VISION AND BELIEFS

God has revealed Himself as the Creator of all things and Redeemer of mankind Who is infinitely perfect and eternally manifested as a triune Being, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Old and New Testaments are the Inspired Word of God whereby we find the final absolute divine authority for all Christian Faith and practice.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He is also truly man who was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for sin and arose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is now at the right hand of the Father as our Priest and Advocate.

Man was created in the Image of God but fell into sin and is therefore by himself hopelessly lost. Only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and by His resurrection can man have grounds for justification and salvation. This salvation and spiritual life is obtained by being Born Again - regenerated through the work of the Holy Spirit.

Man’s salvation and redemption is a free gift of grace [unmerited & undeserved favor from God] and can only be obtained by exercising faith—a firm belief and conviction in the finished redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ, not works that a person can do or in keeping to any man-made laws, creeds, or church tradition.

If any man is in Christ, a firm believer in The Lord, he is now a new creature (creation) in the inward man: i.e. spiritually. We are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus. We are partakers of His divine nature.

The ministry and baptism of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus Christ and to indwell, guide, and empower believers for life and service. This baptism brings the gifts or enablements of the Holy Spirit to the forefront of the ministry of the Body of Christ. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the New Birth and is evidenced by the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

The redemptive work of Jesus Christ provides not only salvation—that one misses Hell and goes to Heaven—but 'salvation' for the whole person. The Gospel of Jesus Christ includes physical, psychological healing, and prosperity as well.

The Gospel that Jesus preached and that Jesus sent His Apostles, His disciples, and all those who would believe in Him is clearly spelled out in many different passages all over the New Testament and prophesied in the Old. It is THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM. Of primary importance is the Salvation of the soul or better put 'the regeneration of the spirit' meaning: (1) Being spiritually [pneuma] Born Again or Saved, (2) Physical [soma] Healing from sickness and disease, (3) Freedom from Demonic Possession/Oppression, (4) Restoration of The Soul [psyche].

The true Church is the composition of all those that have been genuinely born again through a personal & direct relationship with Jesus Christ. Through the new birth, believers are united together as the Body of Christ. Jesus Christ is the only Lord and Head of the True Church made up of Christians from all over the world.

The Lord has clearly established the ministries to govern the church of Christ and together help equip the saints for the work of the ministry and build up the church body to mature in their faith in Christ. These Ministries are clearly spelled out in the New Testament and referred as Apostles (Missionaries), Prophets (Inspirational Preachers), Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers, and Ministries of Helps.

All who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and have been Born Again are commanded to be immersed in water as a declaration that they identify with the death of Christ and have been raised with Him in newness of life.

Known also as The Table of The Lord, Holy Communion, or Eucharist. We believe that divine grace is imparted during the sharing and partaking of what the Bible Calls, “The Body and The Blood of Christ”. We believe in the consecration of the Bread and Fruit of The Vine and that it is not JUST a symbol. We strongly affirm the fact that this is “The Table of The Lord”, not “the table of the church, the apostle, the pastor, the bishop, the pope, or any particular Christian denomination”. During Eucharist aka The Table of Thanks-Giving (eucharisteo in Greek), we share in the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ as well as the perpetual remembrance of His suffering, death on the cross, and future promise of His Return to Earth.

One day coming, the entire Body of Christ will be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

The actual, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to establish His Kingdom and millennial reign upon the earth.

A day when the wicked dead will be raised and judged with everlasting punishment.
