About Us Information What We Believe Our Pastor About The Vineyard How To Know God

1. God the King, and The Holy Trinity...

· Deut 33:27, Romans 1:20, Isaiah 43:15, Psalm 147:5

2. God the King: The Creator And Ruler Of All Things...

· Psalm 45:6, John 1:1-3, Psalm 95:3-5, Psalm 22:28

3. Counterfeit Kingdom: Satan and Demonic Hosts…

· Revelation 12:7-9, 1 Corinthians 11:14, Ephesians 6:12

4. The Kingdom In The Creation of Man, The Fall, And the Doctrine of Original Sin…
· We believe that we were made in the likeness of God to govern the earth. Under temptation, our original parents fell from grace bringing sickness and sin under God's judgment of death to the earth. Human beings are born in sin and captive to Satan's domain of darkness.
· Genesis 1: 26,27, Revelation 12:9, Romans 5:12, Hebrews 9:27

6. Christ the Mediator And Eternal King…
· We believe that Jesus took God's judgment of sin when He went to the cross to atone for our sins. He died and rose from the dead on the third day fulfilling the covenant of blessing. He disarmed the demonic powers, and ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God Almighty where He rules with all power and authority.
· Galatians 3:12, John 1:29, Romans 1:32, Hebrews 1:1-3

He will bring the final defeat of Satan and all his kingdom, the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment and eternal blessing of the righteous and eternal punishment of the wicked.
