About us
" “Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness the peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you And His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.(Isaiah 60:1-3)

WHAT WE BELIEVE
-
Bible as God’s Word – Inspired, infallible, and authoritative.
-
One True God – Eternally exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Trinity).
-
Jesus Christ – Fully God and fully man; His virgin birth, sinless life, death, resurrection, and ascension.
-
Salvation – By grace through faith in Jesus Christ and His work on the Cross alone.
-
Ordinances – Water baptism and Communion.
-
Baptism in the Holy Spirit – Empowering experience distinct from salvation, with the initial physical evidence of that empowering being speaking in tongues (languages).
-
Sanctification – Lifelong process of becoming more like Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit.
-
Divine Healing – Available through Christ’s atonement (His work upon the Cross).
-
Second Coming of Christ – Imminent, visible return of Jesus to Earth.
-
Final Judgment – Righteous to eternal life (Heaven), wicked to eternal punishment (Hell).
-
New Heavens and New Earth – Eternal dwelling place of believers with God.
