Mission Statement 

Our mission is to restore the foundations of apostolic truth and experience in the life of the church.  To release the supernatural power of God through salvation, healing, deliverance, and prophetic ministry.  To equip the believer to operate in fullness of their gifts and calling, and to prepare the bride of Christ to meet the bridegroom, the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Statement of Beliefs

  1. The Holy Scriptures:  We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God.  It contains the completed cannon of scripture.  2 Timothy 3:16
  2. The Eternal Godhead:  We believe God is triune, and exists as three co-equal persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.  2 Corinthians 13:14
  3. The Fall of Man:  We believe man was created in the image of God.  \But, by willful disobedience, sinned against God, separating himself and all future generations from God.  Romans 5:12
  4. The Plan of Salvation: We believe Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, reconciling unto God all who call on Him in faith.  1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Romans 5:6-10, 10:9-10, John 3:16
  5. Repentance, Justification: We believe we are saved by grace through faith, not of ourselves. Ephesians 2:8, 1 John 1:9, 1 Corinthians 6:9
  6. The New Birth:  We believe a real and tangible event takes place in the heart of man at conversion.  2 Corinthians 5:17
  7. The Sanctified Life:  We believe it is the will of God that we live a holy, consecrated life every day.  1 Thessalonians 4:1-8
  8. Ordinances:  We believe in water baptism by immersion as an outward testimony of an inward work.  (Matthew 28:19)  We practice the commemoration of the Lord’s Supper by symbolic use of bread and juice of the vine.  1 Corinthians 11:24-25
  9. Baptism of the Holy Spirit:  We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is the promise of the Father to endue the believer with power to be Christ’s witnesses.  We believe it is a work subsequent to salvation and occurs in the same manner of the early church.  Acts 1:4-8, 2:4, 4:31, 7:55
  10. Gifts and Fruit of the Spirit:  We believe the Holy Spirit’s activity in believers’ lives is the same today as the early church.  We believe that living a Spirit filled life is evidenced by the fruit of the Spirit in our character and the operation of the gifts of the Spirit in our lives and ministries.  Galatians 5:22-25, 1 Corinthians Chapters 12-14, Acts 6:3
  11. Healing and Deliverance:  We believe Jesus came to destroy the works of the evil one.  He has given every believer faith, authority, and power to appropriate restoration and freedom for those who are sick and oppressed by the devil.  James 5:16, Acts 10:38, John 20:21
  12. Church Relationships:  We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves with the visible body of Christ.  Acts 16:25, Hebrews 10:35
  13. Moderation:  We believe the life of the believer is to be characterized by temperance.  1 Corinthians 9:24-27, Proverbs 16:32
  14. The Second Coming of Christ:  We believe in the personal and imminent return of Christ.  1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
  15. Final Judgment:  We believe we shall stand before God and give an account of our lives.  2 Corinthians 5:10
  16. Heaven:  We believe heaven is a real and wonderful place.  The eternal home of all born again believers.  John 14:1-3, Revelation 7:15,17, Chapters 21 and 22
  17. Hell:  We believe hell is a real place of eternal torment for the devil and all who reject Christ as Lord and Savior.  Revelation 20:10. 15
  18. Tithes and Offerings:  We believe the method ordained by God to build His church, support His servants, and spread the Gospel is by the giving of tithes and offerings.  2 Corinthians 9:7, Malachi 3:10
  19. Evangelism:  We believe that evangelism is the most important responsibility of the church.  That restoration and reconciliation of man is at the very heart of God. 2 Corinthians 5:18-21, Matthew 28: 18-20
