What We Believe
Our purpose is to raise up a people with integrity and character by equipping, training, and empowering them to be effective for the Kingdom of God.
· We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God.
· We believe God is one, but manifested in three persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
· We believe that all men are sinners by nature and choice and new birth is necessary to all people who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We believe that when received, it produces eternal life and salvation.
· We believe that water baptism and communion are open to all believers.
· We believe Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a gift from God promised by our Lord Jesus Christ to all believers and is subsequent to the new birth.
· We believe the Holy Spirit dwells in every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an Abiding Helper, Teacher, and Guide. We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit through the exercise of all the biblical gifts of the Spirit.
· We believe in divine healing.
· We believe the Universal Church is the Body of Christ and Jesus is the Head and all regenerated people are members.
· We believe in the laying on of hands for empowering of the Holy Spirit, for receiving of the gifts of the Spirit, for healing, and recognition and empowering those whom God has ordained to lead and serve the church.
· We believe in what is termed “The Apostle’s Creed” as embodying fundamental facts of Christian faith.
· We believe that God speaks today through the office of the prophet, prophetic teaching, prophetic presbytery, the gift of prophecy, and the spirit of prophecy.
· We believe God is restoring the five-fold ministry of the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher for the equipping of the saints.
