Statement of Faith

Our statement of faith is the core foundation of our ministry organization. We believe:

1. That the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are the sovereign and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
2. In one God, who created all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit.
3. That Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, fully human and fully God. He died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. He then arose from the dead, ascended into Heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father, where He is our High Priest and Advocate.
4. That God created man in His own image, but man chose to sin and is, therefore, lost and separated from God. And, we believe that, because Jesus died on the cross for our sins according to the Scriptures, all who believe in Him are justified by His blood which He shed on the cross.
5. That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus Christ, to convict, baptize, fill, anoint, empower, regenerate, guide, comfort, teach and impart spiritual gifts to the believer for Godly living, service and witness.
6. That all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and who, by faith, receive Him into their hearts and lives are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
7. That the true Church is composed of all persons who have been saved through faith in Jesus Christ and who have been revived by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ, of which He is the Head.
8. In the personal and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in the bodily resurrection of the unjust and just. The unjust will be eternally separated from the presence of God, but the just will live and reign with Him eternally.
9. That Jesus commanded all believers to proclaim His gospel message throughout the world and to make disciples of all nations. He also commanded us to be salt and light, demonstrating compassion for the hurts and needs of His image-bearers.
10. That because God first forgave us and made a way for us to be reconciled to Him, and because of the insurmountable power of His shed blood, we are also able, through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, to forgive one another and to experience reconciliation, restoration and healing after brokenness.
11. That God delights in us as His creation, that He has purpose for our lives and that He offers us a great exchange: beauty for ashes, blessing instead of mourning, praise instead of despair, life for death. And that through His exchange, we can live in the fullness of His freedom.
12. That our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. We believe that He has overcome the enemy, Satan, and because we are His children, we are seated with Him in the heavenlies and can overcome him (Satan), through the name of Jesus and by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.
