Our Beliefs



We believe that there should be unity in essentials; diversity in non-essentials; and in all things love. The following are our essential beliefs:

Inspiration of Scriptures: We believe in the verbal inspiration of the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments by the Holy Spirit as originally given; they are the final authority for our faith and life. (II Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12)


God: We believe in one God revealed in three coequal, distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19-20; Ephesians 2:18)

Man: We believe that man in his natural state is a sinner, lost, undone, without hope and without God. (Ephesians 2:1-2; Romans 3:23)

Divinity and Humanity of Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God who by his incarnation and virgin birth took upon Himself the form of man and became the God-Man. In the one person of Christ, there are two natures, human and divine, each in its completeness and integrity. so that He is fully man and fully God. He lived a sinless life and became the only sacrifice for the sins of the world. (Ephesians 1:3-5; Romans 5:1-11; Acts 12:4; 1 Peter 1:18-19)

Bodily Resurrection: We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Luke 24:38-43; John 20:24-29)

Salvation: We believe that terms of salvation are repentance towards God for sin and a personal heart-felt faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, which results in regeneration. This salvation is entirely by grace and not by works. (Ephesians 2:6-10; Romans 5:1; Acts 3:19-20)

The Kingdom of God: We believe that the Kingdom of God will be established on the earth by God through His Church prior to the return of Jesus. (Psalm 110:1; Daniel 2:34-35; Isaiah 9:6-7; Daniel 7:13-14)

Second Coming: We believe in the visible, bodily return of Christ to this earth to judge the world and to claim His Bride. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Acts 1:10-11)

Church: We believe that the Church is Christ’s spiritual body on earth today. It consists of born-again believers and has both universal and local expressions. (Matthew 16:18; Acts 20:28)

Heaven and Hell: We believe in the doctrines of eternal punishment for the lost and eternal bliss and service for the saved; hell for the unsaved and heaven for the saved. (John 14:1-3; Revelation 20:11-15)

Satan: We believe that Satan is a fallen, created being who is the “god of this world.” He and his well-organized company of demons are opposed to the Kingdom of God and work to defeat and destroy the believer. While his activity is real, Satan and his demon spirits were defeated and overthrown by Christ’s victory at the cross, and Christians can and should exercise authority over them. (Luke 10:17-20; Colossians 2:13-15; Ephesians 6:10-18)

Holy Spirit: We believe the Holy Spirit to be the third Person of the Godhead who is active in the world today. The Spirit indwells and seals the believer at new birth. We believe the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a subsequent experience and is available to all Christians to empower us to be witnesses. We believe in, and encourage, the use of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. (John 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1-4; Acts 8:14-17; Acts 10:44-46; Ephesians 5:18)

Ordinances: We believe that believer’s Water Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances of the church and should be practiced regularly. (Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-10; 1 Corinthians 10:16-21)

If you are in Christ, you should be living a victorious life. Not because of hype or wishful thinking, but because of what Jesus accomplished on the cross. As 1 Corinthians 15:57 reminds us, the victory belongs to God and is given to us through Jesus Christ.

This Sunday, we unpacked four keys to walking in that victory: the assurance of salvation, taking steps to freedom, allowing God to transform your mind, and putting on the full armor of God. True freedom is not automatic. It requires action, surrender, and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth.

If you have been dragging baggage you were never meant to carry, there is a path forward. We want to walk alongside you. Join us and discover what it means to truly live free in Christ.

What does it mean to truly lead your family? In our final message of the Love Lessons from the King series, we were challenged by Joshua 24:15: "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." That is not just a wall sign. It is a standard to live by.

Serving God is the measuring stick of a transformed life. Jesus himself came not to be served but to serve, as Matthew 20:26-28 reminds us. Husbands and fathers, the question was put plainly this morning: when God looks at your home, will He find a man standing in the gap?

When the enemy comes in like a flood, Isaiah 59:19 tells us the Spirit of the Lord will raise a standard against him. But you cannot raise His standard if you do not live by His standard. The call is simple — lead by example, partner with your wife, train your children, and answer the call.

Here I am, Lord. Send me.

Great marriages aren't found—they are built. In this powerful message from our Love Lessons from the King series, we explored what it truly means to grow together, not apart. Like two kayakers who stop paddling and drift away from each other, marriages can quietly fall apart when we stop being intentional.

