OUR MISSION

We are a community of believers and followers of Jesus Christ that seek to LOVE GOD, LOVE PEOPLE AND SERVE OUR WORLD.

Our success will be measured by John 13:34-35

​

 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

​

our beliefs

We believe in GOD. Revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, He is holy love and light; eternally existent and infinite; Sovereign of the universe; holy in nature, attributes, and purpose; all-powerful, all-knowing, and ever-present .

 

In one GOD—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  

 

That man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually . 

 

That the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin .  

 

That the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.  

 

That our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place .

 

We believe in the inspiration and authority of Scripture. We hold that the Word of GOD is the primary source of revelation for knowing GOD.   

Dr . H. Orton Wiley, who helped shape our theology in our formative years, wrote:  

“We conclude that the Scriptures were given by plenary inspiration . . . in the manner that and to the degree that the Bible becomes the infallible word of GOD, the authoritative Rule of Faith and Practice in the Church”

(Christian Theology, Vol . 1, p. 170).

​

That the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.  

​

We believe in the uniqueness of Jesus Christ . “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me’” (John 14:6). We believe that “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12) .

 

We believe that, subsequent to regeneration, believers are to be entirely sanctified through the work of the Holy Spirit. We further believe that in the work of entire sanctification the believer’s heart is cleansed from all sin and that the believer filled with the Holy Spirit is enabled to love GOD with the whole heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love others as oneself.  We believe that growth in grace and the disciplines of holy living are a lifelong necessity for a life wholly sanctified to the will and purposes of GOD.

 

That believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  

 

That the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers

 

We believe in the Church, “the covenant people of GOD made new in Christ” (Manual, paragraph 15), as the visible expression of GOD's presence and mission in our world.
