Our Mission

 We believe there's only one God, our Creator and King of the universe. He has chosen to reveal Himself in three distinct forms: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit—these three are one. We affirm that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He willingly sacrificed His perfect life on the cross to pay our moral debt for sin, saving us from eternal death because He loves us. John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." We believe in the two sacraments of  Baptism and the Lord's Supper (Communion or the Eucharist) in the Gospel of Christ.

 We believe that the Holy Scriptures, encompassing both the Old Testament and the New Testament, are the inerrant, inspired, and infallible Word of God. We affirm that Jesus Christ serves as the supreme authority and judge over all aspects of life and death. Furthermore, we maintain that the Gospel of Christ represents the final Word of God, which supersedes the laws of Moses and other Old Testament laws established under the old covenant. Hebrews 8:13, "In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away." We hold that the Divine law of God consists of the Ten Commandments, the Gospel of Christ, and the Golden Rule. The words of the prophets, proverbs, psalms, and apostles are used for wisdom, knowledge, and guidance, but not as law. They must also be understood within the context of the patriarchy, misogyny, and sexism during this age.

 We believe that God created Adam as man and Eve as woman approximately 6,000 years ago. Adam was a unique creation, endowed with a spirit from the Breath of Life given by God, who creates a soul for each body that will be born and breathe air.  As stated in Romans 8:16, "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God." We hold that the NKJV Bible is the Word of God for all humanity seeking righteousness, salvation, and eternal life. The Gospel provides everything necessary to understand the steps toward repentance for sin, salvation, and eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven on earth with Jesus Christ.

  We believe that God created only male and female in the beginning, intending for us to reproduce and populate the earth. Additionally, we believe that toxins and poisons in the world have affected our DNA and bodies, altering God's original design with each successive generation. We hold that humanity began to change when we were cut off from the Tree of Life due to sin. This evolution has led to the emergence of distinct types of human beings and a redefinition of our binary understanding of male and female. Jesus foresaw these changes and did not condemn or ban homosexuality in the Gospel.  We recognize that the estimated 80 to 130 million intersex individuals living in the world today are also children of God who deserve salvation and access to His Church; God also knew them in the womb.  Jeremiah 1:4-5, "Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 'Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you'."  Hermaphrodites are one type of intersex people the church has been aware of for centuries. We affirm that God will judge us based on our righteousness or wickedness, rather than on our sexuality, gender, or identity.  LGBTQ+ individuals, like all Christians, are called to adhere to monogamy or celibacy to obtain salvation and eternal life; they must follow the same rules and laws of God to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.  God looks into the hearts of two people in love to determine whether they're married.

 We believe that every child born into this world was predestined to live and receive the breath of life and spirit God has prepared for them. Additionally, we hold that aborting a fetus after 24 weeks for immoral reasons can be considered murder; this time frame is generally acknowledged by science as the point at which premature babies can survive outside the womb, when their lungs are developed enough to breathe. Every child who takes at least one breath outside the womb has met the requirement to live before death to enter the kingdom of Heaven. We believe that a fetus that dies in the womb has never received its spirit from God and was never intended to live; it is misguided to assume that humans can disrupt God's plans. Additionally, we interpret Luke 1 as supporting personhood for a fetus at 24 weeks, referencing the moment when John leaped in the womb upon hearing Mary, prior to receiving the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:36, "Now indeed, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren." 

We believe that God-given free will allows each individual to make personal and intimate choices regarding their lives and bodies. Additionally, we hold that the Apostle Paul instructed the church not to be involved in the affairs of those outside the church.   1 Corinthians 5:12-13, "For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges. Therefore, put away from yourselves the evil person.” 

  We believe the Holy Spirit reveals our spiritual gifts, which are intended to strengthen the church, uphold the validity of the resurrection, and showcase the power of the Gospel of Christ. All believers are encouraged to pray earnestly and seek the manifestation of these gifts in their lives. These gifts operate in harmony with Scripture to support the body of Christ and should never be used in ways that contradict biblical principles. We believe that every Christian member of the body has a vital role in restoring the kingdom of Heaven on earth, with Jesus Christ as the Head, directing each member through the Helper, united by one voice.  1 Corinthians 12:4, "There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord."

  We believe that the true Church, which Christ is coming to claim, is not defined by any denomination, the color of our skin, or how we express and display our faith to others. Instead, it's the Holy Spirit of Christ that determines membership in the elect congregation. Jesus alone has the power to forgive, approve, and grant you the key to the Kingdom through His gift of grace. We don't believe everyone receives the Spirit at baptism, but it's possible; we believe our body must be free of sin before we can receive the Holy Spirit. When we become one with the Lord, we will no longer sin in the flesh.  1 John 5:18, "We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him." Sin prevents the Holy Spirit from indwelling within us; we have to show Christ that we can cease from sin in the flesh before he will give us the Helper. Christians who walk with the Holy Spirit will not risk losing their reward and will choose death before sinning. We believe that the Holy Spirit guides us in all aspects of daily living as we serve and worship God.
