In this House, we believe in…

We believe in one God who has revealed Himself in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (Romans 1:20).  The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are all co-eternal, all stand equally superior to time, free from the temporal distinctions of past and future (FATHER - Deuteronomy 33:27; Psalm 90:2; Psalm 102:27; I Timothy 1:17; SON - John 1:1-2; John 8:58; Hebrews 1:8; I John 1:2; Revelation 1:8; SPIRIT - Hebrews 9:14).

We believe in the Holy Spirit, His present ministry, His indwelling, His empowering, His impartation of gifts for today and His transforming power in the lives of all believers. [I Corinthians 12:4-11, Galatians 5:22-23]

We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, who came into the world to reveal the Father, and be the express image of His person; that Jesus Christ was the Creator of everything, for by Him all things were made.  We further believe that in Christ dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily and that He was 100% God and 100% Man (John. 1:1-2 & 14; I Tim. 3:16; Acts 7:37-38).

We believe in Jesus Christ's pre-existence, incarnation, virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, substitutionary and atoning death, bodily resurrection, bodily ascension into heaven, exaltation, present rule at the right hand of God, coming personal return in power and great glory, and in His everlasting Kingdom and dominion (Acts 1:11; 3:19-21; Daniel 7:14; Revelation 20:4). 

We believe that man was created by a direct and immediate act of God (Genesis 1:26-27; 2:4). We believe that man by transgression fell from a state of righteousness and holiness in which he was first created into total spiritual depravity, a state of death in trespasses and sins in which he is held as a slave of sin and an enemy of God.  As such, he is unable to attain divine righteousness by his own efforts but must be redeemed and delivered by the power of the gospel (Romans 5:12-21; I Corinthians 15:1-4).

We believe that repentance and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ is an integral part of God’s work of justification of the believer.  Through faith in the shed blood of Christ, he or she is justified and made a partaker in the death of Christ. (Romans 5:1,9).

We believe that "it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). We further believe that the emphasis for a continuous walk in grace should be on demonstrating righteousness and purity of heart, believing in the keeping power of God, walking after the Spirit and not after the flesh, living a lifestyle that demonstrates the character, standards and convictions of Jesus Christ, and not being conformed to the world (Jude 24; Romans 8:25; Galatians 5:16-25; Romans 4:1-5; 12:1-2).

We believe that repentance is dependent upon the convicting action of the Holy Spirit in the lives of sinners and believers and their response.  The conviction of the Holy Spirit, will result in the revelation of the sinfulness of self, which should lead to godly sorrow. Godly sorrow produces repentance that causes us to turn away from sin and selfishness and to receive faith for change.  Repentance is evidenced by an earnest desire to change.  Repentance changes the way we feel and act about sin, self and God. (II Corinthians 7:10; Psalm 51; Acts 11:18; II Timothy 2:25; Romans 1:18-32; Matthew 9:12-13).

The church is God’s instrument for revealing His purpose on the Earth. We believe that the global Church (the people of God) is God’s instrument to distribute His glory on the Earth. The local Church is defined as a gathering of people meeting and experiencing God together in order to know him more and make him known. All are welcome in our Church and will be treated as family, regardless of where they are in their relationship with God. We believe in and desire to have a diverse church where “believers” and “non-believers” are welcome to seek Jesus together in a family environment.   Eph 1:22-23, 1 Peter 2:4-5, Acts 9:4-6, Eph 3:14-19, Eph 5:25-31)

We believe that the Bible is the only inspired, authoritative, living, eternally reliable Word of God equally in all parts and without error in its original manuscript, absolutely infallible, and our source of supreme revelation from God, superior to conscience and reason, though not contrary to reason; and it is therefore our infallible rule of faith and practice and necessary to our daily lives (II Timothy 3:16-17; I Peter 1:23-25; Hebrews 4:12).
