Our Core Beliefs

1. We believe in one God, as He has revealed Himself in the Scriptures. “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.” (Deuteronomy 6:4
2. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, the Christ, the Eternal One in Whom all the fullness of 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. (John 1:1–14; Colossians 2:9)
3. We believe that the Spirit of God comforts, teaches, leads, indwells and empowers all whom He regenerates. (Acts 9:31; 1 John 2:27; John 16:13; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Timothy 1:7)
4. We believe that the Bible, both the Old Testament and the New Testament, is the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16–17)
5. We believe that all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
6. We believe Jesus’ death and resurrection accomplished the atonement for all who place their faith in Him. Whoever trusts in God, in His work alone, is made a new creation in Jesus, 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)
7. We believe salvation is 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)
8. We believe in the spiritual unity and equality of all believers in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2:11–22)
9. We believe in the continuity of God’s covenants with the physical people of Israel (Jeremiah 31:35–36 and parallel passages). Part of the fulfillment of these covenants is the physical return of the people of Israel to their Promised Land. (Deuteronomy 30)
10. 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. All who come to the illumination of the work of Jesus are participants as first fruits in the New Covenant. (Ephesians 2:12; Romans 11:11–24; Jeremiah 31:33)
11. We believe that the Torah (the first five books of the Bible) is a revelation of the righteousness of God and a description (along with the rest of the Scripture) of the lifestyle of the redeemed community. (Matthew 5:17–19; 2 Timothy 3:16–17)
12. We believe in the literal, physical return of Christ to rule and reign upon the throne of David in Jerusalem. We hold to the pre-millennial view of His return. (Zechariah 14; Revelation 19–20)
