"Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me,

in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us,

the treasure which has been entrusted to you."

(2 Timothy 1:13-14)

WHAT WE BELIEVE:

We believe in one God, as He has revealed Himself in the Scriptures. "Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is One." Our one God has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Every divine action in the world is accomplished by the Father working through the Son and in the power of the Spirit. (Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; I Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:4-6)

We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, the Messiah, the Eternal One in whom all the fullness of the deity dwells in bodily form, and who is the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us, and whose glory we beheld, the glory of the uniquely begotten Son of God, full of grace and truth. He is our King and Saivor and worthy of all praise and honor. (John 1:1-14; Colossians 2:9)

We believe that the Holy Spirit, teaches, leads, indwells, and empowers all whom God saves. (Acts 9:31; 1 John 2:27; John 16:13; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Timothy 1:7)

We believe in the infilling and gifts of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. (Acts 2:4, 11; 10:46, John 14:15-31, 1 Corinthians 12)

We believe that the Bible, both the Old Testament and the New Testament, are the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

We believe that all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)

We believe Jesus' death and resurrection accomplished the atonement for all who place their faith in Him. Whoever trusts in Jesus, in his work alone, is made a new creation in Him, indwelt by the Spirit of God, and is transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of his own Son. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 5, 6)

We believe in justification by faith through the grace of God alone and not by human efforts. One may not earn, merit, or keep this eternal salvation by his own efforts. A new creation is the work of God alone. (Ephesians 2:8-10; Romans 8:29-39)

We believe in the spiritual unity and equality of all believers in Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:11-22)

We believe that all non-Jewish people who trust in Jesus are grafted into Israel. While this does not make them Jewish, they are full and equal participants in the covenants of promise. (Ephesians 2:12; Romans 11:11-24; Jeremiah 31:33)

We believe that the Torah is a revelation of the righteousness of God and a description (along with the rest of Scripture) of the lifestyle of the redeemed community. Jesus was the Torah made flesh, and he dwelt among us to model the lifestyle befitting of every believer. (Matthew 5:17-19; 2 Timothy 3:16-17, John 1, 1 John 2:3-6)

We believe in the literal, physical return of Jesus Christ to rule and reign upon the throne of David in Jerusalem. We believe He will return for a holy congregation and bride without spot or wrinkle according to (Ephesians 5:27, Zechariah 14, Revelation 19-20)
