Our
Statement of Faith:
- The
Holy Bible – We believe the
entire Bible is the Inspired Word of God,
holy and infallible. We believe the entire
Scriptures are Revelation to mankind. We believe
the scriptures reveal the person of Jesus
Christ as the Messiah. (II Tim 3:15&16;
I Corinthians 10:11)
- The
Trinity – There is only One,
True and Living God, eternally existing in
three persons – the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah
43:10&11; Matthew 28:19)
- Jesus
Christ – Jesus was born of
a virgin, conceived by the Holy Spirit and
led a sinless life. We believe Jesus, the
Messiah, died for us, taking on Him all our
sin, and rose again. We believe Jesus is alive
today. We believe Jesus is sitting at the
right hand of His Father in heaven. (Isaiah
7:14; Luke 1:26-38)
- Second
Coming - Jesus Christ is coming again
to establish His Kingdom and judge all peoples.
(Matthew 24:30; Acts 1:9-11)
- Salvation
– It is the free gift of God’s
grace and cannot be earned by our doing good
deeds or joining a church. It is given freely
to those who trust in Jesus Christ as their
Savior, accepting His shed blood as atonement
of all their sin and are born again, becoming
a part of God’s family through the work
of the Holy Spirit. (John 3:16; Psalm
22; Isaiah 53; Hebrews 10:4-18)
- Pursue
Holiness - Every Believer should
be looking for the return of our Messiah,
Jesus Christ. We are commanded to pursue holiness
and purity in our daily walk. (Galatians
5:16-25; Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 3:1&2)
- Holy
Spirit – We believe the Word
of God and that healing is still available
through the Name of Jesus. We believe in Baptism
of the Holy Spirit, evidenced by the gifts
from God. (Psalms 103:2&3; Romans
12:6; I Corinthians 14:1-5)
- Great
Commission - We are to fulfill the
commission given us to minister to widows,
orphans and those in need. We are to be the
hands and feet of Jesus. (Matthew 25:31-46;
Isaiah 58:7-11) We are also to share
the Word of God wherever we go. (Matthew
28:18-20)
- To
the Jew First – We do not believe
the Jewish people have been set aside, therefore
we reject the teaching of ‘Replacement
Theology.’ We believe the Jewish people
are to be honored and blessed, for through
them we have been offered salvation. (Romans
11) We are commanded to bless the nation
of Israel (Genesis 13:3) and to ignore
that command will bring judgment on those
who choose not to do so. To those who choose
to bless Israel and the Jewish people, we
believe the Lord will bestow on them blessings
listed in His Word. (Deuteronomy 28:1-14)
- Commissioned
- We believe this ministry has been divinely
ordained and is scripture based. (Isaiah
43:18&19) We believe this ministry
belongs totally to the Lord, is His ministry,
and He is our provision through those whom
He calls. (Ephesians 4:1-6)
