Of the Scriptures:
We believe the Holy Bible was written divinely by men but inspired by God. They are a perfect treasure of heavenly instructions and truth without any mixture of error and they also reveal the principles by which God will judge us, and therefore is and shall remain until the end of the world, the true center of Christian unity, and the ultimate standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be established.
Of the True God:
We believe there is one and only one living and true God--an intelligent, spiritual and personal Being. He is the Creator, preserver, and ruler of the universe. God is completely infinite in His holiness, wisdom, and all other perfections to which we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience to. He is revealed to us as the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, each with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, and/or being.
Of the Fall of Man:
We believe man was created by the special act of God, as recorded in Genesis. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them (Genesis 1:27). And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7). He was created in a state of holiness and dominionship under the law of his maker, but through the temptation of Satan, he transgressed the command of God and fell from his original righteousness.
Of the Way of Salvation:
We believe the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace, through the recognition and confession of Jesus Christ who by the Holy Spirit was born of the Virgin Mary and took upon Him our nature yet without sin. His personal obedience created physical, emotional, and spiritual atonement for our sins by His death. We believe the blessings of salvation are made free to all by the gospel. It is the duty of all to accept them by the measure of faith as given. Nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner except his own voluntary refusal to accept Jesus Christ as Teacher, Savior, and Lord. After being risen from the dead, He is now enthroned in Heaven on the right hand side of God as a petitioner for the believers. He is in every way qualified to be a compassionate and all sufficient Savior.
Of Grace in New Birth:
We believe in the New Birth and that is a change of heart inspired by the Holy Spirit, whereby we become partakers of the divine nature of God. We believe that Holiness is achieved through the New Birth which leads to love, forgiveness, and the practice of Righteousness. We also believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues as one of the nine supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit and as expressed in Acts 2:4, when said 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. We believe that speaking in tongues is simply no more than spiritual conversations between the spiritual realm and the natural.
Of Repentance:
We believe repentance is inseparable with the grace of God and His acceptance of our repentance and the displaying of His forgiveness towards us. As believers that may fall, we are deeply convinced of our guilt, danger, helplessness, and of the way of salvation by Christ that we turn to God with contrition, confession, and supplication for mercy promising to avoid the fall again. And the loving God we serve grants us with His never denying love at the same time as we heartily receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our prophet, priest, and king, and relying on Him alone as the only and all sufficient Savior.
Of Gods Purpose of Grace:
We believe Grace is the purpose of God according to how He has delivered, sanctified, and saved sinners. He does not interfere with the salvation of an individual, but through Grace, God displays His sovereign goodness, His infinite wisdom, and how His holiness never changes.
Of Sanctification:
We believe sanctification is the process by which according to the will of God, we are privileged partakers of His holiness and rulership. As believers we walk in sanctification with the continuation of self examination, self denial, and watchfulness. We believe that we are lead by the Holy Spirit and kept by the Comforter through sanctification.
On the Christian Sabbath:
We believe the first day of the week is to be offered symbolically as the first fruit and that is in fact the Lords Holy Day or Christian Sabbath, and is to be kept sacred for purposes of worship, service fellowship and Christian enhancements. We believe that our mid-week service is the indescribable extras of God, believing that we can serve and worship Him on any day and at any time, and He can hear our prayers and worship as He blesses us any day and any time.
Of Stewardship:
We believe God is the source of all blessings, temporal and spiritual; all that we have and are we owe to Him. We have a spiritual debtorship to the whole world, and holy trusteeship to the gospel, and a binding stewardship to our possessions. We are, therefore, under the obligation to serve Him with our time, talents, and material possessions. We should recognize that all of these are entrusted to us to use for the glory of God and helping others. We believe that as stewards of Gods blessings we have been called to be Kingdom Financers to finance the Kingdom though our stewardship and financial blessings.
Of Evangelism and Missions:
We believe it is the duty of every Christian man and woman, and the duty of every Church of Christ to seek to extend the gospel to the outer ends of the earth. Missionary efforts are a spiritual necessity of the New Birth life. It is the duty of every child of God to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by personal efforts and by other methods sanctioned by the gospel of Christ. We believe that we are called to speak to the Nations and that every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that He is Lord, and until that time, we will pursue the harvest of lost souls.
Of the Resurrection:
We believe the Scriptures clearly teach that Jesus rose from the dead. His grave was emptied of its contents. He appeared to the disciples after His resurrection in many convincing manifestations. The purpose of His death was to bring a complete reconciliation (atonement) for the lost to a place of redemption. We believe that the death and the resurrection allowed a physical, spiritual, and emotional atonement. We are able to live in health (physical), dominionship and salvation on earth (spiritual), have peace in our minds and around us (emotional) and be who God has originally called us to be; all through his death and resurrection.
Of the Return of the Lord:
We believe the New Testament teaches in many places the visible and personal return of Jesus to this earth. This same Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as you have seen Him go into heaven Acts (1:11). The time of His coming is not revealed. Of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only (Matthew 24: 36). We as believers are preparing and are in readiness for his coming and are diligently ministering to all men the reality of the soon coming of Jesus Christ the Savior.
Of Faith:
We believe that every man upon receiving salvation from God is given a measure of faith. At that point it is up to us as believers to grow, cultivate, entice, ignite, and incorporate that faith with all that we do in our life. Everything about God is endowed and connected to faith, and with faith believers have a special tool that separates them from all the worries, doubt, concerns, anger, and lies that the non-believer has to face on a daily basis.
