a fellowship of believers under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed to His image by the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives through prayer and the study of His Word, observing all that Jesus taught to help Him in His Kingdom, here and hereafter. We give great importance to music in our Worship Services and believe that the worship of God should be inspirational, spiritual, personal, and fruitful.
1. That there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Deut 6:4), equal in power and glory; that this triune God is Omnipotent (All Powerful, Matthew 28:18, Rom 1:20, Rev 19:6), Omniscient (All Knowing, John 16:30, Psalm 139: 1-6), and Omnipresent (Everywhere at all times, Matthew 28:20).
2. We believe in the Gospel of Christ, that Jesus Christ is fully God (John 1:1) and fully human (John 1:14) , that He was born of a virgin (Luke 1:35), that He lived a sinless life (2 Cor 5:21), that He provided for the atonement of our sins by His death on the Cross (Rom 5:8), that He was dead and buried for three days (1 Cor 15:3-4) that He was literally and physically resurrected from the dead (Mathew 28:5), that He ascended back to the right hand of God the Father and ever lives to make intercession for us (Rom 8:34). 3. We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the Word of God, and is the final authority for faith and life. That the Holy Bible is inerrant, infallible in every matter in it’s original writings. That scripture is God-breathed and does not contradict itself.(2 Tim 3:16-17). 4. We believe that all people are by nature separated from God and responsible for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Tim 2:4). When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit (Eph 1:13), all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.
5. We believe that all the justified, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever (John 6:37-40; 10:27-30). 6. We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Scriptures, and that they are valid for today if they are exercised within the Scriptural guidelines (1 Cor 12), using these gifts to edify the whole Body of Christ (1 Cor 14).
7. We believe in the obedience of water baptism (immersion), and is an outward means or testimony to ones faith, however baptism is not a requirement for salvation (Matt 28:19-20; Acts 2:41 18:8).
We believe in that “blessed hope,” the personal, imminent, pre-tribulational and pre-millennial coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for the church; and in His subsequent return to earth, with His saints, to establish His Millennial Kingdom, which will begin only after the second advent (1 Thess 4:13-18; Zech 14:4-11; Rev 19:11-16; 20:1-6; 1 Thess 1:10; 5:9; Rev 3:10).
