11 Standards of Excellence Statement of Faith Motto We believe the Bible is the literal, infallible, and inspired Word of God, and is the final authority on all matters of faith and life. [Matthew 24:35, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:3-4]. We believe there is one God Who is revealed to us in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. [John 1:1-4 & 14, Romans 8:9, 2 Corinthians 13:14]. We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus, and His death, burial, and bodily resurrection, and in His complete deity and humanity; that He is fully God and came in the likeness of man-god incarnate. [Romans 1:3-4, John 1:1-14, I Timothy 3:16]. We believe Christ s atoning sacrifice on Calvary has made possible the salvation of all mankind, by grace, through faith, and that a Christian stands, and lives, by the faith of the Son of God. [Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5, Galatians 2:16, Hebrews 9:12]. We believe in the present day, New Testament ministry of the Holy Spirit. [Mark 16:20, I Corinthians 12:7-11]. We believe in His appearing in and through the Body of Christ, and His imminent physical return. [Revelation 20:11-15, I Corinthians 15:13-17, John 14:20 & 23, and 2 Peter 1:4]. We believe that God was in Christ reconciling the entire world unto Himself, and that the ministry of reconciliation has been given to the Body of Christ. [John 3:16-17, 2 Corinthians 5:18-21]. We believe in the bodily resurrection and righteous judgment of all mankind. [Acts 26:8, Revelation 20:11-15]. We believe concerning matters not specifically addressed in the Scripture, that the believer should seek the leading of the Holy Spirit, and the witness of the Word of God for direction. [Romans 14:4-5, Philippians 2:12]. We believe in water baptism as an act of obedience to the Word of God. [Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16]. Our motto is Work of Faith with Power, which is based on II Thessalonians 1:11, (KJV) Wherefore also, we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power. God fulfills the pleasure of goodness and all the work of faith. It means that God blesses us for our work of faith. It does not matter what is our work, profession, or ministry, we can do a work of faith.
