Our Mission as a Church was given to us by Christ before he ascended
to the Father. It is found in the "Great Commission". There
are two main points of this Commission that dictate everything we do;
To present the Gospel of Jesus Christ in such a way that is shows
non-Christians the plan of salvation and assist them into making a decision
to turn away from their sin and make a commitment to live for God;
-Evangelism converts into Disciples
-Edification of Disciples into mature, fruitful leaders
-Equipping and reaching others for Christ
-Extension and teach others for Christ
God;
We believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians
13 :14).
The Bible;
We believe the Bible is God-inspired and infallible (2 Timothy 3:16,
17).
The Fall of Man;
We believe that man and woman were created in the image of God, but
that by voluntary disobedience, fell from perfection (Romans 5:12).
Salvation and Forgiveness;
We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing
the pardon of all who believe in Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).
Salvation Through Grace;
We believe that we have no righteousness of our own and are able to
come to God only on the basis of the righteousness of Christ (Ephesians
2 :8).
Repentance and Acceptance;
We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance
of Christ, we are justified before God (I John 1:9).
The New Birth;
We believe that a very real change takes place in our heart and life
at the moment of salvation (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).
Daily Christian Life;
We believe that it is the will of God that we devote ourselves to
Him daily, growing constantly in the faith (Hebrews 6:1).
Baptism and Communion;
We believe that baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward
decision and transformation (Matt. 28:19). We believe in the commemoration
of the Lord's Supper by the symbolical use of the bread and juice
of the vine (1 Corinthians 11:24, 25).
Baptism of the Holy Spirit;
We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit empowers the believer
to obey God and live beyond our natural abilities; and that He fills
the believer in the same way as described in the Bible (Acts 2:4).
-The Spirit-filled Life We believe that it is the will of God that
we conduct ourselves as empowered by the Holy Spirit and instructed
by God's word (Ephesians 4:30-32).
The Gifts and Fruit of the Spirit;
We believe that the Holy Spirit bestows spiritual gifts upon the Christian;
and that the result of leading a Spirit-filled life is increasing
contentment, fulfillment, and discipline (I Corinthians 12:1-11; Galatians
5:22).
Moderation;
We believe that the experience and daily walk of the believer should
never lead him into extremes of fanaticism (Philippians 4:5).
Divine Healing;
We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the
sick in answer to the prayer of faith (James 5:14-16).
The Second Coming of Christ;
We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent
(I Thessalonians 4:16, 17).
Church Relationship;
We believe it is our benefit to identify ourselves with the physical
church of Christ (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:25).
Civil Government;
We believe that rulers should be upheld at all times except in issues
opposed to the will of God as revealed in the Bible (Romans 13 :1-5).
The Final Judgment;
We believe that all shall stand some day before the judgment seat
of God; and there receive eternal life or death (2 Corinthians 5:10).
Heaven;
We believe that heaven is the glorious eternal home of those who have
put their trust in Jesus (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-17).
Hell;
We believe that Hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject
Christ as the Savior (Revelation 20:10,15).
Evangelism;
We believe that bringing people to Jesus is the most important responsibility
of the Church (James 5 :20).
Tithes and Offering;
We believe that the method prescribed by God for the support and spread
of His cause is by giving of tithes and offerings (Malachi 3:10; 2
Corinthians 9:7).
