What we believe

Following Jesus is the best decision you will ever make. Jesus as God the Son is the only pure and holy sacrifice, that could be made for the redemption of mankind and all of Gods creation. Its through Jesus’ death and resurrection, that we are restored to relationship with God the Father. Jesus stood in our place for a judgement we deserved forgiving us from all sin and our human nature and inviting us into a life inspired by His unconditional love and grace toward us,. He also set the example of His love to God the Father in obedience and sacrifice. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, co-equal with the Father and Holy Spirit. Jesus left heaven to become fully human and yet still God offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death and the grave. He ascended to heaven and will return to visibly reign on earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Isaiah 9:6, Daniel 7:14 John 1:1-5, John 14:10-30, Hebrews 4:14-15,1 Romans 1:3-4, Acts 1:9-11, Colossians 1:17 1 Timothy 6:14-15, Titus 2:13, Revelation 11:15

The Holy Spirit exists as a third unique being of God and is co-equal to God the Father and God the Son. The work of the Holy Spirit is seen throughout scripture revealing and miraculously showing the power of God and the truth of God active over all His creation.   It is the work of the Holy Spirit that draws people to God through a belief and faith in Jesus. Jesus promised that upon salvation we would receive power through the Holy Spirit to know, grow, serve, and multiply through God’s spiritual gifts where His fruit is evident . We are strengthened to follow Jesus by the Holy Spirit through faith aligned to the Word, no matter what circumstances we may face while living for God on earth. He provides Christians with spiritual disciplines that abide with God’s word and power to live just, obedient, and holy lives in the example Jesus gave us while on earth. We believe the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is still available for the church today, just as we read in Acts 2:4. This Spirit baptism empowers and equips believers to continue the ministry of Jesus with boldness and authority in Christ. We are led through the Holy Spirit being biblically aligned giving people a clear understanding of God and His desire to save, heal, and restore humanity to Himself. It is the Holy Spirit that gives us power to abide in the presence of Jesus Christ fulfilling the will of God in all aspects of life and living.

Acts 1:8, Acts 2, 1 Corinthians 2:12, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 Corinthians 13-14, 2 Corinthians 3:17, John 16:7-13, John 14:16-17, Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 2:12, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Ephesians 1:13, Galatians 5:25, Ephesians 5:18

Humankind was created good and upright; for God said, “Let us make humanity in our image, after our likeness.” However, by voluntary wrongdoing and willful disobedience, humanity fell out of their relationship with God and fell prey to a broken and contrary sin nature. This resulted in not only physical death but spiritual death, which is separation from God. It is our sin and separation from God that causes various things that play out such as disbelief, pride, fear, hopelessness, self centeredness, immoral or unethical thoughts and action, outward anger and rage, addictions, guilt, unworthiness, shame, striving and no peace or contentment. This separation from God also affects our view of family, marriage, gender, sexuality, and true purpose.

Genesis 3, Isaiah 55:8, Jeremiah 17:9, 1 John 1:8-10, Romans 5:12-19 Galatians 5: 12-17; Psalm 25; Psalm 51; Psalm 58:3; John 9:31; Proverbs 1:28-29 28

We believe that salvation is God’s free gift to us; Jesus was crucified and died for our sin, was buried and on the third day rose again for the mediation of humanity. We can never make up for our sin through self-improvement or living well. It is only by trusting in and choosing to follow Jesus, and what he accomplished for us. Eternal life begins the moment one truly accepts Jesus into their life by faith through prayer. The inward evidence of accepting Jesus is the presence and leading of the Holy Spirit. The outward evidence to all people is a life of righteousness and Godly holiness that serves as a credit to the message of Jesus as we grow and mature in our faith. Salvation is God’s gift to you if you’ll accept it.

John 1:9 John 3:16; Rom. 5:15-18; Eph. 2:8-9;

The Bible is God’s Word given to every person known as the Gospel or Good News. It was inspired by God and written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the absolute and final source of truth. The Bible is God’s Word to all people giving us historical context and truth to who God is, His mission, how humanity fell and in need of redemption through Jesus Christ. The Bible throughout gives us understanding and comfort of a Sovereign God who is active in all of His creation in what was, what is and is to come . It is the ultimate source for Christians to know God and live out their life in His truth, and how He still reveals Himself supernaturally to us and through us today.

2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, 2 Timothy 1:13, Psalm 119:105, Psalm 119:160, Psalm 12:6, Proverbs 30:5

You were created to exist forever. We believe that forever is spent in one of two places: eternally separated from God because of sin or in union with God because of His forgiveness and salvation. When you die, you will either spend eternity in heaven or hell. Eternal separation from God happens in hell. Eternal union with God occurs in heaven.
