FAITH STATEMENT

Authority of Scripture

We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God given to man through the Holy Spirit; without error and is the only infallible, authoritative Word of God

The Trinity

We believe that God eternally co-equally exists in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and that these three are one God.

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son. We believe that the Holy Spirit makes available everything believers need to live a godly life.

Salvation (New Birth)

Salvation (born again, converted) is an awesome opportunity made available to all mankind. To take advantage of this opportunity, we believe in the necessity of biblical repentance, the personal appropriation of the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and surrender to the Lordship of Jesus.  When this is sincerely done, the sinner is pardoned and accepted as righteous in God's sight. 

Wealth Building

We believe that those individuals who are called to marketplace ministries have a major role in the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth. They have two functions to carry out. First, to be an instrument of spiritual Kingdom change in the atmosphere of the business sphere in which they have influence. And second, to develop Kingdom minded businesses that will use wealth to establish the Kingdom of God on earth.
