We believe that God has given the local church a great commission to proclaim the Gospel; both locally and globally to all nations (Matt. 28:19-20, Mark 16:15, Luke 24:46-48, John 20:21; Acts 1:8; 2 Cor. 5:20)
We believe that Christians are to be good stewards of what God has entrusted to them. As a part of that stewardship, every Christian is called to faithfully give a tithe to the local church. (Gen 14:20, Prov. 3:9-10, Acts 4:34-37, 1 Cor. 16:2,
2 Cor. 9:6-7, Gal. 6:6, 1 Tim 5:17-19)
We believe that at Christ’s coming in the air, the bodies of the dead in Christ shall be raised incorruptible and reunited with soul and spirit; the bodies of Christians who are alive shall be changed and glorified and, without dying, shall be caught up to be with the Lord. The saved will then appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ and be rewarded for their works. After these things, Christ will return bodily and visibly to the earth, with His saints, and shall rule the world in righteousness for a thousand years. At the end of this time, the unsaved dead will be resurrected, and their judgment and condemnation shall take place. (1 Thes. 4:13-17, 1 Cor. 15:51-53, 2 Cor. 5:10, 1 Cor. 3:11-15, Matt. 24:30-31, Rev. 19:11-16, Rev. 20:5-6, 11, 15).
