We believe the only true basis of
Christian fellowship is Christ's Agape love, which is greater than
any differences we possess and without which we have no right to
claim ourselves Christians.
We believe worship of God should be
spiritual. Therefore, we remain flexible and yielded to the
leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship.
We believe worship of God should be
inspirational. Therefore, we give great place to music in our
worship.
We believe worship of God should be
intelligent. Therefore, our services are designed with great
emphasis upon the teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct
us how He should be worshipped.
We believe worship of God should be
fruitful. Therefore, we look for His love in our lives as the
supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshipping Him.
We believe in all the basic doctrines of
historic Christianity.
We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture,
that the Bible, Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible
Word of God.
We believe that God is eternally existent
in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that God is the personal,
transcendent, and sovereign Creator of all things.
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God
and fully human, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life,
provided for the atonement of our sins by His substitutionary death
on the cross, was bodily raised from the dead, ascended back to the
right hand of the Father, and ever lives to make intercession for
us.
We believe in the personal, visible, and
pre-millennial second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth. He will
return with His saints and set up a kingdom of which there will be
no end.
After Jesus ascended to Heaven, He poured
out His Holy Spirit on the believers in Jerusalem, enabling them to
fulfill His command to preach the Gospel to the entire world, an
obligation shared by all believers today.
We believe that all people are, by nature,
separated from God and responsible for their own sin, but that
salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by
the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin and
accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him to
save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy
Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a
child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.
We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit
mentioned in the Scriptures, and that they are valid for today if
they are exercised within the scriptural guidelines. We as believers
are to covet the best gifts, seeking to exercise them in love that
the whole Body of Christ might be edified. We believe that love is
more important than the most spectacular gifts, and without this
love all exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless
