We believe the Scriptures are the inspired Word of God, the revelation of God to humanity, and the final authority for faith, doctrine, and Christian living. The Bible is not merely human writing, but God-breathed truth, given by the Holy Spirit, and powerful to teach, correct, heal, restore, and lead people into salvation through Jesus Christ.

2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Psalm 119:105; Hebrews 4:12

We believe in one true and living God, the Creator of heaven and earth, the eternal “I AM.” He is not created, not an idea, not an object, and not one god among many. There is no other God beside Him. He has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one God in three Persons, worthy of all worship.

Deuteronomy 6:4; Genesis 1:1; Exodus 3:14; Isaiah 43:10–11; Matthew 28:19

We believe that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one in divine nature, eternal, holy, and equal in glory. The Son is “begotten, not made,” and the Holy Spirit is fully God, proceeding from the Father, worshiped and glorified with the Father and the Son.

John 1:1–3; John 10:30; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Colossians 2:9

We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, performed signs, wonders, and miracles, and still works by His power today. Through His death on the cross, He purchased our redemption by His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day, ascended into heaven, and now sits at the right hand of the Father, interceding for us.

Matthew 1:18–23; John 1:14; Acts 10:38; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Romans 8:34

We believe humanity was created in the image of God, but through sin, mankind fell under the curse of sin and death. All people are born with a fallen nature, separated from God, and in need of redemption. Salvation is found only through Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. Through repentance and faith in His blood, the believer is forgiven, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, justified by grace through faith, and made an heir with Christ.

Genesis 1:26–27; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; John 14:6; Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:5–7; Romans 8:16–17

We believe in the imminent, bodily return of Jesus Christ. He is coming for a Church that is ready, pure, watchful, faithful, and active in the work of the gospel. This includes the rapture of the Church, the blessed hope of all believers. The return of Christ should place a fire in the hearts of believers to preach the gospel while there is still time.

John 14:2–3; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Titus 2:13; Matthew 24:44

We believe the Church is the body of Christ, made up of all true believers who have been born of the Spirit. The Spirit of God dwells in the Church, and Christ has appointed the Church to fulfill the Great Commission. The Church is the general assembly and church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven, called to worship, discipleship, fellowship, and the preaching of the gospel to all nations.

Matthew 28:18–20; 1 Corinthians 12:27; Ephesians 1:22–23; Hebrews 12:23; Acts 2:42–47

We believe Jesus Christ will return with His Church and will rule and reign in righteousness. Every kingdom of this world will come under the authority of Christ, and His reign will reveal His justice, holiness, power, and glory. Believers will share in His victory and reign with Him according to the promise of Scripture.

Revelation 19:11–16; Revelation 20:4–6; 2 Timothy 2:12; Revelation 11:15

We believe all believers should expect and earnestly desire the promised gift of the Father, which is the baptism in the Holy Spirit. We believe speaking in tongues is the initial physical evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. This experience was normal in the early Church and should be normal today. The Holy Spirit gives believers power to witness, boldness to preach, and gifts for ministry.

Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1–4; Acts 10:44–46; Acts 19:1–6; 1 Corinthians 12:7–11

We believe sanctification is separation from sin, evil, and the spirit of this world, and a drawing closer to God. Holiness is essential in the Christian life. Through the Word of God, prayer, obedience, and the power of the Holy Spirit, every believer should grow daily to become more like Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 4:3; Hebrews 12:14; Romans 12:1–2; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Galatians 5:16

We believe divine healing is provided through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Forgiveness of sins and healing are both revealed in the atonement. Jesus healed the sick during His earthly ministry, and He still heals today by His power. Divine healing is a gift of God’s grace and should be believed, preached, and received by faith.

Isaiah 53:4–5; Matthew 8:16–17; Acts 10:38; James 5:14–16; 1 Peter 2:24

We believe every person will stand before God and give an account for their life. Those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ will receive eternal life, but those who reject Christ will face eternal separation from God. The final judgment will be righteous and complete, and all who reject Christ will be cast into the lake of fire. Therefore, the gospel must be preached with urgency, love, and truth.

Hebrews 9:27; 2 Corinthians 5:10; John 3:16–18; Revelation 20:11–15; Matthew 25:46
