Statement of Faith
We believe in one God, revealed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
God is a Triune Being made up of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
(I John 5:7; Matthew 3:16-17)
We are saved by confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection. New birth is essential to see the Kingdom of God.
As an individual confesses the Lord Jesus Christ with his mouth and believes in his heart that God raised Him from the dead, he shall be saved. An individual must be born again to see the kingdom of God.
(Romans 10:9-10; II Corinthians 5:17-18; John 3:3-8)
Through Jesus’ sacrifice, we receive salvation, healing, deliverance, and prosperity.
Salvation, Healing, Deliverance, and Prosperity are all included in the atonement.
(I Peter 2:24; Galatians 3:13; II Corinthians 8:9; Isaiah 53:4-5)
Every believer is called to live righteously and grow daily in their walk with God.
Every believer has the responsibility to work out his/her own salvation and to endeavor to live upright and holy before the Lord.
(Romans 8:1; Philippians 2:1-2; Romans 12:1-2; II Corinthians 7:1)
The Holy Spirit empowers believers with supernatural gifts to be bold witnesses of Christ.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is given to believers to empower them to be a witness through outward evidence of supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit.
(I Corinthians 12:1-11; 14:1-25; Mark 16:14-20; Acts 1:8; 2:1-4; 19:1-6)
We believe the gifts and operations of the Holy Spirit are active and vital in the church today.
The gifts, administrations, and functions of the Holy Spirit are to be an active part of the church today.
(I Corinthians 12:1-11; John 14:12; Mark 16:14-20)
Jesus is coming again, and believers will be caught up with Him to live forever in His presence.
We believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ wherein all those living for Him will be raptured, or caught up in the air and will forever be with Him.
(I Thessalonians 4:16-17)
We believe in eternal accountability and that every person will stand before God in judgment.
Eternal Judgment
(Hebrews 6:2; II Corinthians 5:10; Romans 14:10-12; Hebrews 9:27-28; I Corinthians 3:11-15)
We embrace Spirit-led, prophetic worship as a powerful expression of our love for God.
We believe in spontaneous, prophetic praise and worship.
(Psalm 149:6; Ephesians 5:18-19; Colossians 3:16)
