment when all believers will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever.

  • In the Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for l,000 years. His reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the establishment of universal peace.

  • A final judgment will take place for those who have rejected Christ.  They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a lake of fire.

  • The New Heavens and the New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him.
