Get familiar with our Doctrinal Beliefs.

Jesus Christ is the infinite God-Man. By saying “infinite” we mean, He has always existed. He was not a created being…He was, is and always will be. By saying “God” is to say He is fully God. By saying “Man” is to say He was fully man. All that God is, is embodied in Jesus. All that man is supposed to be, is embodied in Jesus. We see God most clearly in the person of Jesus who was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life; He died a gruesome death on the cross which was the once and for all sacrifice for our sins according to the scriptures. He further, arose from the dead, ascended to heaven, where He is seated at the right hand of the Father ever making intercession for us…and He is coming again-maybe today!

The primary ministry of the Holy Spirit is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ. He does this by convicting men of sin and convincing men of their need for a growing personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, His Son. He enables men to know God and He empowers men to grow in God and advance God’s Kingdom here on earth. We believe that the Holy Spirit baptizes men and women into the family of God at the point of conversion; yet, we are commanded in scripture to be continually filled with the Spirit – or, controlled by the Spirit. At the point of conversion, the Spirit gives gifts to enable us to advance God’s Kingdom. As we are filled with the Spirit, we are empowered to advance His Kingdom. The baptism of the His Spirit occurs once, but we are commanded in scripture to be filled “again and again”. (Note: As a part of the ministry time which concludes each Sunday morning worship, we invite people to be “filled” with the Holy Spirit. We believe that it is impossible to please God apart from being Spirit-filled.)The spiritual gifts as cited in scripture – Romans 12.6-8, I Corinthians 12.4-30, Ephesians 4.7-13 and I Timothy 4.13 – are still in operation today for the building up of the church in order that God’s Kingdom may be advanced.

Both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God. Its inspiration permeates its origin and subsequent translations such that every word of it can be trusted fully to lead us to God. It will always be the final authority for all Christian faith and life.

Man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin and is therefore lost; and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can he know forgiveness of sin and can he receive eternal life.

Only through the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ can man be saved from his lostness. According to the scripture, only when a man chooses to receive Jesus as Lord, does he come to know Jesus as Savior. It is as though he was “born again”. The new birth is an act of the Holy Spirit, whereby He communicates clearly and perfectly the grace of God to a willing individual. (see: Romans 8.39; I John 4.10-11) (see also: Romans 8.26-39; Romans 10.9-10, 13) (and: Ephesians 2.1-10)

We believe in the personal and imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Believing that He may return today stirs us to enjoy His life fully ourselves and stirs us to share His life with others. (see: I Thessalonians 4.13-18)

We practice water baptism by immersion after a person has both accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and shown evidence of that new life. Communion, or the Lord’s Supper, which was instituted by our Lord is a memorial service that looks back to Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross and that looks forward to His Second Coming. All believers should participate in both baptism and communion as only believers can fully appreciate and celebrate what each mean. (see: Romans 6.1-5; Luke 22.14-23; I Corinthians 11.23-26)
