The Growing Church

 

Doctrinal Statement Divine inspiration:  We believe the Bible in its entirety is the divinely inspired Word of God The Godhead:  We believe that there is one God, eternally existent, omniscient, omnipotent, He is God the Father in creation, God the Son Jesus Christ in redemption, and God the Holy Spirit in His comfort, keeping and transforming power. Divinity:  We believe in the deity of Christ, His Virgin birth, his death, burial and bodily resurrection, and in Christ’s personal and visible return to earth. Indwelling of the Holy Spirit:  We believe that it is the will of God that every believer be filled and baptized in the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as received on the day of Pentecost. Salvation:  We believe in full salvation through grace and faith, not of works.  We believe that all have sinned and have come short of the glory of God, and are in need of salvation, which has been provided through Jesus Christ.  That, man being a free moral agent, is capable of backsliding, apostasy and being lost. New Testament Ordinances: We believe in water baptism by immersion as obedience to fulfilling the Great Commission.  We believe in the observance of the Lord’s supper. Tithing:  We believe that tithing is God’s financial plan for individual prosperity and for the financing of the ministry. Body of Christ: We believe that the church consists of all those who have received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Bodily Resurrection: We believe that there shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, and an eternal place of punishment for the impenitent and everlasting life for the true believer. Healing: We believe that divine healing is provided in the redemptive work of Christ and is available to every believer through the blood of Jesus Christ and the prayer of faith.
