About Us

---

Our God is one, but manifest in three persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

being co-equal (Philippians 2:6). The Father is the sender of the Word (Logos) and the

Begetter (John 14:28, 16:28, 1:14). The Son is the Word flesh-covered, the One Begotten,

and has existed with the Father from the beginning (John 1:1,14,18). The Holy Spirit is a

divine person (John 14:15–18), sent to indwell, guide, teach, empower the believer (John

16:13; Acts 1:8), and convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment (John

16:7–11).

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to men, the infallible rule of

faith and conduct, and superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason (2

Tim. 3:15-17; 1 Pet. 1:23-25; Heb. 4:12).

Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let us make man in our image and after

our likeness.” Man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and his only hope of redemption is in

Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen. 1:26-31; Gen. 3:17; Rom. 5:12-21).

Conditions of Salvation

The Grace of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men, through the preaching of

repentance toward God and through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; man is saved by the

washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, and being justified by grace, has

become heir of God according to the hope of eternal life (Titus 2:11; 3:5-7; Rom. 10:13-15;

Luke 24:47).

The inward evidence to the believer of his salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit (Rom.

8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of holiness (1 Thess. 4:7, 2 Tim.1:9).

All believers should ardently expect and earnestly seek the Promise of the Father, which is

the baptism in the Holy Spirit. With it comes the infilling of power for life and service, and

the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:49; Acts

1:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:1-31). This experience may be distinct from and subsequent to the

experience of the New Birth (Acts 2:38; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9).

The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the

church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of the Gospel.

The Bible lists of these gifts are not necessarily exhaustive, and the gifts may occur in

various combinations. All believers are commanded to earnestly desire the manifestation of

the gifts in their lives. These gifts always operate in harmony with the Scriptures and

should never be used in violation of Biblical parameters (Hebrews 2:4; Romans 1:11, 12:4-

8; Ephesians 4:16; 2 Timothy 1:5-16, 4:14; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, 14:1-40; 1 Peter 4:10).

Healing of the sick is illustrated in the life and ministry of Jesus and included in the

commission of Jesus to His disciples. It is given as a sign that is to follow believers. It is also

a part of Jesus' work on the Cross and one of the gifts of the Spirit (Psalm 103:2-3; Isaiah

53:5; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:17-18; Acts 8:6-7; James 5:14-16; 1 Corinthians 12:9, 28;

Romans 11:29).

It is the Father's will for believers to become whole, healthy, and successful in all areas of

life. But because of the fall, many may not receive the full benefits of God's will while on

Earth. That fact, though, should never prevent all believers from seeking the full benefits of

Christ's provision in order to better serve others.

1. Spiritual (John 3:3-11; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Romans 10:9-10).

2. Mental and Emotional (2 Timothy 1:7, 2:11; Philippians 4:7-8; Romans 12:2; Isaiah

26:3).

3. Physical (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24).

4. Financial (Joshua 1:8; Malachi 3:10-11; Luke 6:38; 2 Corinthians 9:6-10;

Deuteronomy 28:1-14; Psalm 34:10, 84:11; Philippians 4:19).

The church is the holy Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine

appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer is an integral part

of the church, and their names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life (I Thess. 2:4).

Divinely called and Scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for a two-

fold purpose: (1) The evangelization of the world, and (2) The edification of the Body of

Christ (Mark 16:15, 20; Eph. 4:11-13).

God created marriage. It is a covenant made between a man and a woman that makes them

one (Gen 2: 22,24; Matt 19: 5-6). The Bible affirms marriage to be between one biological

male and one biological female and any sexual activity outside of marriage, as so defined, to

be immoral. Additionally, God created mankind as male and female with the two sexes

having distinct ontological purposes (Gen 1:27; Jer 1:5). Therefore, any actions taken to

adopt a gender incongruent with one’s biological sex is dishonoring to God.

The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation, together

with those who are alive and remain unto the Lord, is imminent and is the blessed hope of

the church (1 Thess. 4:16; Rom. 6:23; Titus 2:13; 1 Cor. 15:51,52).

Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His

Kingdom. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures (Matthew 24:30, 26:63-64;

Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8; Revelation 1:7).

The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, and whosoever is not found

written in the Lamb’s Book of Life shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake

which burns fire and brimstone, which is the second death (Rev. 19:20; 20:10-15).

We, as promised in the Scriptures, look for a new heavens and a new earth wherein

righteousness dwells (2 Pet. 3:13; Rev. 21: l).

Baptism in Water

The ordinance of baptism by burial with Christ should be observed by all who have

repented of their sins and, in their hearts, have believed on Christ as their Savior and Lord.

In doing so, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they have

also been released to walk with Him in newness of life (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4).

The Lord’s Supper (Communion)

The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements, bread and fruit of the vine, is the symbol

expressing our sharing in a memorial to His suffering and death, entering into new

covenant relationship, and a prophecy of His second coming, and is enjoined to all believers

“until He comes” (John 6:48,51,53-57; Luke 22:19,20; 2 Pet. 1:4; 1 Cor. 11:25).
