What we believe

Our Creed

  1. We believe in the creation of the world and mankind by God (Gen. 1:1-29, Gen. 2:6, 18-25).

  2. We believe in original sin which was passed down to mankind by Adam defiling all subsequent generations (Gen. 3:1-24, Romans 5:12, 14).

  3. We believe in the existence of the Trinity (the deity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit), the three in one (Gen. 1:1-3, 26, Matt. 3:16-17, John 14:26, John 15:26, Matt. 28:19, II Cor. 13:14).

  4. We believe in the virgin birth (Matt. 1:18-21, Luke 1:26-38, Luke 2:1-7).

  5. We believe in the incarnation, God becoming flesh embodied in his Son Jesus Christ, who was born as babe, lived on the earth as a man, led a sinless life for 33 years, was crucified as the sacrifice for the sins of mankind and was resurrected on the third day. (Josh. 7:14, Matt. 1:18-21, Luke 1:26-38, Luke 2:1-7, John 1:14, I John 4:2, Gal. 4:4, Romans 5:6-8, St. Matt. 27:50, I Cor. 15:3-8, I Cor. 15:12-22).

  6. We believe in the ascension of Jesus Christ back into heaven (Mark 16:19, Luke 23:50, Eph. 4:8-10, Acts 1:9-11, I Cor. 15:4).

  7. We believe the church (the physical members) to be the Spiritual Body of the Lord Jesus Christ, over which Christ is the Head (Matt. 16:18-19, Matt: 18:17, Eph. 2:19-22, Eph. 4:4-6, 11-16).

  8. We believe in salvation by grace through faith and repentance for the forgiveness of sins through the name of Jesus Christ alone (John 3:16, Romans 5:8, 15, Romans 8:27, Romans 10:9-10, Eph. 2:4-5, 8, Acts 3:19, Acts 4:12, Acts 15:11).

  9. We believe justification and the continuous work of sanctification through the blood of Jesus Christ and the word of God (Romans 3:24, Romans 5:12-21, Romans 8:27, I Thess. 5:23, Hebrews 2:11, I Peter 1:2, John 17:17, 19, Hebrews 9:11-14).

  10. We believe in baptism (complete emersion) in water in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as an outward symbol of an inner changed heart and life (St. Matt. 28:19-20, Mark 16:15-16, Acts 8:12, 36-38, Acts 10:47-48, Acts 18:8, Acts 1:5).

  11. We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues (Acts 1:5, 8, Acts 2:1-4, Acts 4:31, Acts 10:44-47, Acts 11:15, John 16:13).

  12. We believe in the rapture of the church and the second coming of Jesus Christ to judge the world of sin (I Thess. 4:16-18, I Cor. 15:35-45, 50-55, St. Matt 24:31, Matt. 24:14, 27, 30, 36-42, 44-45).

  13. We believe in the Tribulation Period (seven years) after the rapture of the church during which time the Anti-Christ will arise, rule and eventually be destroyed by the Lord Jesus Christ at his Second Coming at Armageddon (Matt. 24:21, Daniel 12:1, Rev. 7:14, I John 2:18, 22, 4:3, 2 Thess 2:3-4, Isaiah 11:4, Daniel 7:11, Rev. 13, Rev. 19:20-21).

  14. We believe in the millennium (1,000 years) reign of Jesus Christ on the earth after Armageddon during which time Satan will be bound, the final destruction of Satan and the final establishment of the New Jerusalem on earth forever and ever as stated in scripture (Isaiah 24:21-23, Rev. 20:1-5, Matt. 25:41, Rev. 20:7-10, Rev. 21, Rev. 22:3-5)
