Statement of Beliefs
We are "kingdom minded" people connecting one another,
and helping one another to further
the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
In the end, it will not be about
denomination or doctrinal differences, but rather being born again, washed in the Blood of the Lamb and your names written
in the Lambs book of Life.
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible,
authoritative Word of God
2. We believe in the triune Godhead as eternally existent
in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin
birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death and atonement through His shed Blood, in His bodily resurrection,
in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His present priestly ministry.
4. We believe in evangelistic and missionary fervor and
endeavor.
5. We believe for the salvation of lost and sinful man,
regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We further believe in the keeping power of God.
6. We believe that sanctification, holiness and the overcoming
life is God's design for the Church, which is the Bride of Christ.
7. We believe that sexual purity is the standard for
all God’s children, which requires abstinence from adultery, fornication, incest, homosexuality, or other sexual relationship
or practices forbidden by Scripture.
8.We believe that marriage is a sacred institution established
by God and is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime.
9. We believe that Baptism is for believers in the Lord
Jesus Christ and is to be administered by immersion, thus bearing witness to the gospel of Christ's death, burial and resurrection
for us, and our own new life in Him.
10. We believe that Communion, when shared by believers
witnesses to the saving power of the gospel, to Christ's presence in His church, and looks forward to His victorious return.
11. We believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as on the
day of Pentecost and in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit as evidenced in charismatic gifts and ministries, and in
the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer.
12. We believe that divine healing is obtained on the basis
of the Atonement.
13. We believe in Christ's imminent personal return in power
and great glory, and in His present and everlasting dominion.
14. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and
the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal
punishment.

MY PURPOSE IN LIFE
To occupy until Jesus comes, by having a personal. Daily relationship with Jesus Christ,
which prepares me for the life that I live and the life to come.
Studying to show myself approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly
dividing the Word of truth, being a doer of the Word, making the most of every opportunity as I actively participate
in the great commission.
Dying to my own ambitions, my own rights, desires, preferences, and selfish attitudes,
which would want to causes me to put my self first. Making every effort to allow Christ to be first in everything concerning
my life so that He can not only live in me, but through me.
Christ is the center and source of life. In Him I live and move and have my
being. Christ is my strenght, joy, peace, confidence, encouragement, teacher, mentor, defender, friend, and my very
reason for existing.
My heart beating to know Him more. More today then I did Yesterday, and more
tommorrow then I do today.
Knowing that fruit only comes by being apart of the vine, I will abide in Christ and
He, in me, oall the days of my life.
Being
rooted and grounded in that unconditional love of God. For I am called for such a time as this, to go and bring forth fruit
and that this fruit should remain.
Written by Bishop John Aguilar in 1978
