WE
BELIEVE
THE WORD
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, divinely given through the Holy Spirit, and is the ultimate authority for all matters of faith and practice. We affirm that the Bible is infallible, inerrant, and sufficient for teaching, reproof, correction, and instruction. We believe God inhabits His Word and He still speaks to us through it. His mysteries are continually being revealed through His Word and it provides new revelations as we uncover more depth to who God is and what His purposes for us are. The Bible is the primary resource in which we train and equip leaders.
THE TRINITY
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three co-equal persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. Each is fully God, equal in power and glory, and works together for the salvation and sanctification of humanity. Like three candles lit from the same flame, we believe God can operate in unity and separate within the three persons of the Trinity, as the same fire flows through them. We believe the Trinity encapsulates the meaning of God being love, as He exists as a relationship within Himself.
SPIRITUAL GIFTS
We believe that the Holy Spirit bestows spiritual gifts upon believers for the edification of the church and the fulfillment of God’s purposes. These gifts include, but are not limited to, tongues, prophecy, healing, and miracles. These gifts are operational in the church today and are necessary for the work of the gospel. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He is still working, speaking, and moving through us. His presence is powerful and tangible. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a distinct and separate experience from salvation. This experience empowers believers to live victorious Christian lives and equips them for service in the Kingdom of God. Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit can be speaking in an unknown tongue or other manifestation as the Holy Spirit enables.
JESUS CHRIST
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary. He is begotten of the Father and was not made. He is the Word made flesh, who is God and was with God at the creation of the universe. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for the forgiveness of sins, and rose from the dead on the third day. He is the only Savior and the only way to eternal life. Salvation is a gift of grace from God, received through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. All people are born with a sinful nature and are in need of salvation. Salvation is available to all through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, who atoned for our sins by His death and resurrection. It is not earned through works, but works without faith is dead.
THE CHURCH COMMUNITY
We believe in the Church as the body of Christ, made up of all believers who have received salvation through Jesus Christ. The Church is called to worship God, evangelize the lost, disciple believers, and demonstrate the love of Christ through service. The Body is made up of different gifts to edify and encourage one another. We believe the church should not forsake the assembling of ourselves together. We are looking to inspire a community of believers to support one another as we work together to advance the Kingdom of God. A healthy church should represent a diverse community of people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
We believe in the literal, visible return of Jesus Christ to earth to establish His Kingdom. This event will include the persecution of believers, the rapture of the church, a time of tribulation, and ultimately the establishment of a new heaven and new earth. We believe we must work to save souls during this period that proceeds the end times and be vigilant against false teachers and the anticipated anti-Christ. We believe no one knows the day or the hour of Christ's return, but we must be mindful of the signs of the times. We believe in the final judgment, where all people will stand before God. Those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will inherit eternal life, while those who have rejected Him will face eternal separation from God.
THE ETERNAL TRANSFORMATION DIFFERENCE
Eternal Transformation Christian Church is different. It focuses on the deep desire, enthusiasm, and effort Jesus taught us we should crave to dive into the presence of God. Jesus taught his disciples that our faith is not a religion. It is not mere customs and repetitive traditions. It is not simply a lesson on who God was and tips on how to be a good person. It's a relationship with the Almighty living God who wants to be active in our lives. He wants us to experience his supernatural presence, and we should be yearning to pursue Him and intentionally connecting with Him. We will challenge you to grow and expand deeper in your faith. God will meet you where you are at, but He wants to transform your life into a glorious creation.
FOCUS AREAS:
Click on each focus to learn more about the areas God has called us to emphasize:
​God wants us to encounter His presence and experience the supernatural. He wants us to have an active faith, where we hear His voice, obey His commands, and have a real, reciprocating relationship with Him. Our faith should be an experience.
​​All glory and honor is due to God. We are God-focused with a heart for people. We seek God's face, not His hand. We are not a club or a hobby group. We are here to humbly worship the Almighty King of the universe with boldness. We serve and help people, not to receive from God, but to bless Him.
​God desires for us to be healed, made whole, and live transformed lives. Jesus came to redeem and restore so that we may become a new creation. Inner healing is a process in which we allow God to restore, heal, and deliver us.
We have been called to raise up leaders and challenge believers to grow and mature in their faith. We equip leaders for the Kingdom of God. Battle-ready warriors who are prepared to save souls and pull down demonic strongholds. We draw people who are not satisfied with a watered-down faith, but who are seeking more of God and want to make an impact - people who are willing to be obedient to follow wherever God leads and aren't afraid of sacrifice because they love God so deeply.​
