Our Distinctives

 

The following are attributes that describe who we are and why we do what we do. We believe that we are accomplishing God’s mission for our community by:

LOVING PEOPLE — We readily accept all who visit. Our goal is for our visitors to feel like they are already part of the family.

IMPACTING WORD — We believe in the whole Bible. We are committed to teaching God’s truth and seek to walk it out in every area of life.

FERVENT PRAYER — We are a praying church! The believer was created to connect and communicate with God through prayer and prayer paves the way for breakthrough and miracles.

ENGAGING WORSHIP — We believe worship is a powerful way of experiencing the presence of God. Our worship services are lively, interactive, intimate, and fun. We aim to minister to Jesus and focus on His glory.

 
 

What We Believe

 
 
 

+ Scripture

We believe in the plenary-verbal inspiration of the accepted canon of the Scriptures as originally given and that they are infallibly and uniquely authoritative and free from error of any sort in all matters with which they deal, including scientific and historical as well as moral and theological. (II Timothy 3:16, I Corinthians 2:13)

+ God Himself

We believe in the Eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as ONE God existing in THREE persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible. (Matthew 28:19, 2 Cor. 13:14, Acts 20:28, I Tim. 3:16)

+ Biblical History

We believe in the full historicity and perspicuity of the Biblical record of primeval history, including the literal existence of Adam and Eve as the progenitors of all people, the literal fall and resultant divine curse on the creation, the worldwide cataclysmic deluge, and the origin of nations and languages at the tower of Babel. (Genesis 1-11)

+ Creation

We believe in the creation, test and fall of man as recorded in Genesis; his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain to divine righteousness. (John 1:1-3, Gen. 1:1, 2 Peter 3:1-10)

+ The Lord Jesus Christ

We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and very man. (Luke 1:26-35, Isaiah 9:6, Rom. 10:9)

+ Christ’s Death and Resurrection

We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples. (I Corinthians 15:1-4, Romans 4:25)

+ Christ’s Bodily Ascention

We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, His exaltation and personal, literal and bodily coming again the second time for the Church. (John 14:2-3, 1 Thes 4:13-18)

+ Salvation by Grace Through Faith

We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 9:12,22; Romans 5:11)

+ Water Baptism

We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the name of the Eternal Godhead in order to fulfill the command of Christ. (Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38, Matt. 28:29)

+ Baptism of the Holy Spirit

We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as an experience subsequent to salvation. (Acts 2:1-4, 8:14 17, 10:44-46, Acts 2:4, 10:44-46, Mark 16:17)

+ The Gifts of the Spirit

We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit as manifested in the Early Church. (I Corinthians 12-14)

+ Spirit-Filled Living

We believe in the Spirit-filled life, a life of separation from the world and perfecting holiness in the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith. (Ephesians 5:18, Rom. 8:8-15, I Cor. 12:7-11)

+ Healing

We believe in the healing of the body by Divine Power, or Divine healing in its varied aspects as practiced in the Early Church. (Acts 4:30, I Corinthians 12:9, Matt. 10:1, Acts 10:38,)

+ Set Free

We believe that the ministry of Jesus according to 1 John 3:8 was to destroy the works of the devil. Since we are to fulfill the great commission according to the commandments of Jesus, we too believe in tearing down strongholds in people’s lives with the weapons given to us by God. (2 Corinthians 10:4, Jer. 1:19, Luke 10:19)

+ Communion

We believe in the Table of the Lord, commonly called Communion or the Lord’s Supper, for believers. (I Corinthians 11:28-32)

+ Eternal Life

We believe in eternal life for believers (John 5:24; 3:16) and eternal punishment for unbelievers (Mark 9:43-50, II Thessalonians 1:9, Revelation 20:10-15, John 3:15-16, 1 John 5:11-12)

+ Satan and His Judgment

We believe in the reality and personality of Satan and eternal judgment of Satan and his angels. (Matthew 25:41, Revelation 20:10-15)
