Our Beliefs.
We believe in one true God.
There is only one true God who is the eternal King, Creator, and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving, and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be self-existent, one Being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe Jesus is the Son of God.
The Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary and God's Anointed One, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God's Kingdom on Earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, buried, resurrected and ascended into Heaven and is now alive today in the presence of God the Father and in His people. He is the "true God" and the "true man".
We believe The Bible is the Word of God.
The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God.
We believe Jesus is our Savior.
We are saved by God's grace through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing, and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, justifies, and adopts us as we enter the Kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.
We believe in the power of the Holy Spirit.
In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling, the Christian is enabled to live a holy life and minister supernaturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4 is poured out on believers that they might have God's power to be His witnesses.
We believe in the finished work of the cross.
The victorious redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy -- sin, lies, sickness, and torment. We believe that because of the finished work of the cross -- sickness, disease, poverty, depression, and any other work of darkness has no more hold over us or those we come in contact with. Because we have been created in His image, our true identity is as a son and daughter of the most high King. Thus we co-reign with our God as royalty, called to serve those around us.
We love Israel
We stand against the demonic hatred in our world towards the Jewish people, both those throughout the world and within today’s political entity of Israel.Despite them being the deliberate target of ethnic hatred, though, God also still has a special place in his heart for this particular people.
(Ro 9:4-5)
After all, Jesus Christ is still fully man while being fully God. And as a man, he is a Jewish man, and moreover He is the Messiah to the Jews.Therefore: We stand with, pray for, and give towards reaching ethnic Israel for the sake of the gospel.
We do this because:
•God is forever the God of ALL Israel (Ps. 106:48, Gal 6:16)
•He has not forgotten His covenant He made to Abraham (Gen. 12:1-3; 13:14-17, 2Co 1:20)
•and because God still has a special plan for ethnic Israel (Rom. 11:26).
In response to this revelation, God has confirmed Himself (1Th 5:21) to be calling The Promise to a four-fold role with regard to ethnic Israel:
1. To pray for them (Ps. 122:6-9; Rom. 10:1)
2. To provoke them to repentance by being a glorious Church (Rom. 11:11,25 Eph. 5:27)
3. To proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, their Messiah, to them (Rom. 1:16, 11:13-14)
4. And to help provide for the needs of the least among them (Ro. 15:25-27).
It is our honor as the Church to participate with God in drawing Israel back to Himself (Ro 10:1, 11:14), that in Christ they may truly become God’s redeemed people (Gal 3:29), being grafted back into God’s Covenant People as Israel in Spirit and truth, not in lineage only—that we will indeed experience the fullness of God’s Glory together.
We believe in the church of God.
The Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. He gave His church the ordinances of Baptism and Communion. The church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His Kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God's love, discipling the nations, baptizing, and teaching them to love and obey God.
We believe in the return of Jesus.
We believe in the ever-increasing government of God and in the Blessed Hope, which is the glorious visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to rule and reign with His overcoming bride -- the church.
We believe in heaven and hell.
Heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other everlasting death.
We believe in biblical marriage.
We believe in unconditional love for everyone while remaining unwavering in our loyalty to God’s Holy word. We believe that because God our Creator established marriage as a sacred institution between one man and one woman, the idea that marriage is a covenant only between one man and one woman has been the traditional definition of marriage for all of human history ("Traditional Definition of Marriage"). Because of the longstanding importance of the Traditional Definition of Marriage to humans and their relationships and communities, and, most importantly, the fact that God has ordained that marriage be between one man and one woman, as clearly conveyed in God's inerrant Scriptures, including for example in Matthew 19:4-6 where in speaking about marriage Jesus referred to the fact that "he which made them at the beginning made them male and female," the Church hereby creates this policy, which shall be known as the "Marriage Policy".
