Our Vision
Isaiah 61: 1 - 3.
1: The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.
2: To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3: To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.
4: To minister to the spirit, soul, and the body of the total human being regardless of color, race, tribe, ethnicity, or religion. Jesus Christ came for all.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
THE GODHEAD
We believe in one God, creator and ruler of the universe, eternally co-existing in Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. Isaiah 37:16 "O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth."
THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible to be the inspired and the only infallible Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16 "All scriptures is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
We believe in the virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His shed blood, in his bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and great glory. Matthew 1:23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with a child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel" which is translated, "God with us."
WATER BAPTISM
We believe in baptism by immersion in water, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as being an additional impartation which empowers believers to be an effective witnesses. We believe, acknowledge, encourage, and actively seek all the gifts of the Holy Spirit as a mean of propagating the gospel with mighty miracles, signs and wonders, and equipping the saints of God. Matthew 3:11 "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." Acts 2:2-4 "And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
HEAVEN AND HELL
We believe in Heaven and Hell, in the resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked; the righteous will resurrect unto life eternal in Heaven and the wicked unto resurrection of damnation in Hell. Luke 16:23 "And being in torments in Hell, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom."
