Statement of Faith

Tenets of Faith

• We believe in the utter depravity of the human race. All men are born in sin and in need of redemption.¹
• We believe in the virgin birth of God's son, the Lord Jesus Christ.²
• We believe in the death, resurrection and ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ.³
• Man can receive forgiveness of sins and experience salvation. This salvation is by grace, through faith in the shed blood and atoning death of our Lord Jesus Christ. Neither good works nor the practice of religion can save man.⁴
• We believe in baptism in water by immersion.⁵
• We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a second distinct impartation of God's Spirit.⁶
• We believe that God's work on earth is to be accomplished through a collective group of believers called 'The Church' by means of God's Holy Spirit.⁷
• We believe in the sanctification of believers. Believers are to experience progressive purification resulting in a state of holiness.⁸
• We believe in the literal and personal return to earth of our Lord Jesus Christ, at which time He will execute judgment on the wicked and establish His righteous kingdom on the earth.⁹
• We believe in a literal 1,000 year reign of Christ with His saints on the earth. During this time, Christ will be king of all the earth and all nations will become subject to Him.¹⁰
• We believe that during this present time of grace and of the Church, God is calling out and preparing a people to reign with Christ in the coming age.¹¹
