FOR US, IT’S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT JESUS

WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS:

About God

God is the creator of all things, seen and unseen. God is eternal and honestly good, knowing all things and holding all power and majesty. God exists as the Trinity. He is three persons, yet  one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Genesis 1; Matthew 28:19; John 14:26; Colossians 1:16

About Jesus Christ

God displayed himself in human form through his son, Jesus Christ. Jesus was born of the virgin, Mary, and lived a sinless life. Displaying his commitment to God and us, he died on the cross for our sins. Jesus Christ was then buried, resurrected from the dead, and ascended into heaven.

John 1:1-5; Luke 23:26-43; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35; 1 Peter 2:22; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 1 Corinthians 15:4; Matthew 28:6

About the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity and lives inside all who believe in Jesus Christ.  All believers can be baptized in the Holy Spirit, and live in His overflowing fullness. The Holy Spirit gives each follower diverse gifts and produces Christ-like character in our lives. He also teaches, comforts and empowers us.

Acts 1:8; Acts 8:12-17; Acts 11:14-16; 1 Corinthians 12:4-10; John 14:26

About the Bible

We believe God speaks to us through the Bible, and that it was written by men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is our standard in all we say and do. We believe that God’s unchangeable Biblical message ought to be presented in a relevant way portraying a real hope, to real people through a real God.

2 Timothy 3:16; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21

About Salvation

All people are created with dignity and value in the image of God. Salvation comes to people on the basis of God’s grace and compassion, through their faith in Jesus alone. They receive the free gift of forgiveness and are spiritually reborn by repenting of their sin and believing in Jesus Christ. Good works and a holy life, although totally unable to save anyone, are the natural products of repentant, believing people.

John 3:3; John 3:16-17; Ephesians 2:8; Titus 3:5-7; John 14:6

About Equality

We believe that every person that receives Jesus Christ as Lord is a child of God and every person is equal in being, regardless of race, gender, culture or class.

Genesis 1:27; Romans 2:11; Galatians 3:26-29; Proverbs 22:2; Acts 17:26; Romans 3:22-24; James 2:1-9

John 3:3; John 3:16-17; Ephesians 2:8; Titus 3:5-7; John 14:6

About Baptisms and Communion

We practice baptisms and communion as taught by the Bible. Water baptism is a public act used to identify our lives with Christ; first with His death and then with His resurrection into a new life. Every believer can be baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit who teaches, comforts and empowers us. Communion is a time of deep reflection and recommitment to Jesus Christ and to His church.

Matthew 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

About Marriage

We believe Scripture teaches that marriage is the sacred covenant of one man and one woman in a union to the exclusion of all others. This union is established by an authorized ceremony under God. We believe Scripture teaches that sex is a blessing to be rightly experienced only within heterosexual marriage. Therefore, we do not condone sex outside of marriage, pornography, nor living as husband and wife when not married.

Matthew 15:19; Romans 13:13; 1 Corinthians 6:9-20; Hebrews 13:4

About The Church

Christ is returning for a glorious overcoming bride - His Church. We are sons and daughters of the King, more than “sinners saved by grace.” We aim to fulfill the Great Commission and steward revival to the next generation. We embrace the biblical government of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.

Ephesians 1:22-23; Matthew 28:19-20; Ephesians 4:11-16; Revelation 19:7; Romans 8:9-17; Revelation 21

Matthew 15:19; Romans 13:13; 1 Corinthians 6:9-20; Hebrews 13:4
