| ABOUT US |
We believe the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ's Agape love, which is greater
than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves
Christians.
We believe worship of God should be spiritual. Therefore, we remain flexible and yielded to
the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship.
We believe worship of God should be inspirational. Therefore, we give great place to music in
our worship.
We believe worship of God should be intelligent. Therefore, our services are designed with
great emphasis upon the teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct us how He
should be worshipped.
We believe worship of God should be fruitful. Therefore, we look for His love in our lives as
the supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshipping Him.
We believe in all the basic doctrines of historic Christianity.
We believe in the inspiration and the preservation of Scripture, that the Bible, Old and New
Testaments, in the Majority Text, is the inerrant, inspired, infallible Word of God and that it is
the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
We believe that God is eternally existent in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that God is the personal, transcendent, and sovereign Creator of all things.
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, that He was born of a virgin, lived a
sinless life, provided for the atonement of our sins by His substitutionary death on the cross,
was bodily raised from the dead, ascended back to the right hand of the Father, and ever lives
to make intercession for us.
We believe in the personal, visible, and pre-millennial second coming of Jesus Christ to the
earth. He will return with His saints and set up a kingdom of which there will be no end. After
Jesus ascended to Heaven, He poured out His Holy Spirit on the believers in Jerusalem,
enabling them to fulfill His command to preach the Gospel to the entire world, an obligation
shared by all believers today.
We Believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Scriptures, and that they are valid for
today if they are exercised within the Scriptural guidelines. We as believers are to covet the
best gifts, seeking to exercise them in love that the whole Body of Christ might be edified. We
believe that love is more important than the most spectacular gifts, and without this love all
exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless.
We Believe that church government should be simplistic rather than a complex bureaucracy,
and we depend on the Holy Spirit to lead, rather than on fleshly promotion.
We believe that all people are, by nature, separated from God and responsible for their own
sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal
Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by
the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined
to spend eternity with the Lord.
WE DO NOT EMBRACE: (1) The belief that true Christians can be demon possessed; (2)
5-point Calvinism (i.e., a fatalistic Calvinistic view that leaves no room for free will; specifically,
we reject the belief that Christ's atonement was limited. Instead we believe that He died for all
people, and we reject the assertion that God's wooing grace cannot be resisted or that He
has elect some people to go to hell; instead we believe that anyone who wills to come to
Christ may do so, (3) Positive confession, the faith movement belief that God can be
commanded to heal or work miracles according to mans will, (4) human prophecy that
supercedes the Scriptures, (5) the incorporation of humanistic and secular psychology and
philosophy into biblical teachings, and (6) the overemphasis of the spiritual gifts, experiential
signs and wonders to the exclusion of Biblical teaching.
IN OUR SERVICES, we focus on a personal relationship with God through worship, prayer,
and the teaching of the Word of God in a verse by verse format. We seek to teach the Word of
God in such a way that its message can be applied to the believer's life, leading that person
to a greater maturity in Jesus Christ. We teach both expositorally and topically.
