What we believe

   Hope Chapel is as an interdenominational fellowship. We are fundamental and unapologetic in our presentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. In a day when diluted messages are producing diluted people, we stress a straightforward proclamation of the Word of God, emphasizing what we consider to be the foundational truths of Jesus Christ for those who believe. We are members of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. The term Foursquare stands for the fourfold ministry of Jesus as:

• The Bible is the foundation for Christian living.
  
• There is only one God, existing as three persons: Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy Spirit.
  
• In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the father, in His glorious future return.
  
• The only means of being cleansed from sin is acknowledging Jesus Christ as the source of our salvation and the resource of power filled living.
  
• The presence of the ministry of the Holy Spirit, who comes to glory and magnify Jesus, lifting Him up so that all men will be drawn into the Kingdom. We believe it is His indwelling presence in our lives that brings us into fruitfulness and fulfillment.
  
• Interdenominational fellowship with all members of the Christian faith. We recognize that we are all members of the same body of Christ, though we may go by different names and points of emphasis.
  
• The ministry and authority of the believer- that we have been called equipped to extent the perimeters of the Kingdom of God by living power-filled lives.
  
• In water baptism by immersion as the first step of obedience - Water Baptism, a public declaration of our commitment to a new way of life, a farewell to an old way of thinking, and a signpost of a life-changing decision.
  
• In the baptism in the Holy Spirit in accordance to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus left, He promised He would send another comforter who would live in us, lead us, and guide us into truth.
  
• In healing and deliverance- we believe in divine healing and the power of Jesus to heal the sick and the afflicted in answer to believing prayer.
  
• In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting punishment.
