Our Beliefs

1. The Bible

We believe the entire Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, fully trustworthy in all matters of faith and practice.

2. The Trinity

We believe in one true God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

3. Salvation

We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone. All people are sinners in need of salvation, which is received by repentance and faith in Jesus Christ's atoning death and bodily resurrection.

4. The Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit baptizes all believers into the body of Christ, empowers them for godly living and service, and gives spiritual gifts for ministry. We affirm the ongoing operation of the gifts of the Spirit, including speaking in tongues, prophecy, healing, and miracles.

5. The Church

We believe the Church is the Body of Christ, composed of all born-again believers. The local church is called to worship, teach, evangelize, disciple, and serve.

6. Ordinances

We practice water baptism by immersion for believers and commemorate the Lord's Supper also know as Communion as acts of obedience and remembrance. 

Eschatology

7. The Rapture

We believe in the imminent, personal return of Jesus Christ to rapture (catch away) the Bride (His Church) before the seven-year tribulation period (pre-tribulation rapture). All the living and dead in Christ (born again) will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air to go to the judgment Seat of Christ and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Corinthians 3:11-15).

8. The Tribulation

We believe the Rapture will be followed by a literal seven-year Tribulation--A period of God's judgment on Earth, as described in Daniel and Revelation and that many Jews and non Jews will be saved.

9. The Second Coming and Millennium

After the Tribulation, Christ will return with His saints to Earth and establish a literal, thousand-year (millennial) reign of peace and righteousness (Revelation 20:1-6). This is a bodily, visible return to Jerusalem.

10. Judgment and eternity

We believe in the bodily resurrection. The justified after the Rapture and unjustified at the end of the Millennial Reign of Christ at the Great White Throne Judgment: the saved to everlasting glory in the New heaven and New Earth, the lost to everlasting punishment in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15).

Summary Statement:

We affirm the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer and the Church today, and eagerly anticipate the soon, pre-tribulation Rapture of the Church and the visible, premillennial return of Jesus Christ with His Church to establish His earthly Kingdom.
