Some of Our Fundamental Beliefs

Overall, beliefs serve as the foundation upon which a church is built, shaping its identity, fostering unity among members, guiding behavior, facilitating worship, supporting education, and guiding mission and outreach activities.

Our Beliefs

The Word of God

We believe that the Holy Bible is the Word of the living God; true, immutable, steadfast, and unchangeable. 

  1. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Tim. 3:16,17)

Salvation by Grace

We believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly through grace; that we have no righteousness or goodness of our own. Salvation is a free gift of love and pardon available to everyone.

  1. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Rom. 6:23)

The Gifts and Fruit of the Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit has the following gifts to bestow upon the believing church of the Lord Jesus Christ: wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discernment, tongues, interpretation; that according to the degree of grace and faith possessed by the recipient, these gifts are divided to every man, as He, the Holy Spirit, wills; that they are to be most earnestly desired and coveted, in the order and proportion wherein they prove most edifying and beneficial to the church; and that the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, are evidence of a Spirit-filled life.

 

1. “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant:...But earnestly desire the best gifts...” (1 Cor. 12:1,31) “But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.” (1 Cor. 12:11)

Faith and Deeds

"What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? ...

We believe in combining deep faith and hope into deeds and action, spiritually and tangibly meeting needs of those around us. (James 2:14-26)
