WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe that the entirety of the Holy Bible is God breathed and is true and right. From Genesis to Revelation
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,”
II Timothy 3:16
We believe that Communion is a response to Christ’s sacrifice and should be received consistently until His return. We believe that only believers should come to the Table of the Lord, which consists of the bread and the cup. The bread – His body, which was given for us. The cup – His blood that was shed for us. Both elements are witnesses of the New Covenant believers now enjoy while prophetically declaring His soon return
“Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.”
I Corinthians 11:27-29
We believe that musical worship unifies the body of Christ and that it allows us to join in with the songs that are being sung in heaven. We believe that as we are made new in Christ we are commanded to sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with grace in our hearts. We believe in and encourage multiple expressions of worship, such as dancing, laying, stillness, kneeling, raising hands.
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
Colossians 3:16
“Then David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod. II Samuel 6:14
“Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, And bless the Lord.”
Psalms 134:2
We believe in and abide by the Nicene Creed
The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God,
Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and of all things visible and invisible.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one being with the Father.
Through Him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
He came down from heaven: By the power of the Holy Spirit
He became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
He suffered death and was buried.
On the third day He rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and His kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father.
With the Father and the Son
He is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
