Frequently Asked Questions (and Answers!)

What do we believe?
Our statement of faith is
God the King and the Holy Trinity
We believe that God is the eternal King. He is an infinite, unchangeable Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, goodness, justice, power and love. From all eternity He exists as the One Living and True God in three persons of one substance, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory.
We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is our abiding Helper, Teacher, and Guide. We believe in the filling or the empowering of the Holy Spirit, often as a conscious experience, for the ministry today.
We believe in the present ministry of the Spirit and in the exercise of all the biblical gifts of the Spirit. We practice the laying on of hands for the empowering of the Spirit, for healing, and for recognition and empowering those whom God has ordained to lead and serve the church.
We believe that the Holy Spirit inspired the human authors of the Holy Scripture so that the bible is without error in the original manuscripts. We receive the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments as our final, absolute authority, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
We believe in Baptism and the Lord's Supper. We believe that Jesus Christ committed two ordinances to the church: water baptism and the Lord's Supper. Both available to all believers.
