One True God

God has revealed Himself as the Creator of allthings and the Redeemer of mankind. He is manifested as the Triune God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, Isaiah 43:11; and Matthew 28:19)

Scriptures Inspired

The Old and New Testament are inspired Word of God. In them we find the final authority for all Christian faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:15-17)

Deity of Jesus Christ

The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God who shares in the deity of God. He is also truly man who was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for sin and arose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is now at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Advocate. (Matthew 1:23)

Original Sin and Fall of Man

Man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost (Genesis 1-3). Only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and by His resurrection can man have grounds for justification and salvation. This salvation and spiritual life are obtained by regeneration through the work of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 3:23-26)

Salvation by Faith

Man’s salvation and redemption (a free gift of grace from God) can anly be obtained by exercising faith, not by works, and by the finished redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

The New Man in Christ

If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature (creation) in the inward man. We are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus. We are partakers of His divine nature. (2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:10; and 2 Peter 1:4)

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

The ministry and baptism of the Holy Spirit are to glorify Jesus Christ and to indwell, guide, and empower believers for life and service. This baptism brings the gifts or enablements of the Holy Spirit and their uses to the forefront of the ministry of the body of Christ. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth and is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance. (Acts 2:1-4)

Divine Healing

The anointing work of Jesus Christ provides not only salvation but healing and prosperity for all believers. (Matthew 8:16 & 17)

Church – The Body of Christ

The true church is the composition of all those who have been born again. Through the new birth, believers are united together as the Body of Christ. Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church. (Ephesians 1:22 & 23)

Water Baptism

All who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and have been born again are commanded to be immersed in water as a declaration that they identify with the death of Christ and have been raised with Him in newness of life. (Mark 16:16)

Lord’s Supper

The Lord’s Supper, or Communion, is a symbolic expression of our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ as well as a memorial of His suffering, death, and prophecy of His second coming. (1Corinthians 11:23-31)

The Blessed Hope

The blessed hope of the church is the resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation (catching away to Heaven) together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Romans 11:27; Titus 2:13)

The Final Judgment

There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever’s name is not found written in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire which is the second death. (Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:43-48; Revelation 19:20; 20:11-15; 21:8)

ORDINANCES

The ordinance of baptism by immersion in water shall be administered to those who have repented of sin, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and who give clear evidence of their salvation. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-5)

The ordinance of the Lord’s Supper shall be observed regularly as enjoined in the scriptures. (Luke 22:19, 20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

PRACTICES

Dedication of Children

This is a pubic commitment, before the Church, stating that parents will raised their child (children) in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. At this time, the Pastor, along with the congregation, will pray for the child (children) and family (1 Samuel 1:24-28) thereby signifying dedication to God and support from the congregation.

Christian Marriage

This is joining together in holy matrimony of a man and woman that have been born again through Jesus Christ and who declare His Lordship over their lives and marriage. (John 3:3-8; Romans 10:9,10; Colossians 1:15-18)

Christian Funeral

This ministry involves funeral and memorial services presenting the truth of Jesus Christ and the gift of salvation and eternal life through Him. It is a time to minister the comfort and love of God, as well as the blessed hope in Jesus Christ our Lord (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 5:9-10; 1 John 4:7-11) to the surviving family and friends.

Prayer For The Sick

This ministry believes that the prayer of faith heals the sick (James 5:14-15; Mark 16:18b) and we, therefore, administer this to all that desire healing.
