OUR PURPOSE
Zion’s Church exists to evangelize the lost, encounter God through Spirit filled worship, equip believers through Biblical preaching, and encourage the body of Christ through loving fellowship.
WE BELIEVE
We believe that all Scripture, by which we understand the whole book called The Bible, is given by inspiration of God; that it is inerrant in the original writing and that it’s teaching and authority is absolute, supreme and final. It is the final rule for faith and practice.
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
We believe that the Godhead eternally exists in three persons, - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are one God, having the same nature, attributes and perfection.
“All God’s people here send their greetings.”
We believe in the Personality and Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, begotten of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, truly God and truly man.
““I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.””
We believe in the Personality and Deity of the Holy Spirit, the source and power of all acceptable worship and service, the infallible interpreter of the infallible Word, who indwells every true believer upon salvation and is ever present to testify of Christ, seeking to occupy us with Him and not with ourselves or our experiences.
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.”
We believe that man was created in the image and after the likeness of God, but that the whole human race fell in the sin of the first Adam, and apart from Christ is spiritually dead and lost. We believe that no degree of reformation however great, no attainment in morality however high, no culture however attractive, no humanitarian and philanthropic schemes and societies however useful, no baptism or other sacrament however administered, can help the sinner to take even one step toward heaven; but anew nature imparted from above, a new life implanted by the Holy Spirit through repentance and conversion through the new birth in Jesus Christ is absolutely essential to salvation.
“As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;”
We believe that Jesus Christ became the sinner's substitute before God and died as a completely satisfactory sacrifice for the sin of the whole world. That He redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse in our place, dying the Just for the unjust according to the Scriptures; that no repentance, no feeling, no faith, no good resolutions, no sincere efforts, no submission to the rules and regulations of any church can add in the very least to the value of the precious blood or to the merit of that finished work wrought for us by Him.
“For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures”
We believe that the Church is composed of all those who truly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. It is the body and bride of Christ. We believe that every believer,whether Jew or Gentile, is baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit and having thus become members of one another we are responsible to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, rising above all sectarian prejudices and loving one another with a pure heart fervently.
“Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.”
