OUR VISION
Is to see the House of God established again as a landmark in the community
A place where lives are restored, marriages healed, and children taught about their Heavenly Father
An Oasis in a Dry Land
A place where ministry is meaningful and the work of the Lord is joined by the hearts and hands of good men and women
Where integrity and genuine love is evident
A Light in a Dark World
Above all, a place that raises the banner of Jesus Christ, where the Holy Spirit is powerful and alive, and the glory of the LORD fills the temple.
A City On a Hill
What We Believe
THE BIBLE
We believe in the complete verbal inspiration of the accepted canon of Scriptures as originally given. The Scriptures are infallible, inerrant, and the sole and final authority for all matters of faith and conduct. (II Timothy 3:16; 1 Corinthians 2:13).
THE TRINITY
We believe in the Eternal Godhead, who has revealed Himself as One God existing in Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, all distinguishable but indivisible. (Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14).
Man
We believe in man's creation, test, and fall, as recorded in Genesis, as well as his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain Divine righteousness (Romans 5:12, 18).
The Son
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and very man. (Luke 1:26-35; John 1:4-18; Isaiah 7:14;9:6).
The Resurrection
We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again on the third day, and personally appeared unto His disciples. (I Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 4:25). We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus into heaven, in His exaltation, and in His personal, literal, and bodily coming again a second time for His Church. (John 14:2-3; I Thes.4:13-18).
Baptism
We believe in the importance of water baptism by immersion, in the Name of the Eternal Godhead in order to fulfill the command of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:34-36; 19:1-6).
Gifts
We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in I Corinthians 12-14, as manifested in the Early Church.
Salvation
We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary, by which we obtain remission of sins. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12,22; Romans 5:11).
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a real experience at or subsequent to salvation, with the Scriptural evidence, namely, speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17; 10:44-46; Galatians 3:14-15).
Set Apart
We believe in the Spirit-filled life, a life of separation from the world and perfecting of holiness in the fear of God, expressing the true Christian faith. (Ephesians 5:18; II Corinthians 6:14; 7:1).
Communion
We believe in the table of the Lord, commonly called communion or the Lord’s Supper, for believers. (I Corinthians 11:28-32; Matthew 26:26-28).
Eternity
We believe in the reality and personality of the devil and in eternal judgment in the lake of fire for the devil and his angels. To be eternally united with God is Heaven and to be separated from God is hell. (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20;14-15). We believe in eternal life for the believers (John 3:16; 5:24), and eternal punishment for the unbelievers (Mark 9:43-48; II Thes. 1:8-9; Revelation 20:10-15).
The Church
We believe there is one true universal church made up of genuine believers, and this one universal church is composed of many local churches in given localities. These churches are under the sovereign Headship of the Lord Jesus Christ, exercising autonomous government under Him, administering all its local affairs and ministry, as well as the propagation of the Gospel. (Acts 15:22, Matthew 16:18; 18:15-20).
