WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Scriptures
We believe that only the sixty-six books of the Bible, in their original languages, are the inspired and, therefore, inerrant Word of God. The Bible is the final authority for all we believe and how we are to live.
One True God
We believe that the one true God exists eternally in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and that these, being one God, are equal in deity, power, and glory. God is infinite in love, perfect in judgments, and unchanging in righteousness and mercy.
God, the Father
We believe God the Father is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. We believe the heavenly Father is the source of all that exists, whether of matter or spirit. With the Son and the Holy Spirit, He made man, male and female, in His image.
God, the Son
We believe that Jesus of Nazareth, Yeshua in the original language, is the Messiah, the Son of God; He is God incarnate, fully God and fully man; He was eternally preexistent, conceived and born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and offered Himself as a substitutionary sacrifice for sinners. Crucified, died and was raised bodily on the third day and ascended to the right hand of the Father, to make intercession for believers forever. He will return to earth again to reign in righteousness.
God, the Holy Spirit
We believe that Jesus/Yeshua baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit, in whom we are also sealed for the day of redemption. The Holy Spirit regenerates, forever indwells, and graciously equips the believers for godly living and service. Subsequent to conversion, the Spirit fills, empowers, and anoints believers for ministry and witness. We also believe that signs and wonders, as well as all the gifts of the Spirit described in the New Testament, are operative today and are designed to testify to the presence of the kingdom of God and to empower and edify the Body of believers to fulfill its calling and mission.
Salvation
We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus/Yeshua alone. No ordinance, ritual, work or any other activity on the part of man is required or accepted for his salvation. This saving grace of God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, also sanctifies us by enabling us to do what is pleasing in God’s sight, that we might be progressively conformed to the image of Messiah.
Humanity
We believe that humanity, intentionally and exclusively male and female, was originally created in the image of God, righteous and without sin. As a consequence of disobedience, all persons are sinners by both nature and choice, and are, therefore, spiritually dead and justly condemned as children of wrath in the sight of God, wholly unable to save themselves.
Eternity
We believe that when Believers in Jesus/Yeshua die, they pass immediately into the His presence, there to enjoy conscious fellowship with the Savior until the day of the resurrection and the glorious transformation of their bodies. The saved will receive eternal rewards and forever dwell in blissful fellowship with their great triune God.
We also believe that when unbelievers die, they are consigned to hell, to await the Day of Judgment when they shall be punished in the lake of fire separated from the presence of God.
John 17:17
Make them holy in the truth. Your word is truth.
