Our Beliefs

Our Beliefs

The sum of all our theological beliefs is Jesus Christ.

Everything we believe - all the details of our doctrine - spring from knowing God through His Son Jesus Christ. He's the reason we exist, the goal we aim for, and the explanation of life!
The Bible

We believe the Bible to be the revealed Word of God, fully and verbally inspired of God. We believe the Scriptures to be the inerrant, infallible Word of God, as found within the 66 books from Genesis to Revelation. We believe that God not only inspired every word, but that He has preserved them through the ages. (Psalm 12:6–7; II Timothy 3:15-17; I Peter 1:23-25; II Peter 1:19-21)


God

We believe in one God; Who is eternal, self-existent, infinite, and immutable. We believe He has one nature, one essence, and one substance; yet manifests Himself to man in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; I Timothy 1:17; James 1:17; I John 4:4)


The Church

We believe that the church began with the calling out of the twelve apostles by Jesus Christ and was empowered on the day of Pentecost. We believe the local church is composed of members who have been saved and baptized according to the command of Christ, and have voluntarily united together for the purposes of worship, fellowship, service, and observance of the ordinances of baptism and communion. We believe all true believers will be taken up at the rapture, just prior to the tribulation. (Matthew 16:16-18; Acts 1:15; Acts 2:41-43; Acts 11:15; Acts 20:28; I Corinthians 15: 51-58; Ephesians 1:12-14; Ephesians 5:25-30; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Timothy 3:4-15)


Jesus

We believe Jesus Christ to be the one and only Saviour of mankind. We believe Jesus Christ to be eternally God and to possess all the attributes of Deity. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was virgin-born, that He was God incarnate, and that the purposes of the incarnation were to reveal God, to redeem men, and to rule over God's kingdom. We believe Jesus Christ never relinquished any attributes of His Deity, but merely veiled them. We believe He lived a perfect, sinless life, at the end of which He was offered for all mankind as a substitutionary sacrifice for man's sin.

This sacrifice was a just payment to God for the forgiveness of sin. It was activated by His death through the shedding of His blood on the cross and was accepted by God upon His resurrection. We believe He ascended into Heaven after His resurrection to be seated at the right hand of the Father and is now waiting for the time of receiving His church at the rapture, which is followed by His return seven years later to earth to rule and reign as King for 1,000 years. (Psalm 2:7-9; Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, 43:11; Micah 5:2; Matthew 1:25; Luke 1:26-35; John 1:1, 1:3, 14, 18, 29; Romans 3:19-25; Romans 5:6-15; Philippians 2:5-11; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Timothy 2:5; I Timothy 3:16; Titus 2:10-15; Hebrews 7:26, 9:24-28; I Peter 1:19, 2:2; I John 1:3; Revelation 20:1-6)


Sin

We believe all men were born with an inherited sin nature received from our common ancestor, Adam. We believe that because of his nature, man is a sinner by choice, and he is totally incapable of reforming himself or ceasing from his sin by his own power. We believe the only hope of deliverance for man is a total change of mind concerning his sinful condition and inability to change it, and a turning to Jesus Christ as the only Saviour. We believe that only through the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ on the cross can a man be delivered from his sin. We believe that all those who reject Jesus Christ as their Saviour are already condemned to an eternity in the lake of fire. (Genesis 5:1-5; Acts 4:19; Acts 16:31; Romans 3:10-23; Romans 5:6-12; Romans 6:23; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-6; Revelation 20:11-14)


End Times

We believe in the literal interpretation of the Scriptures in their grammatical and historical context. We believe in the pre-tribulational rapture of the church saints, followed by the seven-year tribulation. We believe in the pre-millennial return of Christ to the earth and His literal rule of 1,000 years. Following this one-thousand-year reign is the Great White Throne judgment and then the new heaven and new earth. (I Corinthians 15:51-58; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Thessalonians 5:1-9; Revelation 19-22)
LIFE’S GREATEST QUESTIONS
Can I KNOW God? Can I Have a REAL Relationship with Him? Can I spend eternity with Him AFTER I DIE? Is heaven REAL? Is HELL real?
The Bible clearly teaches that you CAN KNOW GOD! You CAN have a REAL relationship with Him.
You can spend ETERNITY in HEAVEN with God!
BUT….THERE’S A PROBLEM.
The Bible also tells us that we have ALL sinned….
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)
That word “sin” means “to miss the mark.” Every person has at some point in their life deliberately disobeyed God.
SO WHAT??? I SINNED….what’s the BIG DEAL?
It is a HUGE deal….The Bible clearly tells us that there is a PENALTY for our sin. “For the wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23b)
A wage is a payment… The payment for your sin is DEATH and separation from God in a place that the Bible calls the Lake of Fire.
“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” (Revelations 20:14)
THE BOTTOM LINE….
Unless the penalty for sin is PAID, and YOUR sins are FORGIVEN…you will spend eternity in the Lake of Fire.
IS THERE GOOD NEWS HERE???
YES!!!
JESUS paid the Penalty for your sin.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
The word “commendeth” means “proved.” God proved His love for you by giving His own Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for your sins.
Jesus DIED on the cross, was BURIED and ROSE AGAIN. (I Corinthians 15:1-5) AND….He shed HIS BLOOD to forgive YOUR sins!
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:” (Colossians 1:14)
OK…so WHAT DO I DO NOW?
BELIEVE on Jesus Today…..AND….your sins will be FORGIVEN. You will be SAVED from the penalty of your sin.
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED.” (Romans 10:9)
To believe on Jesus Christ as Saviour means to believe that He died for you, paid the price for your sin, and is the ONLY way to have your sins FORGIVEN.
IF you TRULY BELIEVE that, you can express your belief on Jesus by CALLING on Him today.
“For whosoever shall CALL upon the name of the Lord SHALL BE SAVED.” (Romans 10:13)
Pray Sincerely…
“Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I believe that You died on the cross and paid the penalty for my sin. I believe that You rose from the dead three days later. I am placing my faith in You alone to forgive my sin and save me. Thank You for giving me eternal life. In Jesus’ name, AMEN.”
If you have believed in Jesus today and called on Him to save you, we would love to hear from you! Please contact us by any of the means available on this website.
