We believe in the personal, visible, and imminent return of Jesus Christ to earth. His coming will occur in two phases: first, the Rapture of the Church before the Great Tribulation, when believers will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air; second, His return to earth with the Church to establish His millennial kingdom. The Second Coming will culminate in the final judgment, the resurrection of all people, and the establishment of the new heaven and new earth (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 19:11-16; 20:1-6; 21:1-4).
We affirm: The pre-tribulation rapture of the Church and the premillennial return of Christ.
We deny: That Christ’s return is spiritual only or that His kingdom is merely present reality.
