SESSION 3: FAITHFULNESS
WE ARE TRUE TO OUR IDENTITY
We are faithful to our church's identity and strategy since God only blesses who we are, not who we pretend to be. We are not in competition with the beautiful churches around us. We don't follow trends for the sake of relevance. We follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and are willing to do anything short of sin to make Jesus known.

Love
Demonstrating and reflecting Jesus in everything we do
Integrity
Honoring the Word of God and living it out
Faithfulness
Staying committed to God's purpose and His people
Enjoying Life
Doing life together as a family and community
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Our doctrine determine our way of doing things. It is important that you understand what we stand for.
INSPIRED INFALLIBLE WORD
We believe the entire Bible to be the inspired, infallible Word of God, the revelation of God’s will for man and the divine and final authority for the Christian life.
ONE GOD: 3 PERSONS
We believe in one God, the Creator of all things, who is revealed in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the present supernatural ministry of The Holy Spirit, whose purpose is to glorify Jesus Christ and instruct and empower every believer for godly living and service.
GOD AND MAN
We acknowledge Jesus Christ as true God and true man––conceived of The Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, crucified, and resurrected––our High Priest and Advocate now seated at the right hand of God The Father.
SALVATION AND FORGIVENESS IN CHRIST
We believe in personal salvation and forgiveness of sins through the shed Blood of Jesus Christ, acknowledging every person’s need for the grace and mercy of God.
COMMUNION
We serve The Lord’s Supper, and according to Scripture, remember Jesus’ sacrifice on The Cross and celebrate His resurrection power.
RESURRECTION
We believe in the eventual resurrection of the dead, the eternal happiness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost.
WATER BAPTISM
We baptize in water all those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ and who desire to publicly identify with Him, in accordance with The Bible’s command.
JESUS IS OUR HEALER
We believe that Jesus is The Healer.
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
We believe in the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that His appearance will be accompanied by a bodily resurrection of those who have died in Christ.
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the baptism of The Holy Spirit is a promise from The Father for every believer and is distinct and subsequent to the experience of the New Birth. Speaking in tongues, as The Holy Spirit gives utterance, is a physical indication of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
POWER OF PRAYER
We believe in the power and effectiveness of prayer.
