Our Vision Statement:

A place where the sinner can find full salvation, the backslider can be restored, and the sick healed. A safe place to be transformed, encouraged, and challenged with plenty of room to let your roots grow deep.

The Church shall accept the Holy Scriptures as the revealed Will of God, the all-sufficient rule for faith and practice, and for the purpose of maintaining general unity of the Church. The Church adopts the following:

STATEMENT OF FAITH

1. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES – We believe that the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are inspired 

The Church shall accept the Holy Scriptures as the revealed Will of God, the all-sufficient rule for faith and practice, and for the purpose of maintaining general unity of the Church. The Church adopts the following:

STATEMENT OF FAITH

1. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES – We believe that the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man; the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.

2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21

2. THE GODHEAD – We believe in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, three persons in one, as revealed at the baptism of Jesus when the Father spoke from heaven and the Spirit descended upon the Son in the form of a dove; “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17) and “…baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” (Mathew 28:19)

3. DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST – We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God as declared in the following scriptures:

· His virgin birth 

Matthew 1:23; Luke 1: 31,35

· His sinless life  

Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 2:22

· His miracles 

Acts 2:22; Acts 10:38

· His substitutionary work on the cross 

1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21

· His bodily resurrection from the dead

Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; 1 Corinthians 15:4

· His exaltation to the right hand of God

Acts 1:9,11; Acts 2:33; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1:3

4. FALL OF MAN – Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God. 

Genesis 1:26-27; 2:17; 3:6; Romans 5:12-19

5. SALVATION OF MAN – Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

a) Conditions to Salvation: Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. Through the “washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, being justified by grace through faith, man became an heir of God according to the hope of eternal life.” 

Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romans 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8; 

Titus 2:11, 3:5

b) Evidence of Salvation: The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is the life of righteousness and true holiness. (Ephesians 4:24; Titus 2:1-2).

6. THE ORDINANCES OF THE CHURCH – 

a) Baptism in water: The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded in the Scriptures. All who repent and believe in Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. Thus, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life.

Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47 Romans6:4; 

1 Peter 3:21

b) Holy Communion: The Lord’s Supper consisting of the elements of bread and the fruit of the vine, are the symbol expressing our sharing in the Divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:4), a memorial of His suffering and death, and a prophecy of His second coming (1 Corinthians 11:26). This is enjoined on all believers “until He comes”.

7. THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – While Jesus was still on earth, He promised that though He would have to return to His Father, He would not leave us as orphans here on earth, but His Father would send us a Comforter, the Holy Spirit, to live in us.  John 14:16-26 

a) Promise of the Holy Spirit: “For the promise is unto you and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” 

Acts 2:39 

b) Fruit of the Holy Spirit: The most important work of the Holy Spirit in the Christian’s life is the manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.” 

Galatians 5:22-23 

c) Baptism of the Holy Spirit: Being empowered by the Holy Spirit for witness and evidenced by tongues. 

Acts 2:3-4; Acts 10:44-47; Acts 19: 5-6 

d) Gifts of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit endows those within the body of Christ with nine gifts. The gifts are manifestations of the Spirit and are for the edification and upbuilding of the church. 

1 Corinthians 12:7-11

8. SANCTIFICATION – Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God. (Romans 12:1-2) The Scriptures teach that without a life of holiness “no man shall see the Lord.” (Hebrews 12:14). By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are able to obey the command: “Be ye holy for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:15-16). Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by faith reckoning daily upon the fact of the union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit. 

Romans 6:1-13, 8:1-2,13; Galatians 2:20; Philippians 2:12-13; 

1 Peter 1:5

9. DIVINE HEALING – 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; 1 Corinthians 12:9

10. RETURN OF CHRIST – We believe in the visible, personal, and pre-millennial return of Jesus Christ and the “catching up of the Body of Christ to meet the Lord in the air."

Zechariah 14:4-5; Matthew 24:27,30; Acts 1:10-11; 

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

11. THE FINAL JUDGMENT – We believe in the everlasting conscious blessedness of the saved and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost. 

Luke 16:19-31; Matthew 25:46; Romans 14:12; John 5:29; Revelation 6:9-11; 7:9-10; 20:11-15; 22:1-5
