We remain a place where we Focus on Jesus!

Why We Exist

We exist to be a light in the darkness and to make a positive impact on our world. We are called to proclaim the whole gospel of Jesus Christ, to minister to the needs of the community, and to demonstrate the all-encompassing love of God. To submit our lives to the divine leadership of the Lord Jesus; creating and maintaining a climate that enhances the growth of all members into the fullness of Christ.

We aim to foster an environment for unity, empowerment, growth and spiritual renewal through expository teachings and equipping individuals with practical tools for living out their faith in Christ.

Faith

The Bible
Our belief is that the Bible is the infallible and authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16; Ephesians 3:5; 2 Peter 3:2).
God is one
We believe that there is only one God, who was “manifest (revealed) in the flesh” in the person of Jesus Christ (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Timothy 3:16; John 14:9).
Salvation
Our conviction is that salvation is only found in Jesus Christ and is appropriated to humanity by God’s grace through the New Testament new-birth experience (Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8; John 3:3-7).
Being Born Again
We believe that the new-birth experience is comprised of repentance, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. This is the New Testament pattern for all believers to follow as a result of their faith in Christ (Acts 2:38; Luke 13:1-5; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:5-6).
The Holy Spirit
Our belief is that when a person receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit, that person will speak with other tongues under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4; Acts 19:6; Isaiah 28:11).
The Holy Spirit
Our belief is that when a person receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit, that person will speak with other tongues under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4; Acts 19:6; Isaiah 28:11).
Holy Living
We believe that God’s people are called to live a holy, pure life before God and all humanity (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1; Hebrews 12:14).
The Name of Jesus
Our belief is that the authority of God is vested in the Name of Jesus (Philippians 2:9-10; Matthew 7:22; Mark 16:7; John 14:14; Acts 4:12). All the believer does “in word or deed” is to be done in Jesus’ Name (Colossians 3:17). The Name of Jesus becomes our new “family name” (1 Corinthians 1:12-15; Romans 6:4: 2 Corinthians 5:17).
The second coming
We believe that the church will be raptured by Christ and will be with Him forever in eternity (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18; 1 Corinthians 15: 51-52; 1 Thessalonians 1:10).
Miracles
Our belief is that God’s power is still active in the church and that healings, signs, and miracles are available to God’s people through faith in Jesus Christ (Hebrews 13:8; 1 Corinthians 2:4; 1 Peter 2:24).
