Our Beliefs
"And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers." — Acts 2:42
Our Beliefs
The Holy Scriptures
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is our supreme and final guide in all matters of faith, conduct, and doctrine.
The Nature of God
The Oneness of God: We believe in the one eternal God, who is indivisible in essence and has revealed Himself as Father in creation, Son in redemption, and the Holy Spirit in the hearts of believers.
The Deity of Jesus Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He is the Word made flesh—the visible image of the invisible God.
Salvation and Rebirth
The New Birth: We believe that salvation is a gift of divine grace, received through faith in the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Repentance and Baptism: We emphasize the biblical mandate for repentance and water baptism by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit: We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a distinct experience for believers, often evidenced by speaking in other tongues and empowered for holy living and service.
The Apostolic Mission
The Five-Fold Ministry: We believe in the restoration and continued operation of the five-fold ministry (Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers) for the equipping of the saints and the building up of the Body of Christ.
Evangelism and Missions: As our name implies, we are committed to the "Missionary Advance." We believe it is the duty of every believer to fulfill the Great Commission, taking the Gospel to every nation through word and deed.
Christian Living and the Future
Holiness: We believe in living a life of holiness, both inwardly and outwardly, as a reflection of God’s nature and a testimony to the world.
Divine Healing: We believe that the healing of the physical body is provided for in the atonement and is a privilege for all believers through the prayer of faith.
The Second Coming: We believe in the personal, imminent, and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to gather His Church and establish His eternal Kingdom.
