Demonstrating the Kingdom of God outside the walls of a Church building.

We believe in a true 5-fold ministry (Ephesians 4:11-16) led church body that is tightly bound together for the purpose of reaching a lost world (Luke 19:10) and for the equipping & maturing of the Saints. It is a shared desire & our commission from Jesus to demonstrate the Kingdom of God in this world through the healing of the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead, cleansing the lepers and making disciples (Mark 16:17-18 & Matthew 10:7-8.

THE BIBLE

The Scriptures are inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind. The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. (II Timothy 3:15-17.)

GOD

There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. (See Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16.)

JESUS CHRIST

We believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus was both fully man and fully God (Col 1:15; 1 Tim 3:16). We believe that we are also Sons manifesting the Kingdom of God in this world just as Jesus Christ because the Bible says “…because as He is, so are we in this world.” 1 John 4:17

FALL OF MAN

Although originally perfect, Man willingly fell to sin handing over Adam’s God given dominion in the Earth to Satan—ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into this world. (Genesis 2:17; Romans 5:12; 18-21; Isaiah 53.6; 2 Corinthians 11:3)

SALVATION

Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. (Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9.) Every person can have restored fellowship with God just like Adam before the fall of man through salvation (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior). When this happens the Kingdom of God is restored back to the person and their spirit becomes one with the Father. (1 Corinthians 6:17)

ORDINANCES OF THE CHURCH

We practice two ordinances:

1) WATER BAPTISM BY IMMERSION after repenting of one’s sins and receiving Christ’s gift of salvation.(1 Peter 3:21; Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16; 1 Corinthians 12:13; John 3:5; Matthew 28:18-20)

2) HOLY COMMUNION (the Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation and Devine healing. (John 6:53-58; 1 Corinthians 11:24-28; Matthew 26:26-28)

BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is an experience following salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in the Book of Acts. (Acts 2:1-4; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:6; Acts 4:31; Ephesians 5:18). We believe the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is for every Christian and not just the select few. 

SANCTIFICATION

Sanctification initially occurs at salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of renewing our minds that draws us closer to God to become more Christ-like. (2 Timothy 2:21; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; John 17:17; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; 1 Corinthians 6:11) 

THE CHURCH

The Church has a mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe “the Church” is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God’s offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His Son, Jesus Christ. We believe that Christians (the Church) should live consecrated lives of obedience to the Word of God. We are for holiness, health, and charity. We are against sin, sickness, and a weak powerless gospel that blames the sick and hurting for being sick and hurting. (Matthew 16:18; Acts 20:28; Ephesians 2:20-22; Romans 12:5)

THE MINISTRY

A divinely called and scripturally ordained leadership ministry that serves the Church through the 5-fold ministry; ie: Pastor, Evangelist, Apostle, Prophet and Teacher. The Bible teaches that each of us must commit ourselves to reaching others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, to build up or edify the body of believers (the Church), and to meet every human need with ministries of love and compassion demonstrating the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe that all ministry should be equipping Believers to literally change their world! (Ephesians 4:11-13; 2 Timothy 2:15; Romans 10:13-15; 2 Corinthians 6:3-10)

DIVINE HEALING

Divine healing of the sick is a privilege and an inheritance for all Christians today. It was completely paid in full already through Christ’s atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins). We believe that God has provided a total Gospel with a total healing for the total man: spirit, soul, and body. (1 Peter 2:24; James 5:14-15; Psalm 103:1-22; Acts 10:38; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:18; Matthew 4:23; Acts 14:8-10; Acts 19:11-12; Acts 3:1—10)

DELIVERANCE

We believe all should be freed (delivered) from demonic control, and that all born again Believers have the authority to cast out demons to set the captives free. Just like divine healing, it is a privilege and an inheritance for all Christians today to receive their deliverance. Jesus called it “the Children’s Bread”. (Matthew 15:22-28; Mark 16:16-18; 1 Peter 5:8; Ephesians 6:10-18; Luke 10:19; Mark 5:1-13; Acts 19:11-12; Luke 4:33-36; Luke 10:17; James 4:7; Luke 9:42; Acts 16:18)

THE RAPTURE

The Blessed Hope is when Jesus raptures His Church prior to His return to earth (the Second Coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; Revelation 1:7; Revelation 3:10; 1 Corinthians 15:52)

MILLENNIAL REIGN OF CHRIST

We believe in the Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His Second Coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. (Revelation 20:1-6)

FINAL JUDGMENT

A final judgment will take place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in the lake of fire.  (Matthew 25:31-46; Romans 1:18-32; Daniel 12:2; Isaiah 66:15-24; Revelation 20:14; Revelation 21:8; 2 Peter 3:7; Matthew 10:28; 2 Peter 3:10)

NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH

We believe and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who are the true believers and born again. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. “And so shall we forever be with the Lord!” (Isaiah 65:17; Isaiah 66:22; Revelation 21:1-27: 2 Peter 3:13)
