(Please click on the above links for more detailed information about our ministry) ~ Ministry Position ~ 1. God and Creation
~
We believe in one GOD, creator and sustainer of all
things, infinitely perfect, holy, righteous and eternally co-existing in
three persons
the FATHER, the SON, and
the HOLY SPIRIT who are omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent (John
1:1-5, Genesis 1, Revelation 19:6). 2. God the Father
~
We believe in GOD the Father, who is infinite,
perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, mercy, justice and love. That the
FATHER sent HIS SON to the world so that HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST, would
reconcile all things back to HIM! HE is the FATHER of all mankind and HE
hears and answers prayer (Isaiah
9:6-7, Psalm 65:1-2, Colossians 1:19-20, John 3:16). 3. Jesus Christ the Son ~ We believe JESUS CHRIST is GOD, and that HE is GOD's only begotten SON, conceived by the seed of the HOLY SPIRIT, born of a virgin, fully human, lived a sinless life, performed miracles and infallibly taught, lived and is the Word of GOD from the beginning. We believe JESUS CHRIST is the only mediator between God and mankind (John 1). 4. Atonement ~ We believe the crucifixion death of YESHUA provides for the atonement of our sins and HIS bodily resurrection provides the only ground for justification, forgiveness, and salvation for all who believe that HE is the SON of GOD (Revelation 5:9, Romans 10:9-10). 5. Salvation ~ We believe that accepting and confessing YESHUA as the only begotten SON of GOD, repenting of our sins and receiving HIS forgiveness results in the rebirthing of our spirit (Galatians 3:19, 1 John 3:9, Romans 5:10, Philippians 1:6, John 1:12, John 3:5, I John 5:11-13). 6. Resurrection ~ We believe YESHUA resurrected from the dead and ascended into Heaven and sits at the right hand of ADONAI, ABBA FATHER, forever making intercession for HIS people (I Peter 1:3-5).
7.
Second
Coming
~ We believe in the literal, physical, personal, and
visible return of YESHUA, OUR KING to the Earth and the establishment of HIS
Kingdom, which has no end (Revelation 19:11-16). 8. Holy Spirit ~ We believe the HOLY SPIRIT is GOD. HE came forth from the FATHER and the SON as the Spirit of Truth and HE teaches, comforts, guides and convicts believers. HE indwells everyone who believes and confesses JESUS CHRIST as his or her LORD and SAVIOR (I John 5:7, I Corinthians 2:1-13, John 16:13-14). 9.
Scripture Authority ~
We believe the Scriptures (the Holy Bible including
both the Old and New Testament) are the inspired Words of GOD.
JESUS is the Word of GOD (Hebrews 4:12, John 1:1, II Timothy
3:16). 10. Communion ~
We believe and acknowledge the new covenant of the LORD's
Supper in remembrance of JESUS CHRIST and HIS crucifixion for the atonement for
our sins. Partaking of the LORD's Supper corporately demonstrates our
relationship with each other as the Body of CHRIST (Luke 22:14-21, Matthew 26:26-28, Mark 14:22-24). 11. Water Baptism ~ We
believe in water baptism by immersion after committing to the
LORDSHIP of JESUS and HIS atoning sacrifice for our sin. This commitment
to follow HIS example is a personal and public statement of our faith in
the death, burial, and resurrection of JESUS CHRIST for us (Matthew
3:13-17, Mark 16:15-18, Matthew 28:19,
Acts 2:38-39, Galatians 3:26-29, Acts 22:16). 12. Baptism in the Holy Spirit ~ We
believe in the Baptism in the HOLY SPIRIT as an impartation, which
empowers, strengthens, comforts, and is usually accompanied by the
manifestations of the gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT in the believer's life.
These gifts are available to all who believe. We accept, acknowledge,
encourage and seek all of the biblical gifts and ministries of the HOLY
SPIRIT, which are present, active and vital in the body of CHRIST
(Mark
16:17, Acts 2:1-5,
Acts 8:14-17,
Galatians 5:16-29). 13. Healing and Deliverance ~ We believe in supernatural healing and restoration. We agree with the works of JESUS on earth and believe that HIS resurrection power is available to believers today (Mark 16:18, Acts 13:2-3, II Timothy 1:6, Acts 5:12, Mark 16:13, Acts 9:11-12, Luke 10:17, Luke 10:9, Acts 16:8, John 5:6-9). 14. Praise, Prayer and Worship ~ We believe and value Praise, Prayer and Worship as means to communicate our faith, desires, thoughts and needs to the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY through the name of JESUS CHRIST (Psalm 149, Psalm 150, Ephesians 6:10-18, Isaiah 30:29-32, Luke 11:1-4, Acts 16:25). 15. Faith
~ We
believe faith is the substance of things spoken to each believer by the
HOLY SPIRIT and that HE will bring to pass what HE speaks to each
believer. “Now faith is
the title deed, the substance, the assurance of things hoped for, the
proof of things which are not being seen” (Hebrews 11:1). As
we trust GOD's infinitely kind and generous nature, we grow in our faith
understanding that all things eternal happen through faith in GOD (Hebrews 11,
Psalm 63, Luke 17:5-6, James 5:13-18).
17.
Honor,
Bless and Pray for Israel ~ We believe the Biblical view for every Christian is to
honor, bless and pray for the nation of Israel and the Jewish People
since they were the national avenue by which messianic blessing came to
mankind. The Scriptures teach us to pray for the "Peace of
Jerusalem"
(Romans
9:4-5, Romans 10:1, Romans 1:16-17, Psalm 122:6, Revelation 19:10).
