Tenets of Faith

The Bible

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is God's revelation to humanity and our guide for faith and daily living.

2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 1:23-25

The Trinity

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal, co-eternal, and one in essence.

Matthew 28:19; John 1:1-14

Salvation Through Jesus Christ

We believe that all people are separated from God because of sin and that salvation is available only through faith in Jesus Christ. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus provides forgiveness of sins and eternal life to all who believe.

Romans 3:23-24; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:9-10

Water Baptism

We believe that water baptism by immersion is an outward expression of inward faith and obedience to Christ following salvation.

Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Acts 10:47-48

The Lord's Supper

We observe Holy Communion in remembrance of Christ's sacrifice and in celebration of the New Covenant established through His blood.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26

Baptism in the Holy Spirit

We believe that all believers should seek the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, which empowers Christians for effective witness and service.

Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4

Spiritual Gifts

We believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit continue to operate today according to God's will for the edification of the Church and the advancement of the Gospel.

1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Acts 2:4

Divine Healing

We believe that healing is provided through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and that God continues to heal today according to His sovereign will.

Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 8:17; James 5:14-16

The Church

We believe the Church is the Body of Christ, called to worship God, make disciples, serve others, and proclaim the Gospel to all nations.

Ephesians 1:22-23; Matthew 28:19-20

The Blessed Hope

We believe in the personal and imminent return of Jesus Christ for His Church and the resurrection of believers.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

Final Judgment

We believe that every person will stand before God. Those who place their faith in Jesus Christ will enjoy eternal life, while those who reject Him will face eternal separation from God.

Revelation 20:11-15

Christ's Millennial Reign

We believe Jesus Christ will return to establish His kingdom and reign on earth as foretold in Scripture.

Revelation 20:1-6; Revelation 21:1-4
