OUR BELIEFS

  • We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, a divine revelation from God to man. We accept the scriptures as the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

    2 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 2:15

  • We believe in the one ever-living, eternal God. This one true God has revealed Himself as Father, through His Son in redemption, and as the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. This infinite God was manifest in flesh and His name is Jesus. We believe that Jesus lived a sinless life, was crucified on Calvary for our sins, and bodily rose from the grave, and that He has been exalted on the throne of God, where He is the only mediator between God and man. We believe that, through His death and life, we have personal salvation and power for victorious living.

    John 1:1-3, 14, Matthew 1:21, Colossians 1:15-17, Galatians 3:14, Ephesians 1:7, 1 Timothy 3:16

  • We believe all have sinned and need salvation. The gospel is the good news that Jesus lived a perfect life, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again three days later. We express our belief in the gospel through our obedience to the gospel. We obey the gospel and apply it to our lives by repenting of our sins (death to sin), being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection) with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues. This threefold experience is the consistent pattern of conversion in the early church (1 Cor 15.1-4; 2 Thes 1.8; 1 Pet 4.17; Mark 1.15; Acts 15.7; Rom 6.3-4; Acts 2.4, 37-39; 8.9-17; 10.1-48; 19.1-7). 

  • As Christians we are to love God and love others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. (Mark 12:28-31; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Corinthians 12:8-10) 

  • “Apostolic” is a term used to describe connection to the Apostles of the Bible. We are striving to be an Apostolic Church by replicating the practices and beliefs of the Apostles of the first church. We believe that the pattern of the church found in the book of Acts is the pattern for the church today.
