What We BELIEVE!
The Infallibility of Scripture
All Scripture, both the Old and New Testaments, is infallible and
inspired by God. It is the supreme authority in doctrine, conduct,
pattern, and values of life. Interpretation of Scripture must be in
accordance with its context and purpose with an expectation that God
speaks through His Word to us in living power.
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit Are Available Today
Jesus Christ, the risen and ascended Lord, has promised to empower every
seeking and asking believer with the Holy Spirit, His gifts, and fruit
so that the Church might be able to carry on the supernatural ministry
of Christ in the world today.
An Emphasis on Prayer
God has ordained prayer as an essential part of bringing His Kingdom's
purposes and power into manifestation. Believing that the battles and
blessings of the Kingdom are first won and established in the Spirit
through prayer, we are devoted to an ever-growing understanding and
discipline of prayer at all levels of ministry.
An Evangelical Mission Emphasis
The ultimate purpose of the Church is to fulfill the Great Commission
of the Lord Jesus Christ through loving service and bold testimony.
The primary responsibility for carrying out the Great Commission rests
upon the local congregations in cooperation with other ministries.
We are committed to fulfilling the Great Commission
by upholding: - The baptism of converts
- The teaching and equipping of believers to become mature, obedient disciples
- Signs and wonders to confirm the Word of God
- Care for the poor and needy
- The manifestation of true unity with all believers
- The need to continually pray for the guidance and blessing of the Holy Spirit
