Mission Statement
The Bible is the inspired
and only infallible and authoritative written Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16).
There is one God, eternally
existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19).
In the deity of our Lord
Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in
His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension
to the right hand of the Father, in His personal future return to this earth
in power and glory. (John 3:16; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 1:3-6).
In the blessed hope -
the rapture of the Church at Christ's coming (Titus 2:13).
The only means of being
cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ
(John 14:6).
Regeneration by the Holy
Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation (Titus 3:5).
In water baptism by immersion
(Matthew 28:19).
The redemptive work of
Christ on the cross provides healing of the human body in answer to believing
prayer (1 Peter 2:24).
The baptism in the Holy
Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it.
Deliverance from sickness
is provided for in the atonement and is the privilege of all believers (Isaiah
53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17).
In the sanctifying power
of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy
life (Galatians 5:16-25).
In the resurrection of
both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting
damnation (Revelation 20:11-15).
The Lord's Supper, consisting
of the elements, bread and the fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our
sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:4), a memorial
of His suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26). It is enjoined on all believers
"until He comes."
The Scriptures teach
a life of holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. By the power of
the Holy Ghost we are able to obey the command, "Be ye holy, for I am holy."
Entire sanctification is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly
pursued by walking in obedience to God's Word (Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:15-16;
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24; 1 John 2:6).
The Gifts of The Holy
Spirit: word of knowledge, wisdom, faith, healing, working of miracles, prophecy,
discernment of spirits, tongues and the interpretation of tongues are available
through the Holy Spirit and are for the Church today!
