Denomination and statement of faith
Non-Denominational
WE BELIEVE THE BIBLE is the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God, and divine revelation of Jesus Christ, God's only Son. Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3: 15-17, 1 Peter 1:23-25 WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS IN FACT THE SON OF GOD, was born of a virgin, walked upon and ministered on the earth, died the death on the cross, arose from the dead, and now is seated at the right hand of God. Luke 1: 26-35, Luke 24: 1-11, Matthew 28: 1-10, John 20: 1-10, Mark 16:19. WE BELIEVE THAT BAPTISM IN WATER IS AN ACT OF OBEDIENCE and a statement to the world that the believer has died with Christ and has been raised with Him in the newness of life. Romans 6:4, Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38. WE BELIEVE THAT ALL OF GOD'S WORD IS TRUE and can be acted upon today because all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, thoroughly equipped for every good work with the confidence that He will confirm it with signs following. 2Timothy 3: 16-17, Mark 16: 17- 20. WE BELIEVE IN THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST and that we are members of His body and shall reign together with Him. Matthew 24: 27, 2 Thessalonians 1: 7, 1 Thessalonians 4: 16-17, John 14: 3, Hebrews 9: 28 WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ONE GOD, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and in Jesus Christ all the fullness of the Godhead dwells. 1 John 5:7, Colossians 2:9. WE BELIEVE THAT SALVATION COMES BY BELIEVING with your heart and that Jesus was raised from the dead and confession with your mouth that Jesus is Lord. Romans 10:9-10. WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST HAS SENT the comforter, in the person of the Holy Spirit. John 14: 16-17, John 14: 26, John 16:17. WE BELIEVE THAT SUPERNATURAL HEALING is the privilege of a believer. On Calvary, Jesus Christ became sin and sickness and shed His blood to provide salvation and healing for all mankind. Psalm 103:3, Isaiah 53:3-5, 1 Peter 2:24. WE BELIEVE IN THE TOTAL SUBSTITUTIONARY SACRIFICE OF JESUS. He was made sin that we might be made righteous, He was made a curse that we might be made rich. Romans 5:16-17, 2 Corinthians 5: 21, 2 Corinthians 8: 9, Galatians 3: 13 GENDER ROLES Our belief in the immeasurable value and dignity of every person stems from being created in God’s image. This creation as male and female is essential to our identities, grounding us not only in our physical nature but also our spiritual essence. We understand gender to be a divine gift rather than a matter of personal choice or cultural construct. This view is rooted in the scriptural portrayal of human complementarity and the meaningfulness of our bodies, which together form the basis of marriage and family life as intended by God. Marriage, in our faith, is a union specifically between a man and a woman, a covenant that facilitates divine blessing through the gift of children. Our stance, while rooted in these beliefs, is shared with a spirit of compassion, aiming to engage these complex issues with grace and understanding.
