Testimony

There are so many testimonies that I have of God’s undeserved protection, intervention, and love, but one testimony in particular that generates the greatest response is when I tell people that I was diagnosed with schizophrenia about 13 years ago, and that God healed me. I share that particular testimony to reach people who are in deep despair for various reasons. Many of those reasons don’t involve their health at all, but some do, and consequently, they’ve lost hope or their hope is greatly challenged. My desire is to remind them that God is not dead but alive, and that He never changes—He healed in olden days, and He heals today.

Some people go on to reveal that they or a family member are suffering with some emotional, mental, or physical ailment. Some will open up about other deeply personal things. It’s important for their faith to see someone who was diagnosed with an illness that the medical community says is incurable serve as yet another living example of the power of God to completely restore a life. Jesus said, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes.”

Statement of Faith

We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are divinely inspired, verbally and completely inerrant in the original writings and of supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and life.

We believe in one Sovereign God, existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, unbounded in power, and measureless in love; that God is the source of all creation and that through the immediate exercise of His power all things came into being.

We believe that Jesus the Messiah was eternally pre-existent and is co-equal with God the Father; that He took on Himself the nature of man through the virgin birth so that He is both God and man.

We believe in His sinless life and perfect obedience to the Law; in His atoning death, burial, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, high-priestly intercession and His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that Holy Spirit is co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Son; that He was active in the creation of all things and continues to be so in providence; that He convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, and that He regenerates, sanctifies, baptizes, indwells, seals, illumines, guides, and bestows His gifts upon all believers.

We believe that Israel exists as a covenant people through whom God continues to accomplish His purposes and that the Church is an elect people in accordance with the New Covenant, comprised of both Jews and Gentiles who acknowledge Jesus as Messiah and Redeemer.

We believe that Jesus the Messiah will return personally in order to consummate the prophesied purposes concerning His kingdom.
