What we Believe

core beliefs

The following doctrines unite us with the historical, biblical, worldwide church established by Jesus Christ: 

  • We believe in one God, almighty creator of heaven and earth, eternally existing as three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – equal in power and glory. 

  • We believe in the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ, God's Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived without sin, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died for our sins, was buried, and descended to the dead. On the third day he rose from the dead. He ascended to heaven where he is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead and establish His kingdom once and for all in the earth. 

  • We believe God, who is love, offers eternal life by grace through faith to all who repent and believe on Jesus. 

  • We believe the Bible is divinely inspired by God, reliable, authoritative, and useful for spiritual growth. 

  • We believe in one holy Christian church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting in the age to come.


what makes us unique

The following distinctives reflect our embrace of the charismatic, evangelical, and egalitarian expressions within the church:


  • The baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues

  • The active supernatural gifts of the Spirit such as prophecy, healing, and interpretation of tongues

  • The supremacy of Christ's Kingdom over nationalism and politics

  • The calling of both women and men to preach and lead in ministry

  • The New Testament model for marriage as a covenantal, mutually submitted relationship between one man and one woman
