Four Core Beliefs
Our teaching of the Scripture is based upon our commitment to four
Core Beliefs. For a complete description of our doctrinal beliefs
please see our
Sixteen Fundamental Truths.
The Salvation of Man
Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life. (Ephesians 2:8; Titus 3:5)
Divine Healing
Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement and is the privilege of all believers.
(Matthew 8:17)
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. (John 14:16-17; Acts 2:4; Ephesians 5:17-20)
The Second Coming
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord is the blessed hope of the church. (John 14:3; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
Living Out Our Beliefs
You should live to serve Christ anywhere and at all times. The Bible teaches that every Christian is called to Christian service, regardless of his or her vocation. We practice the truth that every believer is a minister by living as a follower of Christ. Every believer has direct access to God through prayer and the scripture.
You should live as a manager… not an owner of your time, talents and treasures. The Bible teaches us that we are His workmanship, created in Christ – we are His ‘poetry in motion’. As we are connected with God, it enables us to fulfill His purpose and will, not only for our lives but for others as well. As a vessel for Him, we will be blessed through blessing others.
Your life and words should tell others about Christ. It is the responsibility of every Christian to share the Good News with those God allows us to contact daily.
You should live guided by the Spirit and Word of God. It is imperative today that Christians in our culture seek the aid of the Holy Spirit in cultivating sensitivity to evils of society.
