Statement of Faith at the "Upper Room"

The following is a product of the "Apostle's Doctrine"according to the New Testament records of the Bible:

· The foundation of our Church is based on the true Gospel message according to the Prophets. (1 Cor. 15:1-4, Romans 1:1-5). The truth of the message we preach is one that ministers the person of Christ to the human soul. This Gospel is the power of God unto Salvation that morally changes the hearts and lives of those that trust Christ alone for the forgiveness of sins. Salvation of the human soul is our main objective. We know Christ changes the hearts and lives of those who believe. We use a King James Version of the Bible to teach from.

· We are a New Testament Church that believes, practices, and teaches Christian Holiness by the power of God’s Grace. This Grace is what keeps the Holy Spirit present in our lives.

· The Bible is our textbook. We preach from Old Testament prophecies, the four Gospels, and the New Testament records. The Bible’s historical, archeological, geographical, and prophetic truth has formed the basis of faith we live by. From the Holy Scriptures based on Christ we teach God’s plan of redemption for the human family, Our teaching ranges from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation i.e.; Creation, Adam, Noah, The Law of Moses, the Prophets, the Church, the Rapture, the Tribulation, the second coming of Christ, the 1000 year reign, and final redemption through Christ’s millennial reign.

· Winning souls and maintaining fellowship through Christ is a priority within our local body. We believe in a daily responsibility and accountability to God through a Savior’s love. The following statements of our faith will beautifully describe the distinction between the unbeliever’s frailty/depravity in light of the believer’s accountability/responsibility to God in three persons (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit). The work and action of God within our hearts and lives through faith is the standard of Christianity we live by.
