Our mission is to change the world by bringing one heart, one soul and one family at a time to the saving knowledge of Christ.
Our vision is to help people discover who they are in Christ and what belongs to them as children of God. Also, to help people find God's plan and purpose for their individual lives and equip them into disciples of Jesus, full of faith, wisdom and the Holy Spirit
• Love is the foundation for life and is the most important characteristic of a Christian according to Mark 12:30 – 31.
• A spirit of excellence honors God and inspires people.
• Anointed teaching and discipleship is the catalyst for transformation in individuals’ lives in the church.
• Life changing spiritual transformation is best facilitated through small groups.
• Spiritual maturity is evidenced by prayer, the empowering of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.
• We believe that children are a blessing of the Lord, and the family is God’s design.
• We believe that God is a restorer and a rebuilder; therefore, we believe that people who have experienced the pain and suffering can find hope, healing, freedom and a place in ministry in the local church.
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine. (II Tim. 3:16; I Thes. 2 :13; II Pet, 1:21).
Our God is one, but manifested in three persons - Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, being co-equal, (Phil. 2:6). God the Father is greater than all, the sender of the Word (Logos) and the Begetter (John 14:28; John16:28; John 1:14). The Son is the Word flesh -covered, the Begotten, and has existed with the Father from the beginning (John 1:1; John 1:18; John 1:14). The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal (John 15:26).
Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God. But through Adam's transgression and fall, sin came into the world "... all have sinned and come short of the glory of God," and "...There is none righteous, no, not one." Jesus Christ, the Son of God was manifested to undo the work of the devil and gave His blood to redeem and restore God to man, separate from the works and the Law, and is made operative by grace man back to God. (Rom. 5:12-15; Rom. 3:10; Rom. 3:23; I John 3:8) Salvation is a gift of through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God. (Eph. 2:8-10)God to man, separate from the works and the Law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God. (Eph. 2:8-10).
Man's first step toward salvation is godly sorrow that worketh repentance. The New Birth is necessary to all men, and when experienced produces eternal life. (II Cor. 7:10; I John 5:12; John 3:3-5).
Baptism in water is by immersion, is a direct commandment of our Lord, and is for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian's identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4; Col 2:12; Acts 8:36 -39). The following recommendation regarding the water baptism; formula is adopted; to wit: "On the confession of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen."
We believe in the existence of the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Trinity (God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit.) We believe in the Holy Spirit’s interaction with man as a helper and comforter (John 14:16). We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as manifested by the fruit and the gifts of the Spirit.
The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation at Christ's return. (Heb. 12:14; I Thess. 5:23; II Pet. 3:18; II Cor. 3:18; Phil. 3:12-14; I Cor. 1:30).
Healing is for Physical illnesses of the human body and is wrought by the power of God through the prayer of faith, and by the laying on of hands. It is provided for in the atonement of Christ, and is the privilege of every member of the Church today. (Mark 16:18; James 5:14 -15; I Peter 2:24; Matt. 8:17; Is. 53: 4-5).
The angels told Jesus' disciples,"...this same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven." His coming is imminent. When He comes,"... the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air...". (Acts 1:11; I Thess. 4:16-17) Following the Tribulation, He shall return to earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and together with His saints who shall be kings and priests, He shall reign a thousands years (Rev. 20:6).
The one who physically dies in his sins without accepting Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the lake of fire and therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the gospel or repenting. The Lake of Fire is literal. The terms "Eternal" and "Everlasting:, used in describing the duration of punishment of the damned in the lake of fire, carry the same thought and meaning of endless existence as used in denoting the duration of joy and ecstasy of saints in the Presence of God ( Heb. 9:27; Rev. 19:20)
