We Believe
|
There is only one true God who is the eternal King,
Creator and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self- existent - one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Bible is the inspired, living, and authoritative Word of God. Humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin. The Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin, Mary, and is God's Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God's Kingdom in the heavens and on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today, in the presence of God the Father and in His people. He is "true God" and "true man." We are saved by God's grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit, convicts, regenerates, justifies, and adopts us as we enter the Kingdom of God as His sons and daughters. In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live holy and minister super-naturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4 is poured out on believers that they might have power to be witnesses. The victorious redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy: sin, lies, death, sickness and torment. The Church in heaven and earth consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. He gave His church the ordinances of Baptisms and Communion. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, as it is in heaven, preaching and living the good news of God's love, discipling the nations, baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God. In the ever increasing government of God and in the Blessed Hope, which is the glorious visible return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His overcoming bride, His church. Heaven and hell are real places. There is a resurrection of the living and the lost. 2 Peter 3:9 |
First Things First
1. Our first ministry is to God, therefore we worship with extravagant joy, freedom & gratitude.
Our personal relationship with Him is our number one priority 2. Salvation frees us from the power of the devil - sin, lies, sickness, torment & overcome death. 3. Every believer is a supernatural minister of the gospel of power whom signs & wonders should follow. "Co-mission" the act of divinely partnering personally & corporately, committing and pursuing a mission with Him, in Him, about Him, from Him. Our Mandate "to Re-educate the Educated" We experience the Kingdom of heaven which empowers us to equip and send the church to carry on the works of Jesus. All ministry flows from prayer & seeing what the Father is doing, "Thy kingdom come... on earth as it is in heaven." 4. We demonstrate God's grace, His unconditional love & transforming power, to everyone. We impact every socioeconomic group & cultural realm that mercy & justice would reign because we are seated in heavenly places as heirs. 5. Christ is preparing a glorious overcoming bride - His Church We are more then "sinners saved by grace", we are saints - sons & daughters of the King So we expect to successfully fulfill living from Heaven to Earth - passing on Sonship from one generation to the next - anticipating that the world will grow brighter and brighter. We embrace Christs Gifts to the body, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers which equip Saints to walk as mature "Sons" of the Kingdom.
