Statement Of Faith
We uphold the following core beliefs, grounded in Scripture and central to our mission of spreading GOD'S grace, love, and mercy worldwide.
The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of GOD. Comprising the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, it is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16 to 17, 2 Peter 1:20 to 21, Psalm 119:89, John 17:17, Matthew 24:35, Isaiah 40:8, Hebrews 4:12).
The Holy Trinity
We believe in ONE GOD, eternally existent in Three Persons. GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON (JESUS CHRIST), AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT. These three are co equal and co eternal, each fully GOD, yet there is but ONE GOD (Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 45:5, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 Corinthians 8:6, John 1:1, 14, Colossians 2:9, Hebrews 1:8, Acts 5:3 to 4, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Luke 3:21 to 22).

The Deity Of JESUS CHRIST
We believe in the deity of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. HE was conceived by the HOLY SPIRIT, born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the Cross as a substitutionary atonement for our sins, was buried, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into Heaven, and will return in Power and Glory (John 1:1, 14, Colossians 2:9, Hebrews 1:8, John 20:28, Matthew 1:20 to 23, Luke 1:35, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 4:15, John 2:11, Acts 2:22, Romans 5:8, Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24 Luke 24:6 to 7, 1 Corinthians 15:3 to 4, Acts 1:9 to 11, Philippians 2:9 to 11).
Salvation
We believe that Salvation is a gift from GOD, received through faith in JESUS CHRIST alone. It is by grace through faith, not of works, that one is justified, reconciled to GOD, and granted Eternal Life (John 3:36, John 14:6, Ephesians 2:8 to 9, Titus 3:5, Romans 5:1, Romans 3:22 to 24, Acts 4:12, Romans 6:23, 2 Corinthians 5:17 to 18).
We Are Sinners Saved By GOD’S Grace
We believe every person is inherently sinful (Romans 3:23, Isaiah 64:6).

We Are Sinners Saved By GOD’S Grace
We believe every person is inherently sinful (Romans 3:23, Isaiah 64:6).
The HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the present ministry of the HOLY SPIRIT, WHO indwells every believer, empowering them to live a godly life, guiding them into all truth, and equipping them for service and witness (John 14:16 to 17, Acts 5:3 to 4, Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Acts 1:8, John 16:13, 1 Corinthians 2:10 to12, 1 Corinthians 12:4 to 7, Ephesians 4:11 to 13).
Baptism
We believe in water baptism by immersion, and in the baptism in the HOLY SPIRIT (Matthew 3:16, Matthew 28:19 to 20, Acts 2:38, Acts 8:36 to 38, Romans 6:3 to 4, Colossians 2:12, Acts 1:4 to 5, Acts 1:8, Luke 24:49, Acts 2:1 to 4, Acts 8:14 to 17, Acts 10:44 to 46, Acts 19:1 to 6).
Repentance And Spiritual Cleansing
We believe in the present ministry and the Sanctifying Power of the HOLY SPIRIT by whose indwelling the follower of JESUS CHRIST is enabled to live a godly or holy life. The only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the Precious Blood of JESUS CHRIST. True faith is always accompanied by repentance and regeneration by the HOLY SPIRIT (Acts 3:19, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Luke 5:31 to 32, Romans 2:4, 2 Peter 3:9, 1 John 1:9, Psalm 51:2, Psalm 51:10, Ezekiel 36:25 to 27, Titus 3:5, Hebrews 10:22).
The Return of JESUS CHRIST
We believe in the personal, visible return of JESUS CHRIST to Earth in Power and Glory. HE will judge the living and the dead, establishing HIS Eternal Kingdom (Matthew 24:30, Acts 1:10 to 11, Revelation 1:7, 2 Timothy 4:1, Matthew 25:31 to 32, Romans 14:10 to 12, Revelation 11:15, Daniel 7:13 to 14, Isaiah 9:7).
The Church
We believe in the universal Church, the Body of CHRIST, composed of all believers worldwide. The Church is called to worship GOD, edify believers, and evangelize the World. We affirm the importance of fellowship, discipleship, and service within the local congregation (Philippians 2:1 to 4, Ephesians 1:22 to 23, 1 Corinthians 12:12 to 13, Colossians 1:18, Acts 2:42, Matthew 28:19 to 20, Ephesians 4:11 to 13, Romans 12:4 to 5, Hebrews 10:24 to 25).
Resurrection
We believe in the Resurrection of both the saved and the lost. The unsaved will be resurrected to eternal punishment and the saved will be resurrected to Eternal Life with GOD (1 Corinthians 15:20 to 23, John 11:25 to 26, 1 Thessalonians 4:16 to 17, 1 Corinthians 15:51 to 52, Philippians 3:20 to 21, 1 Corinthians 15:42 to 44, Romans 8:11, 1 Corinthians 15:54 to 55, John 5:28 to 29, Daniel 12:2, 1 Thessalonians 4:16, Philippians 3:20 to 21, 1 Corinthians 15:52, Acts 24:15, Revelation 20:11 to 15, Matthew 25:46).

Eternal Destiny
We believe in the eternal destiny of all individuals. Those who have accepted JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR will spend Eternity with GOD in Heaven, while those who have not will be eternally separated from GOD (John 3:16, John 5:24, Revelation 21:3 to 4, Philippians 3:20 to 21, 2 Thessalonians 1:8 to 9, Matthew 25:46, John 3:36).
