- A. W. TOZER

God's Word

We believe the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to  our everyday lives.

2  Timothy  3:15-17,  1  Thessalonians  2:13,  2  Peter  1:21

The One True God

We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three  Persons: God the Father, God the Son,and God the Holy Spirit. He is  totally  loving and completely holy. The Lord Jesus Christ is both God and man and is  the only one who can reconcile us to God. Each time we partake of communion  we remember Jesus lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our  place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.

Isaiah 43:10, Genesis 1:1, Isaiah 43:11, Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, Luke  3:22 Revelation 1:8, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:31, 35, Hebrews 7:26, 1 Peter 2:22, Acts 2:22, 10:38, 1  Corinthians 15:3, 2  Corinthians 5:21, Matthew  28:6,Luke 24:39, 1 Corinthians 6:14, 15:4, Acts 1:9,11, 2:33, Philippians  2:9-11,  Hebrews  1:3

God's Plan For Man

We believe sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our  lives. In order to receive forgiveness we must repent of our sins, believe  in  Jesus Christ and submit to His will for our lives. God wants to heal and  transform us so that we can live healthy and powerful lives in order to  help  others more effectively. In order to live the holy, fruitful, and power-filled lives  God intends for us, we need to be baptized in water, set our mind on  Him  and  His purpose, and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.

God's Plan For The Church

We believe God has individually equipped us and corporately gathered us as His  living body so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives,  which  is  to worship God, strengthen the Church, and share the Gospel with the community  in which we live.

Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:15, Ephesians 1:22-23, 2:22, Hebrews 12:23, Luke 19:10, Revelation 19:10, 22:9, Ephesians 4:12, Acts 1:8, Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 16:15-16, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Ephesians 4:11-16, 1 Corinthians 12:28, 14:12, Mark 16:15-20, Acts 4:29-31, Hebrews 2:3-4, 1 Corinthians 2:10-16, 1 Corinthians 12-14, 1 Corinthians 12:28, 14:12, Galatians 5:22-26, Ephesians 4:11-12, Colossians 1:29

God's Plan For The End Times

We believe the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised and will rule  and reign on this earth. History will conclude as the wicked are judged and  the  righteous enter a new heaven and a new earth.

Romans  8:23, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Titus 2:13
