We believe in one God, who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and the Savior of all men and women who put their faith in Him alone for eternal life. We believe that those who receive new life in Christ are called to be holy in character and conduct, and can only live this way by being filled with the Lord's Spirit. We believe in the Bible and seek to establish our faith and actions on its teachings. We believe God wills for people everywhere to know Him and that the purpose of this ministry is to tell the world about Christ.

..........

  • We believe in the one living and true God, both holy and loving, eternal, unlimited in power, wisdom, and goodness, the Creator and Preserver of all things.

  • We believe the Father is the Source of all that exists, whether of matter or spirit.

  • We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God.

  • We believe in the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son, and is the same essential nature, majesty, and glory, as the Father and the Son, truly and eternally God.

  • We believe that the books of the Old and New Testaments constitute the Holy Scriptures.

  • We believe that the two great commandments which require us to love the Lord our God with all the heart, and our neighbors as ourselves, summarize the divine law as it is revealed in the Scriptures.

  • We believe that man is created in the image of God, that human sexuality reflects that image in terms of intimate love, communication, fellowship, subordination of the self to the larger whole, and fulfillment.

  • We believe that man's creation in the image of God included ability to choose between right and wrong.

  • We believe that Christ's offering of himself, once and for all, through His sufferings and meritorious death on the cross, provides the perfect redemption and atonement for the sins of the whole word, both original and actual.

  • We believe that for man to appropriate what God's prevenient grace has made possible, he must voluntarily respond in repentance and faith.

  • We believe that when man repents of his sin and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ, he in the same moment is justified, regenerated, adopted into the family of God, and assured of his salvation through the witness of the Spirit.

  • We believe that although good works cannot save us from our sins or from God's judgment, they are the fruit of faith and follow after regeneration.

  • We believe that after we have experienced regeneration, it is possible to fall into sin, for in this life there is no such height or strength of holiness from which it is impossible to fall.

  • We believe that sanctification is that work of the Holy Spirit by which the child of God is separated from sin unto God and is enabled to love God with all his heart and to walk in all His holy commandments blameless.

  • We believe that the Gift of the Spirit is the Holy Spirit himself, and He is to be desired more than the gifts of the Spirit which He in His wise counsel bestows upon individuals to enable them properly to fulfill their function as members of the body of Christ.

  • We believe that the Christian church is the entire body of believers in Jesus Christ, who is the founder and only Head of the church.

  • We believe that water baptism and the Lord's Supper are the sacraments of the church commanded by Christ and ordained as a means of grace when received through faith.

  • We believe that the certainty of the personal and imminent return of Christ inspires holy living and zeal for the evangelization of the world.

  • We believe in the bodily resurrection from the dead of all mankind--of the just unto the resurrection of life, and of the unjust into the resurrection of damnation.

  • We believe that the Scriptures reveal God as the Judge of all mankind and the acts of His judgment are based on His omniscience and eternal justice.

  • We believe that the Scriptures clearly teach that there is a conscious personal existence after death.
