These are the truths we stand on but we also understand you may not agree. That is okay, we love you but will always direct you back to the Word of God. Jesus is what changed each of us into the people you now know. THE BIBLE - WE BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE IS THE DIVINELY INSPIRED, INFALLIBLE, AUTHORITATIVE WORD OF GOD. IT IS OUR GUIDE AND TEXTBOOK FOR OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH. JESUS CHRIST - WE BELIEVE IN: HIS ETERNAL EXISTENCE AS THE SECOND PERSON OF THE GODHEAD. HIS VIRGIN BIRTH. HIS SINLESS LIFE. HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS FOR THE ATONEMENT OF MAN'S SIN. HIS BODILY RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD. HIS ASCENSION TO THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD THE FATHER. HIS FUTURE RETURN IN POWER AND GLORY. GODHEAD - THERE IS ONE GOD, ETERNALLY EXISTENT IN THREE PERSONS: FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT. HOLY SPIRIT - WE BELIEVE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT, THIRD PERSON OF THE GODHEAD, CONVICTS MEN NOT TO SIN REGENERATES, BAPTIZES, INDWELLS, INSTRUCTS AND SETS APART BELIEVERS UNTO A HOLY LIFE. WE ENCOURAGE ALL BELIEVERS TO SEEK A LIFE OF OBEDIENCE TO THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. WE BELIEVE THIS STEP IS ESSENTIAL FOR EMPOWERING BELIEVERS FOR VICTORIOUS LIVING AND MINISTRY THROUGH THE GIFTS GIVEN BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. SALVATION - SALVATION IS BY GRACE, A GIFT OF GOD APART FROM WORKS. SALVATION REQUIRES REPENTANCE, A TURNING FROM ONES OWN WAY TO GOD'S WAY. SALVATION IS THROUGH PERSONAL FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. ALL WHO RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST ARE BORN AGAIN, REGENERATED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD. TRUE SALVATION WILL BE MANIFESTED BY A CHANGED LIFE. THE CHURCH - THE CHURCH IS THE BODY OF BELIEVERS CONSISTING OF ALL BORN AGAIN PERSONS WITHOUT RESPECT TO RACE, CULTURE OR BACKGROUND. DIRECTED BY JESUS CHRIST AND EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE CHURCH IS TAKING THE GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION TO THE WHOLE WORLD. OUR FELLOWSHIP IS INCLUSIVE RATHER THAN EXCLUSIVE AND STRESSES LOVE FOR GOD AND ONE ANOTHER, UNITY OF ALL BELIEVERS AND OBEDIENCE TO THE HOLY SPIRIT.
