Who We Are
Our Beliefs
We Believe:
-
In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
-
In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
-
That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
-
That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
-
That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
-
In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
-
Holiness to be God's standard of living for His people.
-
In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
-
In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
-
In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
-
Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
-
In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet.
-
In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
-
In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
Our Vision
We exist so that all people will experience real love through new life in Jesus.
Our Culture
Worship -- We worship him in community and corporately. We will be Spirit led in our worship and believe this is the only way we can truly experience the real love of Jesus. We will not be defined by agendas or limits. We will worship with authenticity and expect an encounter with His Presence.
Purpose -- We love what God has done in us and we strive for what He will do through us. We are a people of purpose and we speak as such, we worship as such, and we operate as such. We value our future rather than clinging to our past. While our past laid a necessary and ever-important foundation, our future is what we will look to.
Mission -- We will always prefer mission over maintenance. We understand that both are needed and will be carried out. Maintenance encompasses our minister to and take care of those who are already connected to this house by way fellowship and care. Mission is our limitless effort to seek out the lost and develop them into faithful and mature Christ followers.
Synergy -- We are a community of all generations. We believe the Kingdom of God to be most effective when every generation praises the name of Jesus together through their work, their worship, and their fellowship. We understand that we are a part of something bigger than ourselves and we are always working together toward that bigger picture.
Faith -- We are dreamers. We will not be confined or defined by our lack or deficiency. Instead, we will operate in a way that encourages bigger dreams and farther reach. We will not shy away from God-sized destiny or vision. We believe that whatever God puts in our hearts to do, He will bring the provision to accomplish it.
