Doctrine

The Bible is the infallible Word of God. It is our final authority in all matters of doctrine, faith, and life.

God is eternal and exists in perfect unity as the Holy Trinity – He is God, the Father; God, the Son; and God, the Holy Spirit. He is the All-Powerful Creator and Sovereign Ruler of all that exists.

Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. In coming to earth, He was fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life and thereby was an acceptable sacrifice for the full payment of mankind’s sin. He now sits at God’s right hand in "resurrection victory" and is "coming again" for the Church and to Reign on the earth.

Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, "convicts" the world of the sin of rejecting Jesus Christ. He then "regenerates," "baptizes," "indwells," and "seals" every person who believes in Jesus Christ. "All" of the Holy Spirit is received at the moment of salvation and He afterward "fills" the Christian by submission.

Mankind, created in the "image" of God, lost perfect standing with God because of rebellion and became a helpless slave to sin, self, and Satan. Mankind is powerless to change this "separation" from God. Mankind’s destiny is either bodily resurrection and blessing in Christ, or bodily resurrection and judgment without Christ.

Salvation is by the work of Jesus Christ alone! On the cross of Calvary, God carried out the full penalty of sin upon His own Son. JESUS TOOK OUR PLACE! He was our substitute. The resurrection proves God’s "satisfaction" with what Jesus did. Salvation is a free gift to all who place their faith in Christ.

The Church is composed of all Believers in Christ and is God’s chosen vehicle of ministry in this age. Every Christian should be part of a "local Church" for instruction, worship, fellowship, and ministry. The Church’s future is "Rapture" into His presence to be His "Bride" for all eternity!
