Our Statement of Faith


Our Statement of Faith

We believe in one God, who is revealed in three distinct persons, the Father Almighty, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

 We believe that the Father created the heavens and the earth through the living Word
our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ is in subjection to the Father, and is the only begotten Son of God.

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.

He made atonement for the sins of the world upon the cross and provided redemption for those who make Him their Lord. If we truly repent and turn from our sins, and are born again, as well as hold our faith until the end, we will have eternal life in God's Kingdom.

We believe that He descended to the realm of the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, also known as being filled with the Holy Ghost. We believe that the gifts, as well as the fruits of the Holy Spirit should be present in the life of believers. We believe in speaking in unknown tongues as the Spirit of the Lord directs. We believe that the gift of prophecy should be present within the churches. We believe in divine healing according to God's will.

We believe in sanctification by the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe that without holiness no man shall see the Father. We must allow the Holy Spirit to convict us of our sins and lead us to repentance. If we walk in obedience to God's Word we will be purified by the Spirit. We must be set apart from the world by living a clean life, and rejecting sin, which leads to spiritual death. Christ said that any tree which does not bring forth good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

We believe in the eminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ to this earth to usher in the fullness of the Kingdom of God. We believe that He will return immediately after the seven year Great Tribulation. The dead in Christ will be resurrected first, then those who are alive and remain will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air as He returns. 


Matt 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
