Statement of Faith

1.GOD
We teach in the one true and living God, creator of all things, who is holy, sovereign, eternal, existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
All three Persons have the same nature, attributes and perfections, but each exists separately, yet are one. 

2. GOD THE FATHER 

We teach in God the Father, is the first person of the Trinity, who brought all things into existence by His will. As the only absolute and omnipotent Ruler in the universe, He is sovereign over all things. In His sovereignty He is neither the author nor approver of sin. He is the sustainer, provider, designer and initiator of the plan of Salvation. He gave His one and only Son to be the Saviour of all mankind. 

3. JESUS CHRIST

We teach that Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity, the eternal Son of God, is Lord of all. That he possesses all the same Divine qualities, aspects, and characteristics of the Godhead. Equal in every way to God. That he became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men. This redemption was accomplished through His atoning death and shed blood upon the cross, a payment for our sin. We teach in His literal, physical resurrection from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God the Father.

4. THE HOLY SPIRIT

We teach that the Holy Spirit, is the third Person of the Trinity of God. That he is far more then a mere force. Possessing all the attributes of personality and deity, including intellect, emotions, will, eternality, omnipresence , omniscience, omnipotence, and truthfulness, That He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration and sanctification, indwelling equally and permanently every believer and sealing him unto the day of redemption. We teach that the Holy Spirit administers spiritual gifts to the body of believers. The Holy Spirit glorifies neither Himself nor His gifts by grand displays, but He does glorify Christ by implementing His work of redeeming the lost and building up believers in their faith.

5. THE BIBLE/SCRIPTURES

We teach the Bible is the complete revealed Word of God, – that the entire 66 books as originally written, comprising the Old and New Testaments were inspired by the Holy Spirit, and are entirely free from error, and that the Bible is the final and only authority in all matters of Spiritual Life, Salvation, The Christian Faith and Christian Life. 

We teach that the Masoretic Text of the Old Testament and the Textus Receptus of the New Testament are the preserved Word of God. It is our practice to exclusively use the King James Version. 

6. SALVATION

We teach that salvation is the gift of God brought to sinful man by grace and received solely by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Any and all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood for them. We reject all other theories, philosophies, and theologies that are inconsistent with this Biblical truth. 

We conclude that Christ died for all men and that salvation is appropriated by an individual profession of faith in the Jesus Christ revealed in scripture. 

We teach that all who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit, are then adopted, and then considered children of God, and are secured eternally.

We teach that all redeemed believers, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever. 

7. SANCTIFICATION

We teach that every believer is sanctified (set apart) unto God by justification and is therefore declared to be holy in their standing before God, and therefore identified as a saint. This sanctification has to do with the believer’s overall standing before God, not their present walk or condition.

We also teach, that through obedience to the Word of God and the empowering of the Holy Spirit, that a believer is progressively sanctified. Able to live a life of increasing holiness, as they strive to be Christ-Like. This progression is a constant growth, until one is gloried in death. We reject any idea of sinless perfection in this life.
 

8. SEPARATION

We teach that separation from sin is clearly taught throughout scripture. That this should be the goal of all believers. Out of a deep gratitude towards Gods saving grace, redeeming us from sin, the saved should strive to live in such a manner as to demonstrate their adoring love to God and not to bring reproach upon our Lord and Savior. We teach that all believers should live separate from the world’s vain philosophies, beliefs, and practices when they contradict scripture. 

We also teach separation from all religious heresy, apostasy and significant doctrinal error. We stand in opposition to Ecumenical Movements and any Ministerial cooperation between churches or ministries who do not share the same doctrinal beliefs. 

9. THE CHURCH

We teach that the Universal Church as a whole, is the assembly of all the Believers of Jesus Christ. That Jesus Christ is the head of the Church, His Church, and we belong to him. We teach that the universal church is then divided into smaller assemblies of localized believers. That gather regularly together for Worship, teaching, service, ministry, missions and fellowship. 

We teach that there are only two ordinances for the church to regularly observe. 

a)Believers Baptism - Full bodily immersion in Water. Whereby a Believer makes a public profession of faith in Christ . Fulfilling Christ's command, and identifying with Him in His death, burial and resurrection.

b)Communion - A memorial feast whereby believers partake of the elements of bread and wine, which symbolize the Lord’s body given and His blood shed for sin.

Participation is a proclamation of identity with Him, remembering His work upon the cross, His death and His Resurrection. Observed regularly until His return.

10. RETURN OF CHRIST

We teach in a coming rapture of believers, closing this current age.

We teach in a coming period of tribulation upon the earth, whereby the Anti-Christ shall be revealed. This tribulation time will be climaxed by the literal return of the Lord Jesus Christ in bodily form. We teach he will overthrow all rulers and authorities, and institute himself as supreme ruler of all. King of Kings and Lord of Lords. That he will reign over his Literal Kingdom here on earth, for a millennium. 

11. CREATION

We teach in the direct and instantaneous creation of all things in six literal, twenty four hour days. We reject the idea of Macro, and Theistic-Evolution. But do believe in the changing diversities within the confines of their Kind.

12. MARRIAGE

We Teach, that the term “marriage” is reserved for the covenant relationship between one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others, as ordained by God.