Drawing from the story of Isaac and Rebekah in Genesis 24-25 and the timeless truth of Ephesians 5:31-33, we were reminded that God designed marriage to reflect His own unity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. When we keep God first, love and respect each other, and make our spouse a genuine priority, nothing can tear us apart.

As the message said, "You don't accidentally grow together, but you can accidentally grow apart." The time to fight for your marriage is now. Pray together, set aside time together, and seek God's direction every day.

Watch or listen to the full message and be encouraged.

God designed the family — and that design still matters today. Before nations, before governments, even before the church, God established the family as his first and most important institution. The enemy has always known this, which is why the attack on the family has never stopped.

This week's message, "Kingdom Family," takes us back to Genesis to rediscover God's original purpose for the family: to have dominion, reflect his image, and reproduce his character in every generation. As Ephesians 6:1 reminds us, obedience within the family is not just a rule — it is right.

Whether your family looks whole or broken right now, today is a new day. Healing is possible. It starts with returning to God's design.

Watch or join us and be reminded why your family is your history and your future.

What makes a marriage unbreakable? It is not just communication or compatibility. It is unity, and more importantly, it is God in the center.

This week's message from Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 reminded us that a cord of three strands is not easily broken. When God is the third strand in your marriage or any relationship, no trial, no financial pressure, no season of distance can sever what He holds together. Two are better than one, but three is where the real strength lives.

If you have been trying to do marriage or life on your own, today is the day to invite God back to the center. It is never too late to renew your commitment and let Him be the binder.

Watch or join us as we continue the Love Lessons from the King series. You do not want to miss what is ahead.

Many churches avoid the topic of divorce, but God's Word does not. This week's message tackled one of the most misunderstood subjects in the church today — and the truth is both challenging and deeply freeing.

Scripture is clear: divorce is not the unpardonable sin. Jesus identified the one unpardonable sin in Matthew 12:31, and divorce is not it. First John 1:9 reminds us that God forgives and cleanses us from all unrighteousness — and that word "all" means exactly what it says.

Whether you have walked through divorce yourself or know someone who has, God's heart is not condemnation — it is restoration. As 1 Corinthians 7:15 reminds us, God has called us to peace. No guilt, no shame, no baggage has to follow you out the door.

If this message speaks to something you have been carrying, we invite you to watch or join us. You do not have to leave with what you came in with.

What would it look like to carry the most powerful message in history and never share it? That is the challenge at the heart of this week's message, "Unashamed," drawn from Romans 1:16, where Paul declares he is not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God for salvation to all who believe.

Pastor Vincent walked us through three marks of someone who lives unashamed: purpose, passion, and power. Like the Apostle Paul, who endured beatings, shipwrecks, and imprisonment yet never stopped preaching, we are called to pursue our God-given assignment with everything in us.

The gospel transformed your life. Do you believe it has the power to transform someone else's? The power has been there the whole time. The question is whether we are connected to the source.

Share this with someone who needs to hear it.

Is your faith active or just a claim? This powerful message from James 2:20-26 challenges us to examine whether our faith is truly alive and working.

Pastor reminds us that faith without works isn't just incomplete—it's dead and useless. James uses two incredible examples: Abraham, who was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac, and Rahab, a Gentile pr******te who helped God's people. Both demonstrated a living faith through their actions. Their works didn't earn salvation, but they proved their faith was genuine.

Here's the truth: if you truly believe in God, you'll do what He asks. Your faith should produce transformation, not just good intentions. Are you the same person you were six months ago? A year ago? Real faith changes us and compels us to serve others. It's not about earning God's love—it's about responding to it with a heart that says, "God, I trust You. Show me how to serve."

Faith and works aren't separate—they work together. One completes the other. Where are you serving?

Can people tell you're a Christian just by watching your life? Or do they have to hear you say it first?

This Sunday, we dove into James 2:14-19 and discovered a powerful truth: faith without works is dead. Just like you can identify an apple tree by its fruit, people should be able to recognize followers of Jesus by their actions. It's not about being perfect—even the best apple trees have some bruised fruit. But there should be visible evidence of a living faith.

Here's the challenge: If you woke up tomorrow unable to speak, would your actions alone prove you're a Christian? Real faith isn't just about believing God exists—even demons believe that and tremble. Living faith shows up in how we serve others, meet needs, and become doers of the Word, not just hearers.

We're saved by grace through faith alone—but not by faith that is alone. Let your faith come alive this week through action!
