HOW TO APPLY

WE BELIEVE:

One Holy God
Eternally existent in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ
Virgin-born Son of God. Crucified to take upon Himself the punishment for the sin of all mankind. Arose from the dead, thereby conquering sin, death and the grave. Jesus will personally return to the earth in power and glory.

Holy Spirit
Indwells those who receive Christ and empowers believers to live righteous and holy lives. We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit along with its evidences, and the Gifts of the Spirit are available to believers today.

The Holy Bible
The inspired, infallible, authoritative source of Christian belief and teaching.

Man
Created in the image of God but fallen, lost and powerless to save himself.

Man’s Only Hope
Believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

What We Celebrate
Water Baptism and Holy Communion are among the ways we celebrate our hope in Jesus Christ.

Healing
Consistent with His earthly ministry, Jesus Christ still offers healing for the physical, relational and emotional pain in our lives.

Lifestyle
When a life is changed by the love of Christ, we begin a journey of becoming like Christ. It is displayed inwardly with love, joy, and peace. It is displayed outwardly in lives of integrity and is shown relationally by love & grace.

Someday
Life, as we know it, will come to an end. Jesus will return and show Himself to be “King of Kings.” Everyone will be held accountable for the choices of their lives. A permanent, personal relationship with God, without the influence of evil and pain will be established for all who chose Christ. (Heaven)

The Church
The Body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head, is comprised of all those who, through belief in Christ, have been spiritually changed by the personal work of the Holy Spirit. Believers are called to pursue God’s mission, both collectively and individually. For some it is a vocation (pastors, missionaries, etc.) for all it is a passion.

  team gatherings, events, trainings, and class time.

  things as:

  pornography [“marriage” being defined as the union of one biological man and one
  biological woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture (Genesis 2:18-
  25)]).
  I will abstain from sinful behaviors that would cause Christ to grieve and others to
  stumble.
