BELIEFS

HOLY BIBLE
The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the  final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible and  inerrant
​(2Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26). 

TRINITY
​
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and co-eternal.
(I John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-11).

JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was  100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a  virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our  sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the  Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory
​(John  1:1,14, 20:28; 1Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; Philippians 2:5-6; 1Timothy 2:5)

VIRGIN BIRTH
Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father, through the Holy Spirit (the third  person of the Trinity) in the virgin Mary's womb; therefore, He is the Son of God
​(Matthew 1:18, 25;  Luke 1:35; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18, 23-25; Luke 1:27-35).

REDEMPTION
Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression he fell; his only  hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God
​(Gen.1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21).

REGENERATION
For anyone to know God, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential
​  (John 6:44, 65).

SALVATION
We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ; His death, burial, and  resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts 
​(Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews 9:22).

REPENTANCE
Repentance is the commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to follow Christ, which allows us to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Thus, through repentance we receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation
(Acts 2:21, 3:19; 1  John 1:9)

SANCTIFICATION
Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God's Word and His Spirit in order to complete the development of Christ's character in us. It is through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
(1Thessalonians 4:3,  5:23; 2 Corinthians 3:18, 6:14-18, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, Romans 8:29, 12:1-2, Hebrews 2:11).

JESUS' BLOOD​
The Blood that Jesus Christ shed on the Cross of Calvary was sinless and is 100% sufficient to cleanse mankind of all sin. Jesus allowed Himself to be punished for both our sinfulness  and our sins, enabling all those who believe to be free from the penalty of sin, which is death
(1 John 1:7; Revelation 1:5, 5:9; Colossians 1:20; Romans 3:10-12, 23, 5:9; John 1:29).

HOLY SPIRIT
Given at Pentecost, it is the promise of the Father, sent by Jesus  after His Ascension, to empower the church to preach the Gospel throughout the whole earth. The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of  the Gospel. The Bible lists of these gifts are not necessarily exhaustive, and the gifts may occur in  various combinations. All believers are commanded to earnestly desire the manifestation of the gifts in  their lives. These gifts always operate in harmony with the Scriptures and should never be used in  violation of Biblical parameters.
 (Joel  2:28-29; Matthew 3:11; Mark 16:17; Acts 1:5, 2:1-4, 17, 38-39, 8:14-17, 10:38, 44-47, 11:15-17,  19:1-6, Hebrews 2:4; Romans 1:11, 12 :4-8; Ephesians 4:16; 2 Timothy 1:5- 
16, 4:14; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, 14:1-40; 1 Peter 4:10).

THE CHURCH
The church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with  divine appointments for the fulfillment of Jesus' great commission. Every person who is born of the  Spirit is an integral part of the church as a member of the body of believers. There is a spiritual unity  of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ
​ (Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23; John 17:11, 20-23).

THE FAMILY
We believe the Family is ordained by God and is the foundational institution of  human society. It is composed of person related to one another by marriage, blood or adoption. Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. It is God’s  unique gift to reveal the union between Christ and His church and to provide for the man and the  woman in marriage the framework for intimate companionship, the channel of sexual expression  according to biblical standards, and the means for procreation of the human race.  Children, from the moment of conception, are a blessing and heritage from the Lord. Parents are to  demonstrate to their children God’s pattern for marriage. Parents are to teach their children spiritual and moral values and to lead them, through consistent lifestyle example and loving discipline, to make  choices based on biblical truth. Children are to honor and obey their parents.

TWO SACRAMENTS
Water Baptism: Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word  of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit  (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38).  
The Lord's Supper: A unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread  and grape juice (the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus'  sacrifice on the Cross
(Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 16:16; Acts 8:12, 36-38; 10:47-48; 1Corinthians  10:16, 11:23-25).

HEALING OF THE SICK
Healing of the sick is illustrated in the life and ministry of Jesus, and  included in the commission of Jesus to His disciples. It is given as a sign which is to follow believers.  It is also a part of Jesus' work on the Cross and one of the gifts of the Spirit.
​ (Psalm 103:2-3; Isaiah  53:5; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:17-18; Acts 8:6-7; James 5:14-16; 1 Corinthians 12:9, 28; Romans  11:29)

RESURECTION
Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead in a glorified body three  days after His death on the cross. In addition, both the saved and the lost will be resurrected; they that  are saved to the resurrection of life and they that are lost to the resurrection of eternal damnation.
​ (Luke  24:16, 36, 39; John 2:19-21, 20:26-28, 21:4; Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15:42, 44; Philippians 1:21- 23, 3:21).

HEAVEN
Heaven is the eternal dwelling place for all believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
(Matthew 5:3, 12, 20, 6:20, 19:21, 25:34; John 17:24; 2 Corinthians 5:1; Hebrews 11:16; 1 Peter 1:4)

HELL
After living one life on earth, the unbelievers will be judged by God and sent to Hell where they will be eternally tormented with the Devil and the Fallen Angels.
(Matthew 25:41; Mark 9:43-48;  Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 14:9-11, 20:12-15, 21:8).

SECOND COMING
Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to  establish His Kingdom. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures.
​ (Matthew 24:30, 26:63- 64; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8; Revelation 1:7).
