Statement of Faith

Revelation

We believe that God has unveiled Himself to all creation, to conscience, and throughout all history as general revelation, and to individuals or a community in the form of special revelation. God has revealed Himself in the writings of the Bible, which teach us what to believe and how to live. God has also inspired the writings of the Bible through the work of the Holy Spirit, who gave the authors of the Bible their thoughts, even though the authors chose the words to convey those thoughts. The Bible can be fully trusted and achieves its saving purpose. It is without error, and all apparent biblical discrepancies can be resolved.

God's Attributes

We believe that according to God's nature, He is in continual opposition to all things evil. He is sinless, omnipotent within His nature, eternal, and omniscient. He is the very essence of love, compelled to soothe misery, to heal painful afflictions, and to accept sinful humans by grace. God is patient and expresses His kindness through steadfast, enduring, and faithful love. God is Spirit and is not governed or altered by emotions or affliction, yet He fully understands affliction. God remains faithful, generous, and understanding. God is holy, and through His holiness He reveals His glory and always acts with complete knowledge and correct values.

The Trinity

We believe that God is uncreated and uncaused. He existed before creation and will remain after it. God is therefore present within creation, yet He is not creation itself but is above the created order in that He is uncreated. God is undivided. He is one eternal, fully divine God, self-revealed in the Holy Scriptures as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and known as three persons who are one God. The person of Jesus Christ is fully divine, uncreated, eternal, and coequal, self-revealed in the Holy Scriptures with the Father and the Holy Spirit as God.

The Person of Christ: His Humanity and Deity

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully divine and fully human. He is the second person of the Trinity, coequal and coeternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit (John 1:1-14; Colossians 1:15-20). In the incarnation, Jesus took on human flesh, being conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38). He lived a sinless life, perfectly obeying the Father and fulfilling the Law (Hebrews 4:15; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

As fully God, Jesus possesses all the divine attributes: omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, immutability, and eternality. He is the exact representation of God's nature (Hebrews 1:3). As fully man, Jesus experienced the full range of human life and emotion, yet without sin. He had a human body, mind, will, and emotions (Luke 2:52; John 11:35; Matthew 26:38).

The humanity and deity of Christ are perfectly united in one person, without confusion or mixture. This hypostatic union, the joining of the divine and human natures in the one person of the Son, enables Jesus to be the perfect mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5). His humanity allows Him to sympathize with our weaknesses, while His deity gives Him the power to provide eternal salvation. Jesus' death on the cross and His resurrection provide atonement for sin and the hope of eternal life to all who put their faith in Him (Romans 3:21-26; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8, 20-22).

The Work of Christ

We believe that Christ came to earth as a human being to make a way back to the Father for all humanity (John 3:16), at all times past, present, and future, for any who would believe in the name of Jesus. Jesus lived a sinless life and became sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21) by doing the will of the Father through the power of the Holy Spirit, and not His own will (Luke 22:42). Abandoned by His followers, mocked by the Jewish leaders, and condemned to death on a cross by Roman authorities, Jesus was laid to rest in a borrowed tomb and rose from the grave on the third day.

Through His sacrificial death on the cross, Christ restored the broken relationship between God and humanity. This grace and salvation is freely given and accessible to all through faith in Jesus alone, not by works or human effort (Ephesians 2:8-9). His completed work on the cross justifies us by faith, progressively sanctifies us, and promises future glorification to all who trust in Him.

Creation

We believe that God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created the universe from nothing, freely and out of love, proclaiming that everything in creation is good. God's greatest achievement in all material existence is humankind, in that humankind was created bearing the image of God. According to the Holy Scriptures, the creation process was completed in six days, as recorded in the book of Genesis. The Hebrew word yom, translated "day," can carry the sense of an extended period of time, which allows for the formation of geological and microevolutionary changes within creation itself.

Providence

We believe that God's providence is His divine power continually at work, upholding, preserving, and governing creation. Because God sees ahead, He makes wise provision for creation. At times He works through angels, who are spiritual beings created by God to serve Him and His people, and through supernatural workings known as miracles. We are responsible for the care of creation, despite the continual impinging of Satan and demons, sufferings on this planet that arise from non-human causes, and moral evil, which is the result of human sin.

