♥ TO BUILD the Body of believers into one team that demonstrates the love of Christ compelling unbelievers to come and experience Jesus’ saving-grace and life-changing unconditional love.
♥ TO EDUCATE believers in how to study and apply the Word which results in devoted discipleship and faithful service in the Kingdom with a spirit of excellence.
♥ TO NURTURE those who have been called into the ministry to fulfill their calling by training, ordaining and commissioning them to go in the nations to preach, teach and reach, restore hope, mend the broken-hearted and minister deliverance to the captives.
The Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:15:17).
In the eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as One God existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (John 1:1-3, Matt. 28:19, Mark 12:29).
That salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. We believe that Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again on the third day; ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father making intercession for us.
That Christ is the Way to the Father, The Truth and the Life (Luke 1:26-35, Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, John 14:6, John 3:16.
In Christ’s personal return to this earth in power and glory to receive unto Himself His blood-bought church. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17, Acts 1:11, John 5:28-29, Revelation 20:15.
In water baptism by immersion, in doing so, we declare to the world that we have died with Christ and have also been released to walk with Him in newness of life (Matt. 28:19; Ro. 6:4).
We believe that all believers should ardently expect and earnestly seek the Promise of the Father, which is the baptism in the Holy Spirit. With it comes the infilling of power for life and service, and the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:1-31).
That Jesus ascended up into heaven and gave gifts to the church: some apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers for the perfecting of the church and for the edifying of the body of Christ. Ephesians 4:10-13.
We believe in a life that is set apart from the world and perfecting holiness in the fear of God. By the power of the Holy Spirit we strive to obey the command, “Be ye holy, for I am holy.” Sanctification is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to God’s Word (Heb. 12:14; 1 Pet. 1:14-16; 1 Thess. 5:23, 24; 1 John 2:6). Rom 12:1-2.
In the practice of observing the Lord's Supper regularly consisting of the elements, bread and fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing in a memorial to His suffering and death, and a prophecy of His second coming, and is enjoined to all believers “until He comes” (John 6:48,51,53-57; Luke 22:19,20; 2 Pet. 1:4; 1 Cor. 11:23-34).
That divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the Atonement, and is the privilege of all believers (Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:16,17; James 5:14-16).
In the resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the Church (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17; Romans 8:23; Titus 2:13; 1 Corinthians 15:51,52).
