The Scriptures
The Bible is the inspired Word of God. We except The New Covenant (Testament) as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine. (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21; 1 Thess. 2:13)
The Godhead
The triune Godhead is comprised of three separate and distinct persons—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit—who are eternally self-existent, self-revealed, and function as one entity. Jesus Christ, who is God manifested in the flesh, is the second member of the Godhead, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit. (John 1:1; John 1:14; John 16:28; John 1:18; John 15:26)
The Salvation of Man
We can have a personal relationship God through the shed Blood of Jesus. Therefore, we are saved by grace, through faith, not of works, it is the gift of God. (Ephesians 2:8; Romans 10:8-10)
God desires all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of truth. He is not willing that any should perish, but all should come to repentance. According to John 3:3, you must be spiritually transformed, renewed, reborn from Heaven. (1 Timothy 2:4, 2 Peter 3:9, John 3:3)
The Church
The Church is made of many members (Jews and Gentiles), but one body. We serve one God and Father, one Lord, one Spirit, one hope, one faith, one baptism. (1 Corinthians 6:19; 12:12; 2 Corinthians 6:16; Ephesians 1:22; 2:11-22; 4:4-5).
Baptism in the Holy Spirit
All believers are entitled to, and should eagerly expect and enthusiastically seek, the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and Fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:1-31).
This wonderful experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of indwelling of the Holy Spirit at the new birth and is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking with other tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance. (Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4, 38; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 19:2-8).
Blessed Hope, Resurrection of the Just, and the Return of our Lord
Jesus is coming again to gather all His Saints to Heaven. The angels said to Jesus’ disciples, “…this same Jesus…shall come in like manner as you have seen Him go into heaven.” (Romans 11:25, 27; 11 Thess. 1:7; Rev. 19:11-16; 20:1-7). After this, there shall be a new heaven and a new earth. (Revelation 21)
Human Sexuality
We believe that God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family, the basic structure of human society (Genesis 2:24). God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of the context of marriage between a man and a woman. (Genesis 19:5, 26:8-11; 5:1; 6:9; I Thess. 4:1-8; Hebrews 13:4). Hence, sexual activities such as, but not limited to, adultery, fornication, incest, homosexuality, pedophilia, and bestiality are inconsistent with the teachings of the Bible, the Church, and a Christian life. (Lev. 18:22; Lev. 20:13).
We stand fast on the scriptures in Romans 1:25-27, I Corinthians 6:9-11, and I Timothy 1:9-10 and believe that homosexuality is a sin. We determine to show compassion to all, with however, no compromise.
We believe that all persons are created in God’s image and are made to glorify Him (Genesis 1:27; Isaiah 43:7); and that God’s design was the creation of two distinct and complementary sexes, male and female (Genesis 1:27; Matthew 19:4; Mark 10:6) which designate the fundamental distinction that God has embedded in the very biology of the human race. (We welcome and invite all Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual persons to trust in Christ and to experience transformed life through faith in Jesus Christ - 1 Timothy 1:15–16)
