OUR BELIEFS
-
About the Bible
The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and perfectly preserved Word of God. It is true in all that it teaches. Being the faultless Word of God, it serves as our sole authority for our beliefs and actions (2 Tim. 3: 5-17).
-
About God and Jesus
There is only one God. The One God has revealed Himself to us as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Spirit. Jesus Chrst is the Son of God, that is, the One God manifested in and through an authentic human life. The fullness of the godhead dwells in Jesus bodily. To se Jesus is to see God (Deut. 6:4; John 14:9; Eph. 4:4-6; Col. 2:9; 1 Tim 3:16).
-
About Sin and Salvation
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Rom. 3:23-25; Rom. 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9).
-
About the Gospel
The Gospel is the good news that Jesus lived a flawless life, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again three days later. We demonstrate our belief in the gospel through our adherence to the gospel. We obey the gospel and apply it to our lives by repenting of our sins (death to sin), being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection) with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues. This threefold experience is the consistent pattern of conversion in the early church (1 Cor 15:1-4; 2 Thes 1:8; 1 Pet 4:17; Mark 1:15; Acts 15:7; Rom 6:3-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; 8:9-17; 10:1-48; 19:1-7).

About Christian Living
As followers of Christ, we are to love God and love others. We are to worship God joyfully and strive to lead a life that is pleasing to him both inwardly and outwardly—in our thoughts, words, and actions. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live in a manner that is pleasing to God. As a Pentecostal church, we believe that the supernatural gifts of the Spirit are at work in and for the church today and are available to all Spirit-filled believers (Mark 12:28-31; 1 Cor 12:8-10; 2 Cor 7:1; Rom 8:13-14; Gal 5:19-26; Heb 12:14).
-
About the Future
Jesus Christ will return to rapture his church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life in heaven with Jesus Christ, and the unrighteous eternal death. (1 Thes 4:16-17; Rev 20:11-15).
