What We Belief

 

Grace is the undeserved favor and blessings of Almighty God on His fallen creation. The grace of God is woven through the entire narrative of the Bible, from Adam and Eve, to the Children of Israel, to the redeeming blood of our Savior, to the hope of heaven.  Grace is love for the unlovable, that reaches and bends and rescues. Deliverance for the bound, from addiction, enemies, and diseases. Forgiveness for the undeserving, that washes, cleanses, and makes new.  Salvation for the sinner, that gives freedom and a blessed hope.

We believe in the great commission and are passionate about sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with love, mercy and compassion.

We believe in One eternally existing God who created all things and by whom all things exist. God has revealed Himself to us as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit, with distinct attributes but without division of nature, essence, or being. Jesus Christ is God displayed in flesh. He is both God and man.

(Deuteronomy 6:4; John 1:1-14; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Genesis 1:26; Matthew
3:16-17, 28:19; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; 1 Timothy 3:16)


We believe in water baptism by immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sin.  Through baptism, we identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

(Romans 6:3-6; Colossians 2:11-14; Acts 2:38)

We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in other tongues.

(Acts 2:4)

We believe in the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He ministers to His people through tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy; words of knowledge and wisdom, discerning of spirits, faith, working of miracles, healing, helps and government.

(Mark 16:15-18; Acts 5:16; 2 Corinthians 12:1-11)

We believe in Divine healing. James 5:14-15 presents God’s plan for divine healing: “Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up.”  Laying on of hands and anointing with oil usually accompany prayer for healing, in accordance with God’s Word and to focus faith. Through God’s power, Stephen, Peter (Acts 9:36-42), Paul (Acts 19:11-12), and Phillip (Acts 6:8; 8:7) performed many miracles of healing. Acts 5:16 states, “There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