Humanity

We believe that God has created humankind in His image, distinct from the rest of creation, holding a unique relationship with God and given dominion over the created order to care for God's creation. Humankind was designed for relationship, to love and to be loved, and is composed of three parts: spirit, soul, and body.

Sin

We believe that sin is the failure to meet the mark of God's perfect will. Sin is a direct result of the angelic rebellion against God, which led the first humans to partake of the forbidden fruit. This has produced a three-form method of death, beginning with spiritual death in humankind, which leads to physical death, and which without redemption results in eternal death that comes from the wrath and judgment of God. Sin can take many forms, such as the pride of power, an attempt to control the people and situations around us. Pride is also the source of the refusal to acknowledge our intellectual limitations, which is called the pride of knowledge, and finally the pride of religion, the focus on one's religious acts in order to obtain a higher form of godliness than another. All of these are rooted in selfishness.

Salvation

We believe that salvation is the means by which God redeems His people from sin and its consequences. It is a gift of God's grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. Christ, who was laid in the tomb for three days, was raised by God's power to eternal life (1 Corinthians 6:14) and ascended to the Father (Daniel 7:13), making a way for humanity to have fellowship with God once again. Through repentance and faith, we are forgiven and reconciled to God, becoming new creations in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Regeneration

We believe that regeneration is the spiritual transformation that occurs when a person is born again by the power of the Holy Spirit. At conversion the Holy Spirit takes up residence in the believer, sealing that person as God's own possession (Ephesians 1:13-14; 1 Corinthians 6:19).

Sanctification

We believe that sanctification is the ongoing process by which believers are transformed into the likeness of Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit. It is a vital aspect of the Christian life that begins at the moment of salvation and continues throughout one's earthly journey.

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit

We believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a distinct experience from conversion, given to believers after they have been born again (Acts 8:12-17; 19:1-6). At conversion the Spirit indwells the believer; in the baptism in the Holy Spirit the believer is immersed in the Spirit and clothed with power. The two are related but they are not the same work.

We believe that the initial physical evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit is speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:6). This initial evidence is distinct from the gift of tongues exercised in the gathered assembly, which is given as the Spirit wills and is to be interpreted for the building up of the body (1 Corinthians 12:10; 14:27-28).

The purpose of this baptism is empowerment for witness, service, and ministry, not personal status (Acts 1:8). It does not make a believer more saved, more loved, or spiritually superior to another. The promise is for all who believe, in every generation (Joel 2:28-29; Acts 2:38-39), and we encourage every believer to seek it.

The Gifts and Ministries of the

Holy Spirit

We believe that the gifts and ministries of the Holy Spirit are given to glorify Christ and to advance His kingdom. The Holy Spirit distributes spiritual gifts as He wills for the building up of the body of Christ. These include the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, the working of miracles, prophecy, the discerning of spirits, various kinds of tongues, and the interpretation of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). Christ also gives ministry gifts to His Church, namely apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry (Ephesians 4:11-13).

We believe that these gifts are for the Church today and are to be exercised in love, in order, and for the common good (1 Corinthians 13:1-3; 14:26, 40). They are to be tested, not received uncritically, and Scripture remains the standard by which every manifestation is weighed (1 Thessalonians 5:19-21; 1 John 4:1).

Divine Healing

We believe that divine healing is provided for in the atoning work of Christ (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17; 1 Peter 2:24) and that it is the privilege of all believers to ask God for healing.

We believe that healing is ministered through prayer in the name of Jesus, through the laying on of hands, and through the anointing with oil and the prayer of faith by the elders of the church (Mark 16:18; James 5:14-16). Gifts of healing are also distributed by the Spirit among the members of the body (1 Corinthians 12:9).

We believe that God is sovereign over the timing and the manner of healing. He heals instantly at times, gradually at other times, through medical care at other times, and He sometimes sustains His people in suffering without removing it, as He did with Paul (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). We do not teach that unanswered prayer proves a deficiency of faith in the one who is suffering, and we will not lay that burden on the sick. Prayer for healing and the use of medical care are not in competition. The final and complete healing of the body is the resurrection, for which we still wait (Romans 8:22-23).

