Our Beliefs

​

The teachings of this ministry follow the fundamental truths of Christian orthodoxy outlined in the following statements:

​

  1. We believe that the Scriptures, Old and New Testaments, are God-breathed: that by the supernatural influence of the Holy Spirit, the biblical writers wrote the divine, trustworthy, and authoritative Word of God, the only rule of faith and practice.

  2. We believe in the one true God who has revealed Himself incarnate as Jesus Christ was born and died for the redemption of mankind.

  3. We believe in the Incarnation: the deity of Jesus of Nazareth - that He is Lord, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is truly God and truly man.

  4. We believe that mankind was created by God in His image, fell into sin through disobedience, marred God's image, plunged all of creation into depravity.

  5. We believe in the Substitutionary Atonement: that Jesus, the Christ died on the Cross for our sins, obtained eternal redemption for us, was buried, and was raised bodily from the dead on the third day, fulfilling Old Testament prophecy, and appeared to His disciples.

  6. We believe that Jesus Christ ascended bodily into heaven and that He will literally and physically return the second time for the rapture of the Church.

  7. We believe that salvation of the repentant sinner, by grace through faith is accomplished in the finished work of Christ on the Cross, produces the "Abundant Life".

  8. We believe in water baptism by immersion in the Name of Jesus, as an obedient response of the believer to the command of the Lord.

  9. We believe in the baptism with the Holy Spirit, the promise empowering believers to live holy in the world and to witness about Christ.

  10. We believe that speaking in other tongues is an initial manifestation of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit that every believer has a right to expect, and that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are to operate in the local church until Jesus returns.

  11. We believe in the local church as the primary instrument of God in the earth to disciple men, and to establish the kingdom of God through prayer, fellowship, and the ministry of the Word.
