Mathew 5:14-16 ESV
”You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

WE BELIEVE IN
THE BIBLE
The Bible is the unchangeable Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and contains every answer to man’s problems.
(2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20,21)
THE TRINITY
There is one God, existing eternally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
(John 10:30; John 14:26; Philippians 2:5-7)
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God. He helps empower the believer to develop the character of Christ and live every day in God’s will.
(Matthew 3:11; Acts 2:4)
SALVATION
We can have a personal relationship with God through salvation, God’s free gift to man. It is not a result of what we do, but it is only available through God’s unearned favor. By admitting we have sinned believing in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, and accepting Him as Lord, we can spend eternity with God.
(Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 5:1; Romans 3:24)
GENDER ROLES AND MARRIAGE
We believe marriage is an institution, created by God, as a covenant relationship established by mutual vows exchanged exclusively between one man and one woman. God also reserves sexual intimacy for one man and a woman in covenant. TOR loves and receives everyone regardless of sexual orientation
(Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 2:18-24; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 18-20; 1 Corinthians 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4; Romans 1:18-32; Leviticus 18:22; Leviticus 20:13)
(Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 5:1; Romans 3:24)
LOVE
God is Love and He loves all people. He desires to reach out to those who are poor, oppressed, widowed, or orphaned, and to heal the brokenhearted. Psalm 68:5,6; 1 John 4:16
(Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 2:18-24; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 18-20; 1 Corinthians 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4; Romans 1:18-32; Leviticus 18:22; Leviticus 20:13)
SPIRITUAL GIFTS ARE FOR TODAY
God gives all believers spiritual gifts. They are for the strengthening of God’s people (the Church) and proof of God’s existence and power to unbelievers. The gifts of the Spirit are active and relevant today.
(1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 1 Peter 4:10)
HEALING
Divine healing is active in the lives of people today through Jesus, who is the Healer. Healing includes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual restoration.
(Luke 9:11; Matthew 9:35; Acts 10:38; Matthew 10:1)
WATER BAPTISM
We believe in water baptism, as taught and demonstrated by Jesus, as the way for believers to identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.
(Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Matthew 3:13-17)
HELL
The Bible describes hell as a real place. It is a place of suffering and a place of permanent separation from God for those who die without accepting Christ. God desires that no one be separated from Him for eternity, which is why He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth.
(Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:12-15; John 3:16-18)
CHRIST'S RETURN
Jesus will return and take all those who have accepted Him as Savior to be with Him for eternity.
(Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; Hebrews 9:28)
