Our Faith and Creed, Our Beliefs

Our Tenant’s of Faith (Adopted from the Nicene Creed 381 A.D)

  • We believe in one God, the Father Almighty Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible:
    God is revealed to us in three distinct persons known as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 5:7-8; Colossians 2:9

  • And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
    the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds;
    God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God;
    begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father,
    by Whom all things were made:
    Who for us men and for our salvation came down from Heaven,
    and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man:
    And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried:
    And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures:
    And ascended into Heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father:
    And he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead:
    Whose Kingdom will have no end.

    John 1:1,14; 3:16; Luke 1:35; Colossians 1:15; 1:20; Hebrew 4:15; I John 3:5; Ephesians 1:20; Hebrews 1:3 & 8:1.

  • And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord, and Giver of Life,
    Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son
    Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified,
    Who spake by the Prophets.

    John 16:8; Acts 2:38; 3:19

  • And I believe in One Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church

    The word “Catholic” means “Universal” or “Whole”. This does not mean we are of the Roman Catholic faith but rather that we believe in the universal or whole Church, whose origins are ancient and historical, going back to the Apostles themselves. Thus, the Church was built upon the faith and witness of the apostles. We believe in one body (the church or family of God) with Christ as the head of the body.

    Matthew 16:18, Colossians 1:18, Ephesians 1:22

  • I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins.

    It is through the rite of baptism we experience subjectively (personally) all that Jesus accomplished for humanity objectively, including what he accomplished through his baptism in the Jordan. What is true objectively, becomes personally experienced (or actualized) in our baptism. It’s one thing to be forgiven, it’s another to experience that forgiveness, and thus have it become effective in our personal lives.

    Matthew 3:15; Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 8:36,37; 1 Peter 3:21

  • And I look for the Resurrection of the Dead:
    And the Life of the world to come. Amen.

    This includes the literal rule of Christ upon the earth, the resurrection of the just to eternal life and the unjust to eternal damnation, and the ultimate victory of the eternal Kingdom of God.

    Acts 1:9-11; I Thessalonians 4:16; Acts 24:15; Revelation 22:1-7.

Our Beliefs

  • The bible is absolutely inspired by the Holy Spirit without error. The entire Bible constitutes the conclusive doctrine of the Christian Faith. Furthermore, we believe that the church has no authority to establish doctrine or practice contrary to these same scriptures, which were accepted as canon by the early Christian Church.


    2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20; Romans 15:4.

  • Through disobedience man was separated from God experiencing both spiritual and physical death. The only hope of regaining his position of relationship with God is through Jesus Christ.


    Psalm 8; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6; 1 Peter 3:18.

  • We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has by His suffering and death made an atonement for the whole world so that whosoever will may be saved. We believe that repentance towards God, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit, are necessary to salvation. We believe that we are justified by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and that he that believeth hath the witness in himself. We believe that continuance in a state of salvation depends upon continued obedient faith in Christ.


    Romans 3:21-25; Ephesians 2:8; Galatians 3:22

  • But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…..

    Galatians 5:22-25


  • They are for the perfecting of believers until the Lord’s return. Furthermore, these ministries are gifts to the local churches for the purpose of equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, the promotion of unity in faith and the overall building up of the Kingdom of God.


    Ephesians 4:11-16; Colossians 1:2

  • We are appointed to implement this provision by the prayer of faith along with the laying on of hands and anointing with oil. We further understand that through His sacrifice believers have been given the answer to man’s total needs.

    Isaiah 53:4, 5; I Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:17; James 5:14; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Romans 8:32.

  • We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning and that is marriage sanctioned by God which joins one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to only occur between a man and a woman who are married to each other. We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.
    We believe that any form of sexual immorality, such as adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, pornography or any attempt to change one’s sex, or disagreement with one’s biological sex, is sinful and offensive to God.

    Genesis 1:27-28; Genesis 2:21-25; 1 Cor 7:2; Matthew 19:4-6; Mark 10:6-9
