We believe worship
of God should be spiritual.
Therefore, we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of
the Holy Spirit to direct our worship.
We believe worship of God should be
inspirational. Therefore,
we give great place to music in our worship.
We believe worship of God should be
intelligent. Therefore, our
services are designed with great emphasis upon the teaching
of the Word of God that He might instruct us how He should
be worshipped.
We believe worship of God should be
fruitful. Therefore, we
look for His love in our lives as the supreme manifestation
that we have truly been worshipping Him.
We believe in all the basic doctrines of historic
Christianity.
We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, that the Bible,
Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible Word of
God.
We believe that God is eternally existent in three distinct
persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that God is the personal, transcendent, and
sovereign Creator of all things.
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human,
that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided
for the atonement of our sins by His substitutionary death
on the cross, was bodily raised from the dead, ascended back
to the right hand of the Father, and ever lives to make
intercession for us.
We believe in the personal, visible, and pre-millennial
second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth. He will return
with His saints and set up a kingdom of which there will be
no end.
After Jesus ascended to Heaven, He poured out His Holy
Spirit on the believers in Jerusalem, enabling them to
fulfill His command to preach the Gospel to the entire
world, an obligation shared by all believers today.
We believe that all people are, by nature, separated from
God and responsible for their own sin, but that salvation,
redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin
and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord,
trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again
and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are
forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined
to spend eternity with the Lord.
We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the
Scriptures, and that they are valid for today if they are
exercised within the scriptural guidelines. We as believers
are to covet the best gifts, seeking to exercise them in
love that the whole Body of Christ might be edified. We
believe that love is more important than the most
spectacular gifts, and without this love all exercise of
spiritual gifts is worthless.