The Church

We believe that the Ekklesia, or assembly, is the group of people who profess faith in Jesus Christ. It is also called the Bride of Christ and His Body, as He is the head (Colossians 1:18). The Church began at the first coming of Christ and includes all believers, along with the righteous who lived before the incarnation. The Church is united by Christ the head and by the Spirit of God, who indwells all believers (Ephesians 4:4), and not by human effort.

The Church has a united mission to share the good news of the kingdom of God with all nations and to observe the ordinances given by Christ (Matthew 28:19-20). This includes praise, teaching, equipping, and serving both believers within the Church and unbelievers outside of it, so that the love of God is demonstrated (1 Corinthians 14:26). The work of the Church is ongoing, requiring persistence, patience, and complete reliance on the Holy Spirit's guidance. It is not a one-time event but a journey of faith, healing, and growth, in which the church walks alongside the individual every step of the way.

The Priesthood of Believers

We believe that all believers are now part of a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). Every Christian has the privilege and the responsibility to approach God directly, to offer spiritual sacrifices, and to minister to others in Christ's name.

Discipleship

We believe that discipleship is a core aspect of Christian life, a continuous journey of growing in our relationship with Jesus Christ and becoming more like Him. It is a process of learning, growing, and serving, guided by the Holy Spirit and empowered by God's grace.

We are committed to the Disciple Making Movement (DMM) as a framework for discipleship. This movement emphasizes three things. First, multiplication: making disciples who in turn make disciples, creating a multiplying effect that spreads the gospel and builds the kingdom of God. Second, simplicity: focusing on the essential elements of the Christian faith, making them accessible and understandable to all. Third, movement: empowering individuals to take ownership of their faith and to participate actively in spreading the gospel and making disciples.

We believe that the DMM approach aligns with the Great Commission, which urges us to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). This movement has the potential to reshape how we share the gospel and build the church, reaching individuals and communities that traditional methods may not reach.

The Ordinances

Water Baptism

We believe that water baptism is a significant outward expression of an inward transformation that has already taken place in the life of a believer (Colossians 2:12). It is a public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ and a symbol of our identification with His death and resurrection (1 Corinthians 10:2). We hold to believer's baptism, which means that baptism is only for individuals who have made a personal profession of faith in Jesus Christ. This aligns with our understanding of Scripture, which emphasizes the importance of conscious faith and repentance before baptism (Acts 2:38; 8:12).

We believe that baptism by immersion best symbolizes the believer's death to sin and resurrection to new life in Christ (Romans 6:4). Immersion signifies the complete washing away of the old life and the emergence of a new creation in Christ. While we respect the practice of infant baptism in some traditions, we do not believe it aligns with the biblical model. Baptism should be a conscious choice made by individuals who understand its significance and are ready to commit their lives to following Jesus.

The Lord's Supper

We believe that the Lord's Supper is a powerful and significant event in the life of every believer. It serves as a tangible reminder of the sacrifice of Christ on the cross and of the redemption He has secured for us through His death and resurrection.

At its core, the Lord's Supper is a shared meal among believers, where we come together to reflect on the love and grace of God demonstrated through the cross. It is a time of fellowship, unity, and remembrance, as we break bread and drink the cup in memory of our Savior (1 Corinthians 11:23-26). The symbols of the bread and the cup point us to the body and blood of Christ, which were given for our salvation.

We approach the Lord's Supper with a heart of reverence and self-examination, as Paul exhorts in 1 Corinthians 11:27-32. We come before the Lord with a humble and contrite spirit, confessing our sins and seeking His forgiveness. If there are unresolved conflicts or issues with fellow believers, it is essential to address these before partaking in the Lord's Supper (Matthew 5:23-24).

The Lord's Supper is a sacred moment where we come into the presence of God by the power of the Holy Spirit, united as His body, and celebrate the victory that Christ has won for us. It is a foretaste of the heavenly banquet that awaits us, where we will feast with our Lord and Savior for all eternity.

Eschatology

We believe that eschatology is the study of the last things to come. It begins with the first coming of Jesus Christ in human flesh, according to the Scriptures (Hebrews 1:1-3). Next comes the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and His ascension to the Father, so that the promised Holy Spirit might come (Joel 2:28-29; Acts 2:1-4). The blessed hope of the second coming of Christ on the Last Day is spoken of throughout the Scriptures, when evil will cease to exist and God will restore the world to its prelapsarian state, the condition of creation before the fall.
