We believe the only true
basis of Christian fellowship is Christ's Agape love, which is
greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no
right to claim ourselves Christians.
We believe
worship of God should be spiritual. Therefore, we remain
flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our
worship.
We believe
worship of God should be inspirational. Therefore, we give
great place to music in our worship.
We believe
worship of God should be intelligent. Therefore, our services
are designed with great emphasis upon the teaching of the Word of
God that He might instruct us how He should be worshipped.
We believe
worship of God should be fruitful. Therefore, we look for His
love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have truly
been worshipping Him.
We believe
in all the basic doctrines of historic Christianity.
We believe
in the inerrancy of Scripture, that the Bible, Old and New
Testaments are the inspired, infallible Word of God.
We believe
that God is eternally existent in three distinct persons: Father,
Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe
that God is the personal, transcendent, and sovereign Creator of all
things.
We believe
that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, that He was born of
a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for the atonement of our
sins by His substitutionary death on the cross, was bodily raised
from the dead, ascended back to the right hand of the Father, and
ever lives to make intercession for us.
We believe
in the personal, visible, and pre-millennial second coming of Jesus
Christ to the earth. He will return with His saints and set up a
kingdom of which there will be no end.
After Jesus ascended
to Heaven, He poured out His Holy Spirit on the believers in
Jerusalem, enabling them to fulfill His command to preach the Gospel
to the entire world, an obligation shared by all believers today.
We believe
that all people are, by nature, separated from God and responsible
for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness
are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal
Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, that person is immediately
born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are
forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend
eternity with the Lord.
We believe
in the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Scriptures, and
that they are valid for today if they are exercised within the
scriptural guidelines. We as believers are to covet the best gifts,
seeking to exercise them in love that the whole Body of Christ might
be edified. We believe that love is more important than the most
spectacular gifts, and without this love all exercise of spiritual
gifts is worthless
Write the
vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who
reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But
at the end it will speak and it will not lie." (Habakkuk
2:2-3)Focusing on the vision that God has given us, helps us
run our race with confidence and assurance that it will
come to pass.
