We believe in the divine priesthood of the Holy Spirit
and His present day ministry to believers which includes the
sovereign distribution of spiritual gifts to believers for
empowerment and for service in the contemporary
church. 1 Corinthians 12
We believe in Jesus Christ as the sovereign giver of
spiritual gifts to the church. We believe spiritual gifts are
given for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of ministry and
for the edifying of the body of Christ and are given without regard
to ethnicity, social class or gender. Ephesians 4:7 and Galatians
3:26-28
We believe in the autonomy of the local church as an
independent entity with regard to matters of government, policy
operation and
discipline.
1 Corinthians 5:5; 1 Thessalonians 5:21; 2 Thessalonians 3:6, 14-15;
Acts 6:3-5, 11:22, 14:23; Titus 1:5
We believe in the biblical terminology of leadership in the
contemporary church. Bishop, overseer, pastor, minister, elder and
deacon. We believe all these are designations for servant
leaders.Jeremiah 3:15; Acts 20:28; 2 Corinthians 6:4, 1 Timothy
3:3-7
We believe in the formal and intentional praise and worship of
almighty God as a proper Spirit lead corporate acknowledgment and
response to His person and work. Psalms 46-50; John
4:23
We believe all believers are exhorted to be filled, walk in, be
lead by and live in the power of the Holy
Spirit.
Ephesians 5:18; Galatians 5:16, 18, 25
