What We Believe
What We Believe
In Study
…Of the Word of God in its proper context rightly dividing the TRUTH.
II Timothy 2:14-15

In Holiness
…In our bodies and in our lifestyles, without which no man shall see the Lord.
Lev. 20:7-24 & Hebrews 12:14-17

Romans 6:1-11

In Baptism of the Holy Spirit
…Which is freely given to all who confess with their mouth, disassociate from the world, and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, thereby receiving the power to become the sons and daughters of God, and to be witnesses for Him.
John 1:12 & Acts 1:8

That our salvation is not by our works, or earthly wisdom
…Lest any should boast: but as we yield ourselves, by faith in the Word of God, to the work of God on the inside, that we will work because our heads have been lifted, and because we are his children.
Ephesians 2:8-10

That after we are converted, we strengthen our brethren
...By keeping the unity of the Faith.

That even as we yield to the Holy Spirit (Who gives us power), that we are being trained thereby unto holiness
…Which stabilizes and impacts our families, our jobs and our communities.
II Corinthians 3:3, I Timothy 4:7-8, Hebrews 12:11

In the operation of the spiritual gifts
…As recorded in the book of Ephesians, 1 Corinthians and Romans, and operating them in accordance to the Word of God.

Human Sexuality and Marriage

We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between one man and one woman. We believe that God disapproves of and forbids any attempt to alter one’s gender by surgery or appearance. 

(Gen. 2:24; Gen. 19:5, 13; Gen. 26:8-9; Lev. 18:1-30; Rom. 1: 26-29; 1 Cor. 5:1; 6:9; 1 Thess. 4:1-8; Heb. 13:4).

We believe that the biblical definition of marriage is the covenantal joining of one man and one woman. 

(Gen. 2:24; Rom. 7:2; 1 Cor. 7:10; Eph. 5:22-23).

WE BELIEVE IN THE ETERNAL TRIUNE GOD: FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT

There is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each of these three persons is equal in every divine perfection, and together they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence, and redemption.
(Matthew 28:19; John 1:1-4; I John 5:7)



Jesus Christ is the second person of the Trinity, fully God, eternally begotten of the Father, not created. 

He became fully human, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and made His dwelling among people. He lived a sinless life, died a substitutionary atoning death, resurrected in a physical body, and ascended into heaven. (Jesus Christ is LORD, the Head of the Church above all.) He intercedes for his people and will make a visible return to earth.


‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

”Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.”

(Isaiah 7:14; John 1:1,14; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:2-3; I John 1:7.)
