"Equipping people to demonstrate
the power of God through love, innovation, purity and praise in an atmosphere
of faith and excellence."
WHAT WE BELIEVE
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of
God, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin. His substitutionary
death for all men, His resurrection, and His eventual return to judge
the world.
SALVATION
We believe all men are born with a sinful nature and that the work
of the cross was to redeem man from the power of sin. We believe
that this salvation is available to all who will receive it.
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the existence of the Holy Spirit as the third person
of the Trinity and in His interaction with man. We believe in the
baptism of the Holy Spirit and in the present manifestations of the
fruit and the gifts of the Spirit.
THE SACRED SCRIPTURE
We believe in the scripture as the inspired Word of God and that it
is the complete revelation of God's will for mankind. We believe
in the absolute authority of the scripture to govern the affairs
of men.
STEWARDSHIP
We believe that every man is the steward of his life and resources
which ultimately belong to God. We believe that tithing is a measure
of obedience to the scriptural principles of stewardship and also
a measure of evidence of the believer's submission to the Lordship
of Christ.
MINISTRY TO THE POOR
We believe in giving alms, caring for the poor, sick, homeless, and
otherwise unfortunate.
THE CHURCH
We believe in the church as the eternal and universal Body of Christ
consisting of all those who have accepted the work of the atonement.
We believe in the need for a local assembly of believers for the
purpose of evangelism and edification.
DIVINE HEALING
We believe in supernatural healing through faith in the Name of Jesus
Christ and that physical healing is included in God's redemptive
purpose for mankind.
PRAYER AND PRAISE
We believe in the worship of the Lord through singing, clapping and
the lifting of hands. We believe in the authority of the believer
to ask freely of the Lord for his needs.
BODY MINISTRY
We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit to the church body through
the laying on of hands and the anointing of oil by the elders of
the church.
EVANGELISM
We believe that evangelism is the obligation of every follower of Jesus
Christ. The Lord commands us to go out and make disciples of all
the earth. We believe that each person is also responsible to evangelism
in their own family as the Holy Spirit leads them and gives them
the ability.
WATER BAPTISM
We believe in the ordinance of water baptism by immersion in obedience
to the Word of God. All those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their
personal savior should be baptized in water as a public profession
of their faith in Christ and to experience what the Bible calls the "circumcision
of the Spirit."
OUR COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL
We believe in the promise of Genesis 12:3 regarding the Jewish people
and the nation of Israel. We believe that this is an eternal covenant
between God and the seed of Abraham to which God is faithful.
THE PRIESTHOOD OF THE BELIEVER
We believe that every believer has a unique relationship to the Lord.
As His children, every Christian has immediate access to the throne
of Grace and the ability to manifest the power of the Lord Jesus
Christ in ministry.
