OUR MISSION

We believe the five-fold ministries of the church as listed in Ephesian 4:11 are not only valid in this church age, but of necessity for the fulfilling of the Great Commission as given in Matt. 28:18-20 and Mark 16:15-18

. We believe that every believer is called to be equipped for service in the Kingdom of God here on this earth. Thus, our mission as part of the local church is.

1;Glorify God (Romans 15:5-6) 

 2.Edify and equip the saints (Eph. 4:11-12

3.Evangelized the lost Luke 24:47;Matt. 28:19-20

4..Be light to the world  (Matthew 5: 13-16)

5..Restrain the evil forces in this world. (Eph.6:10-18 

WHAT WE BELIEVE

The Holy Bible

The Holy Bible is the only authoritative written Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, the Bible is God inspired, infallible and inerrant. (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30: 5-6; Romans 16:25-26)

The Trinity

 There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and co-eternal. ( I John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19: Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6)

Jesus Christ

 We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, deity that pre-existed his incarnation, the Word flesh who assumed humanity through the Virgin Birth. (John 8:58; Philippians 2:6-11; Luke 1:27-35).

Jesus Christ was conceived by God our Father, through the Holy Spirit (the third person of the trinity) in the virgin Mary's womb; therefore, He is the Son of God.

(Matthew 1:18, 23-25; Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:27-35). 

While on the earth he was fully human and fully God, two natures in one person, Devine and human (Phil. 2:5-8; John 1:14).

 He is therefore the only savior, who suffered death on the cross, not only for the primitive transgression ("original sin "), but also for the actual sins of man. (Isaiah 53:4-6, II Corinthians 5:21).

We also believe the Bible accounts of his sinless life, his miracles, his resurrection, his ascension, and his future second coming in power and great glory. (Hebrews 4:15.

 John1 1:47; Luke 24:46; Acts 1:11; Luke 21:27).

Redemption & Salvation

 Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression he fell; his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, Son of God (Genesis 1:26-31,3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21).

We are saved by the grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ, alone, his death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation in a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts. (Ephesian 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews 9:22).

Water Baptism

 Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. We believe the biblical mode of water baptism is by total submergence. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Matthew 3:16; Romans 6:3-4; Colossians 2:12;).

The Holy Spirit

 We believe the Holy Spirit is the promise of the Father, the comforter, teacher, and guide who indwells and places every believer in the Body of Christ, bestows spiritual gifts upon the church and convicts the world of sin, God's righteousness, and the judgment to come. (Acts 2:33; John 14:26; John 16:13; 1 Cor. 12:4,7; John 16:8)

. While all believers are in-dwelt by the Spirit of God (Romans 8),

 We believe the baptism with the Holy Spirit is a definite endowment of power for service for all believers and is separate from conversion. (John 7:37-39, John 16:5-14; Acts 2:1-13).

 We believe that all gifts of the Holy Spirit enumerated in the New Testament were intended by God to endure throughout the Church Age. The purpose of these gifts is for the exhortation, edification, and comfort of the Church and in specific situations, for the edification of the individual believer. (1 Corinthians 12:8-10;1 Corinthians 14:4,26; 1 Corinthians 1:7; 12:28).

The Church

 The Church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, on earth during this age. Its primary mission is to continue the ministry of Jesus and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching, and living the good news of God's love, and discipling the nations in all things that Jesus commands His disciples to do. (Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22, Hebrews 12:23, John 17:11,20-23).

 Every person who is born of the Spirit is an integral part of the Church as a member of the body of believers. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe the local fellowship of believers is an integral part of the universal Church of Jesus Christ. As such, we welcome all people into our fellowship regardless of age, gender, religious background, or ethnic origin who are born again believers or are seeking a relationship with our creator. (Romans 12:5; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; John 3:3-7,29; 1 Peter 1:23).

Communion

 Holy communion is a unique time of worship in the presence of God when the elements of bread and fruit of the vine (the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross. (Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 16:16; Acts 8:12,36-38;10:47-48; 1 Corinthians 10:16, 11:23-25)

Divine Healing & Deliverance

 We believe Jesus' atonement on the cross provided freedom for the whole man, spirit, body, and soul. God has revealed Himself in Scripture as the healer and He has not changed (Exodus 15:26; Psalm 103:3; Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8; Isaiah 53: 4,5; Matthew 8:17; Mark 16:18). God may heal directly, in answer to prayers of the saints, prayer by the elders of the church, or through spiritual gifts of healings. (1 Corinthians 12:9, 28: James 5:14-16). Total salvation, including deliverance from demonic oppression was also provided at Calvary. (Isaiah 53:4, Matt 10:1,8; Luke 9:1; Mark 16:17).

Resurrection

 Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead in a glorified body three days after His death on the cross. In addition, both the saved and the lost will be resurrected; they that are saved to the resurrection of life and they that are lost to the resurrection of eternal damnation. (Luke 24:16,36,39; John 2:19-21,20:26-28,21:4; Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15:42,44; Philippians 1:21-23,3:21).
