  • Galatians 3:14-15

We believe in operation of the gifts of the Spirit menifested in the Early Church.

  • Revelation 20:10-15

We believe in the reality and personality of Satan and eternal judgment of Satan and his angels.

  • Matthew 25:41

In addition to these basic fundamentals we also hold that:

The biblical form of church government is a plural eldership with a senior minister who qualifies on the basis of I Timothy 3 in spiritual life, character, domestic life and rulership ability.

  • 1 Timothy 3

The church of Jesus Christ is the last instrument that God is using to extend His Kingdom prior to the second coming of Christ.

  • Ephesians 3:10
  • Matthew 16:18
  • Ephesians 1:20-22

The local church is completely autonomous, that is, it is self-governing, self-supporting, and self-propagating in its mature sate, yet have Covenant with other local churches.

Every Believer in Christ must be subject to God’s authority in a specific local church for spiritual protection and long term fruitfulness.
