Our
Statement of Faith
We Believe:
1.
The Holy Scriptures
The Bible teaches that there is only one true, ever living,
eternal God, infinite in power, holy in nature, and possessing
absolute, invisible deity.
2.
Lord Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived
of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified,
died, was buried, was resurrected, ascended into heaven, and
is now seated at the right hand of God the Father and is true
God and true man.
3. Christian
Life and Duty
The ordained officers of the Church are apostle, prophet,
evangelist, pastor, teacher, elders, and deacons and all of
these officers shall function under the covering of a local
church and all elders and deacons are under the direction
of the five-fold ministry listed in Ephesians
4:11.
4. Members
Each believer is a priest of the Lord and has direct access
to the Father through the Lord Jesus Christ. Each person must
believe for himself, must be baptized for himself, obey for
himself, and answer to his Creator for himself
5. The
Sacraments
The two ordinances of the Church are water baptism and the
Lord's Supper. Water baptism by immersion in water in the
name of the Trinity is a mark of recognition with Jesus Christ
in His death, burial, and resurrection. The Lord's Supper
is a cenotaph of the death, resurrection, and second coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
6. Divine
Health
The receiving and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, with the
initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit
gives utterance. (3 John 2, Act 9:34)
7. Economic
Prosperity
The Children of God must and ought to prosper and use wealth
as an instrument of blessing and as a tool for the expansion
of the Gospel. (3 John 2)
8. Marriage
The bible teaches that marriage is a holy covenant ordained
by God as a united entity between one man and one woman (Gen.1:
27-28, 2:23-24) |
