What We Believe

The Bible

It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because of historical, literary, archeological and experiential evidence, we hold that the sixty-six books of the Bible are inspired by God, without error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.

God

God is an Eternal and Personal Being and the only true God. He is all powerful, all knowing, and is present everywhere at all times. He exists as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Scripture References: Deuteronomy 6:4; Exodus 3:14; Psalm 8:4; John 8:58; John 10:30; John 14:16, 17; Genesis 1:2, 26

Jesus

Jesus is God’s only Son. He was born of the virgin Mary to become a perfect sacrifice for the sins of mankind by His death on the cross and presently lives in heaven at the right hand of God.
Scripture References: John 1:1, 14; Hebrews 4:15; 1 John 4:10

Man

God created man in His image. Man has a body, soul and spirit and exists to fellowship with God and govern His creation.
Scripture References: 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Revelation 3:20; Genesis 1:26

Angels

Angels are spirit beings created by God for the purpose of serving in His kingdom.
• Fallen angels are those spirit beings who followed Satan in rebellion against God and presently work for the destruction of God’s kingdom.
• Holy angels are those spirit beings who remained in God’s service and presently work for the advancement of God’s kingdom.
Scripture References: (Fallen angels); John 10:10, 12; Ephesians 6:10-12; Revelation 12:9, 10, 12 (Holy Angels); Hebrews 1:14

Salvation

Eternal life is God’s free gift to anyone who trusts Christ’s death on the cross as payment for the sins that separate him from God. Jesus Christ died on the cross as the full sin payment for mankind. Salvation occurs when people believe in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.
Scripture References: John 3:16; Romans 3:26; Romans 6:23; Romans 5:8; Colossians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4; Romans 8:16

The Church

God’s church is expressed on earth through local tribes of believers who exist to reach unbelievers with the good news of Jesus Christ and help them become fully devoted followers of Jesus.
Scripture References: Matthew 28:19, 20; Acts 1:8

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God living in every believer to commune with him, lead him, produce Godly character, impart spiritual gifts and empower him for service in the local church community.
Scripture References: Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:22, 23; 1 Corinthians 12:4

Things to Come

Jesus will soon physically return to establish His earthly kingdom, reward His faithful followers and condemn unbelievers to eternal separation from God. Thus, believers seek to bring His Kingdom Now AND look forward to His future coming.
Scripture References: John 14:3; 1 Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 5:10; 2 Timothy 2:12; 1 Corinthians 3:14; Revelation 20:15
