• God as Father, Jesus as Son and the Holy Spirit are in complete unity.
• All are a part of creation and vital to the salvation of the cosmos with specific functions.
• God as Father is the master architect of the entire plan of creation.
• Jesus is the expression of God’s bridge between Himself and man (the Chief Minister).
• The Holy Spirit is the Revealer of Truth and serves as a down payment for salvation for eternity (the gift).
• God is in Jesus and Jesus is in God with the Holy Spirit as the Divine Interpreter. They are equal in purpose, equal in power, and equal in authority; completely and totally unified.
• Therefore, we conclude that there is one God manifest in three persons.

There are six things essential to our beliefs as a Christian:

• Jesus was both 100% God and 100% human. God was His Father, and Mary was his mother.
• Mary was a virgin as the scripture records. In order for her to conceive it had to be supernatural: beyond natural. This is no different than Abraham and Sarah believing God that they could have children after their time of life had passed.
• Jesus lived His life without sin. If He sinned in any way His blood would not have qualified to be poured on the mercy seat in heaven. The scripture says that there can be no remission of sin without the shedding of blood.
• Jesus’ death was for the sins of the world. My sin and your sin caused His death.
• Jesus was raised from the dead. This signified His supreme Lordship over death. Death was the natural result of our separation from God through sin. Physical death was a shadow of spiritual death.
• Jesus now reigns as the immortal, invisible King who will one day establish His rule on earth at the appointed time.

• The Holy Spirit sanctifies – sets us apart to fulfill God’s purpose for our lives.
• The Holy Spirit preserves – He keeps us until the day that Christ returns.
• The Holy Spirit comes within you when you accept Christ into your heart.
• The scriptures identify Him as “the one called alongside to help provide comfort, revelation regarding the will of God and teaching”.

The Holy Bible is the word of God, written by men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit.

• All that we believe has its basis in the entirety of the scripture and the absolute truths that it contains. Absolutes are principles that stand alone.
• The Holy Scripture is our highest authority for establishing doctrine, reproving, instructing, convicting of sin, correction of error, and training in righteousness.
• The canon of scripture was established prior to the universal church’s fragmentation into denominations. At the same time the scriptures were written, the universal church was still an organic body, not an institutional one.

We believe that man was made in the image of God and is the crown of creation. He is now, by reason of the fall, spiritually depraved and alienated from his Creator. Apart from god’s grace, he has no ability to attain to his high calling. (Psalm 8, Ephesians 2: 8 – 9)

• Man is created in the image of God. Man is spirit, he has a soul (mind, will, emotions) and lives in a body (house or shell for the spirit).
• Man does not come from an animal or one cell amoeba.
• Man is not inherently good by nature; because of Adam and Eve’s disobedience, we are alienated from God and can never measure up to God’s standard of right standing with Him.
• This alienation is called “sin”. Sin means to miss or not come up to the established standard.
• We can never satisfy the established standard without intervention from God. No amount of good deeds on our part could satisfy His requirements to be just in His eyes.

• This alienation from God because of sin can only be corrected by grace through faith in what Jesus did in His death, burial and resurrection.
• Jesus Christ, through His death, satisfied the requirement, or standards, established by God. He becomes our substitution.
• God’s entire wrath against disobedience (sin) was taken out on Jesus on the cross. “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?”

• Baptism is a command. Everyone who confesses Christ should be baptized.
• Baptism comes from the word “baptize” which means to immerse.
• Baptism represents a burial of the old way of life and mindset.
• Baptism is not a prerequisite to salvation.
• Covenant Church does not baptize infants.
• Baptism is to be participated in when the concept it represents can be fully understood by the participant.
• We baptize in the name of Jesus Christ in accordance with the scriptural record.
• Jesus was baptized as a way of identifying with us as sinners.

• The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a subsequent experience to salvation.
• Evidence of the empowerment of the Holy Spirit is demonstrated by speaking in tongues and boldness as recorded in the book of Acts.
• The Holy Spirit within produces fruit for an internal work.
• The Holy Spirit upon us produces power for external work.
• The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is not a requirement of Salvation.
• We encourage you to ask Jesus to baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

• You can have relationship with God without having a human mediator.
• Jesus is our mediator to God.
• We all have equal status and access to God through Jesus Christ.
• We have a responsibility as priests to minister to those who don’t have a relationship with the Lord and to fellow believers.

• your walk matches your talk,
• we can break free from the power of sin,
• in complete restoration, not just redemption,
• in a lifestyle change in every arena of life: mental, spiritual and physical.
• in a life that reflects the nature and character of Jesus Christ.

• The role of these gifts is the equipping of the believers for the work of the ministry.
• These gifts are expressed within the context of a local community of believers.
• We need to exercise balance and sensitivity in allowing the Gifts of the Holy Spirit to operate in our lives.
• Gifts of the Holy Spirit are to be manifest decently and in order in a church service under the leading of the ministry oversight.

• Church can be referred to in two ways: (1) universal and (2) local.
• The universal church or “catholic” (which means universal) was birthed by Jesus Christ.
• The universal church cannot be institutionalized – it is a spiritual organism whose life and activity is under the authority and control of Jesus Christ.
• The universal church – the Body of Christ – is primarily perceived through the local church.  The local church is faithful to its identity when it takes seriously its mission to represent the universal church to its community.

• We do not disassociate from other churches that profess Jesus Christ but may have different doctrinal beliefs or cultural ways of worshiping the Lord.
• We don’t major on the minors.
• We want to build bridges not walls.

• We do not disassociate from other churches that profess Jesus Christ but may have different doctrinal beliefs or cultural ways of worshiping the Lord.
• We don’t major on the minors.
• We want to build bridges not walls.

• Jesus Christ, who was raised from the dead, is still alive today.
• Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of God and He is interceding on our behalf daily.
• John 3:16 says that God so loved the world. The word “world” is translated cosmos, which means the earth and the entire universe. God is not just in love with His highest creation called man, but He is in love with His creation.
• Jesus Christ’s rule (government) will literally be established in the earth.
• We await His literal return to the earth.
