What do we believe?
We are convinced that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, the very face of God, God in the
flesh. In Jesus, God took our humanity into himself, becoming one with us – one with our life, hopes,
and dreams, as well as our fears, brokenness, and death. As we live in oneness with Jesus, he brings strength
to our weakness, healing to our brokenness, life to our death. King of Kings is a church that embraces the “three streams” of the Christian faith. We are fully
evangelical, fully charismatic, and fully liturgical/sacramental. Here's what we mean by that: Evangelical: we believe the Bible is the
inspired Word of God. We believe a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is essential to walking with God. Charismatic: we believe that God gave
his Holy Spirit to the Church to empower us for building up his kingdom, and that the gifts of the Holy Spirit should be active
in our lives.
Liturgical/sacramental:
we believe that God’s people best worship the Lord through liturgy that has been handed down from the early life of
the Church, and that in the sacraments (especially Baptism and Holy Communion) we receive God’s grace into our lives.

We believe that God has favor toward
us, desiring that all people know him and experience his love and presence.
We believe that Jesus Christ was and is God in
the flesh. Jesus is truly God, in human form. Jesus became one of us, and suffered and died as one of us, to meet us in our
brokenness and bring life out of death.
We believe in the presence and supernatural working of the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the truth and authority of
the Bible.
We believe in the truth of
the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds, and the power of the Sacraments. We also accept the 39 Articles of Religion as an accurate expression of the faith and practice of the Church.

We’re pretty conservative
when it comes to family, marriage, and personal morality. We love and welcome people who come from broken marriages or “alternate
lifestyles,” but we teach that God’s best for us is either celibate singleness or faithful marriage (between one
woman and one man). This isn’t just a rule we made up – it’s the teaching of the Scriptures and of 2,000
years of church history – so that’s what we believe and teach, without compromise.

In things
clearly taught by the Bible and the Creeds, we are unequivocal in our beliefs. In other areas that aren’t so clearly
laid out (like use of tobacco or alcohol, length of hair, body jewelry, tattoos, vegetarianism vs. meat-eating, shoes vs.
sandals), we mostly leave that between you and God. We do teach that whatever you do or however you dress, you should do
it out of love for God and with consideration and respect for the other people in your life.
