Doctrinal Statement

PARTNERSHIP

I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you,

I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.

Philippians 1:3-5

SERVANT LEADERSHIP

But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them,

and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you

must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not

to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Matthew 20:25-28

DIVERSITY

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count,

from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne

and before the Lamb.

Revelation 7:9

BOLD FAITH

With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus.

And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all.

Acts 4:33

HONOR

Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Romans 12:10

STEWARDSHIP

Based on the gift each one has received, use it to serve others,

as good managers of the varied grace of God.

1 Peter 4:10

INTEGRITY

For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord

but also in the eyes of man.

II Corinthians 8:21

  1. WE BELIEVE that the Holy Scriptures, both the Old and the New Testaments, are fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, without error in the

    original manuscripts, infallible, and the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.

  2. WE BELIEVE in one God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

  3. WE BELIEVE that man was created in the image of God, but through Adam’s sin became alienated from God,

    acquired a sin nature, and came under the judicial sentence of death. As a consequence man is lost,

    unable to save himself from the wrath of God, and needs to be saved.

  4. WE BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, sinless and perfect, the only Savior.

    We believe that He carried our sins in His body on the cross, rose from the dead, ascended to heaven,

    and is now at the right hand of God, mediating for us. We believe in the personal and

    physical return of Christ in power and glory.

  5. WE BELIEVE that salvation is a gift of God, sovereignly offered by grace to those who repent and place their faith

    in the Lord Jesus Christ; and that all who truly believe in Him are eternally

    saved on the basis of His shed blood.

  6. WE BELIEVE in God the Holy Spirit who indwells all believers to convict, enlighten, sanctify, empower, gift, and guide them in life and service.

  7. WE BELIEVE that the true Church is composed of persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit

    and are united together in the body of Christ of which He is Head.

  8. WE BELIEVE in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto eternal life with God,

    and they that are lost unto eternal punishment separated from God.

  9. WE BELIEVE that Christ commanded the church to make disciples of all peoples, by going into all the world, baptizing them in the name of the

    Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that Christ commanded.
