What We Believe
We Believe …..
The Bible: We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God, without error in the original languages.
The Trinity: We believe the one true God manifests himself in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Deity of Jesus Christ: We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His resurrection, His complete conquest over the powers of Satan, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His imminent return in like manner as He went away.
Salvation: We believe that the new birth is essential for salvation and that this salvation is wholly by grace through faith.
The Church: We believe the church consists of all those who truly believe in Jesus Christ and in His atoning death, and who trust in Him as their personal Lord and Savior.
The Holy Spirit: We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling, born again Christians are enabled to live Godly lives.
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit: We believe in a second experience following the new birth, which is referred to as the baptism of the Holy Spirit, or the infilling of the Holy Spirit. This experience is not required for the new birth but is pertinent to living a successful and impactful life in Christ. (Matthew 3:11 & Acts 2:4)
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit: We believe that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12 are available and operational in the body of Christ today.
Healing: We believe that redemption was provided for the spirit, soul, and body in the atonement of Jesus Christ.
Baptism and Holy Communion: We believe in the ordinance of Baptism in water (by immersion) in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, on the authority of Jesus name. We also believe in the ordinance of Holy Communion.
Heaven and Hell: We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they are lost unto eternal damnation; they that are saved unto eternal life.
The Four Pillars Of Our Mission
WORD
We teach the Word of God in practical, relevant, teaching styles to impact lives around the world. We are known as a source for solid Biblical teaching that is easy to understand and practical for daily living. Listen in on a service.
WORSHIP
Simply put, worship is pleasing God. It’s what we were born to do. We worship God both through our lives and when we come together each week. One way we do that is through music. With the power to affect young and old, music helps turn hearts toward God.
GENERATIONS
We’re partnering with families in training up the next generation. From six weeks old to college-age students, we have a place for every age to find a personal connection with God and grow in that relationship.
MISSIONS
Through community and world missions, we provide opportunities for the love of Christ to be shared all over the world through prayer and resources.
Salvation
You don’t have to wonder whether or not you’re right with God. You can know that you have eternal life! We invite you to pray this simple prayer from your heart:
Dear God, I believe that Jesus died on the Cross, that He shed His precious blood and paid for my sins. I receive Your forgiveness for all my sins. I believe that Jesus rose from the dead, victorious over death, sin, and the devil. I turn my back on my old ways, and I receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I’m not going to live to please myself any longer. I’m going to live for Him every day. Jesus, I am Yours, now and forever! Heavenly Father, thank You for hearing my prayer. My past is gone, my sins are forgiven, I am Your child, and part of your eternal kingdom – in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you just received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, Pastor Duane wants to include you in his prayers and send you a download of his book, “YOUR NEW LIFE”. If you are unsure of your salvation, know this:
John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life.”
