Beliefs

We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and that it is the foundation for instruction in the Christian faith.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the virgin born Son of God. That he was crucified on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. He was placed in a sealed tomb and on the third day he arose.

We believe that Jesus will come again, but we have no idea about the date and time (Matthew 24:36; Mark 13:32-37). Our study of last things emphasizes that when Jesus comes to receive his bride, the church, all things of this world will end.

We believe that the Kingdom of God is a present reality. We believe that when Jesus came to earth he launched his Kingdom and his Kingdom is in the hearts of men and women who give him their allegiance.

We Believe that ordinances are worship and faith disciplines which have been specifically ordained by Jesus in his instructions to his followers. We believe that the ordinances are symbolic of something that is happening in the believer as a direct act of God’s spirit. We practice Baptism by immersion, Communion, and Feet Washing.

Are we charismatic or pentecostal? If you mean persons are empowered by the Spirit for the edification of the church and if you mean the Holy Spirit was given to the early church and continues to come, empower, and call the church to servant ministries, then yes. If you mean an emphasis on speaking in tongues as the sign of a spirit filled life or the freedom for persons to speak in tongues at their own discretion in public worship, then no.
