WHAT DO WE BELIEVE
Our Statement of Faith
WE BELIEVE:
- In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
- In one God eternally exists in three persons: namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary; that Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead; that he ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
- That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
- That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
- In sanctification after the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ, through the Word, and by the Holy Spirit.
- That holiness is God’s standard of living for His people.
- In the baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a clean heart.
- Speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
- In water baptism by immersion; all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- That divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
- In the Lord’s Supper, also known as Communion, and in the washing of the saint’s feet, also known as “foot washing.”
- In the premillennial second coming of Jesus: first, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air, and second to reign on the earth a thousand years.
- In the bodily resurrection: eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to love God and love people by serving families, strengthening our community, and meeting real needs through compassionate outreach, discipleship, and local and global partnerships. As a church in one of Michigan's poorest counties, we work to ensure that if we closed our doors tomorrow, our community would feel the loss-because our heartbeat is to bring hope, help, and transformation to those around us.
