Core Truths & Values

---

There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

God has revealed Himself to us through his Son, Jesus Christ.  Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.  He is the visible image of the invisible God, the Word made flesh, and is visible through all of creation itself.

The proper name of "Christ" means "the anointing."  It is the Holy Spirit which anointed Jesus at His baptism and came to dwell in redeemed men on the Day of Pentecost.  We live in the age of the Holy Spirit, and He is the same today as He was on the Day of Pentecost.  All of His power and gifts are available to believers today.

Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed to have dominion over God's creation. Adam and Eve's fall in the Garden caused man to fall out of fellowship with God and required Jesus to Himself as the sacrifice for our sins. Through Jesus, man has access to God's original design as put forth during Creation.

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us to God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead.  Now, by grace, He offers as a free gift, eternal life to all who follow Christ by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone.

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.  When this occurs, the dead in Christ will rise to rule and reign with Jesus on this earth.

America is founded by the people group known in Scripture as the House of Israel.  These are the 10 "lost" tribes of Israel which migrated northward into Europe, became known as Isaac's sons (aka 'Saac's sons), which eventually became the term "Saxons." This nationality and culture made its way to the West and conglomerated to form the United States of America.  Last-day prophecies in Scripture to the House of Israel are for the United States of America.

The Church in Scripture is referred to as the “Ekklesia” or the “called out ones.”  It is the body of Christ. Organizations and structures put in place to edify the Church report only to Christ, and they exist solely for the purpose of strengthening the Church.  It is a closed society that self-regulates under Jesus alone, and is not regulated by government or society.  The Church of Jesus Christ is above all, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Government is instituted by God and is required to subject itself to God's higher authority.  It is not supreme in its authority and is established to reward good (as defined by God) and punish evil (as defined by God).  When government becomes perverse, corrupt, and tyrannical towards God's purposes, it is the duty of God's people to nullify government's overreach and obey God.

Marriage was instituted by God in the Garden of Eden, and will persist until the end of this present age.  As such, God alone owns the definition of marriage.  Neither the State nor society can revise its definition.  Scripture defines marriage as a covenant union, between one man and one woman, joined together in holy matrimony.

Gender is created by God alone and corresponds with one's biological sex. Gender and sex are one-in-the-same, they are DNA-based and unchangeable. God created only male and female, and God alone assigns a person's gender at the time they are conceived.  Demonic delusions do not alter a person's sex and gender.

The Church is essential to Heaven for carrying out God's plan on earth.  It does not cower in fear to government, sickness, or disease.  It offers the cure through the power of the Holy Spirit, faith, and the laying on of hands.  The Church of Jesus Christ will not cease to conduct its business under God's direction because of government edicts, overreach, or WHO / UN decrees.
