Our Statement of Faith defines our beliefs and confidence in God; upon which
we base our declarations and actions.
1. We believe, declare and live in the confidence that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Lucifer fell from heaven in rebellion, becoming Satan, our adversary. Adam and Eve, created to rule on the earth, fell in sin and brought the curse of death on the human race.
2. We believe, declare and live in the confidence that Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, came from heaven to earth to reveal the kingdom of God, die for all sinners on the cross, rise from the dead, rule with God over heaven and earth, establish His church on the earth, and that He will reign as Lord of lords and King of kings in a new creation forever.
3. We believe, declare and live in the confidence that according to the
word of God we are spiritually born again, converted from the power of sin
to the power of God by the Holy Spirit, made saints, by the confession of
Jesus Christ as Lord and in our belief that God raised Him from the dead.
4. We believe, declare and live in the confidence that we now live in
conflict with the devil on the earth. That we are more than conquerors through
Jesus Christ who has defeated Satan, sin, sickness and death at Calvary's
Cross and has given us His Holy Spirit power to reign and overcome. As it is
written, “The God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly."”
5. We believe, declare and live in the confidence that we will overcome the temptation to sin. We choose to resist the devil, who flees from the declaration of the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. And, that if we do sin, God is faithful to forgive us as we confess our sins and return to His righteous ways.
6. We believe, declare and live in the confidence that Jesus, the Christ,
has overcome on earth for us. We cast all of our cares on Him. We repent of
sin, renounce the works of the flesh, and break the yoke of sin in the
power, authority, and name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
7. We believe, declare and live in the confidence that the Lord wants our
complete submission and obedience to Him, His Word and His Spirit.
8. We believe, declare and live in the confidence that all relationships
will be maintained in love and obedience to the word of God. We will
surrender all judgment to God with those who have hurt us. We will
separate ourselves from all sin and from all unrepentant sinners.
We will love everyone, because God is love and we will hate sin.
9. We believe, declare and live in the confidence that all our resources
are from God. We will tithe and give regularly for the support of the church,
and we will keep everything we have on earth surrendered to God.
10. We believe, declare and live in the confidence that we are a people of
faith in the Living God, in His only begotten Son, Jesus, the Christ, and
in His Holy Spirit
11. We believe, declare and live in the confidence that God is Love, and
that His love is manifest on earth in the lives, witnesses and testimonies
of the people of God. We therefore will love God, His Son, His Spirit, all of
His children, and all those yet to be redeemed.
12. We believe, declare and live in the confidence that our testimony of
Jesus, the Christ, is absolutely essential in revealing Him to the people of
earth and in overcoming evil. Our words and our lives will reveal the Father’s love,
the Lord Jesus Christ’s obedience, and the victorious power of the Holy Sprit in us.
