C. The Grace of Giving

We believe that each member is encouraged to enter into the blessings of giving and by returning to the Lord the tithe and love offerings; and that each member should bring their tithes and freewill offerings into the storehouse (common treasury of the church) upon the first day of the week.

Mal. 3:8-10; I Cor. 16:1,2; II Cor. 9:6-7; Matt. 6:3-4, 19-21.

IX. The Resurrection

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the grave; that it sets a precedent for all mankind; that the first resurrection involves the righteous dead into eternal life with Christ, followed by the resurrection of the unrighteous to eternal damnation.

I Cor. 15:1-5; Rev. 20:6,11-15; John 5:28,29; I Thess. 4:13-18; I Cor. 15:51-53.

X. The Return of Christ

We believe in the bodily, imminent, personal, pre-millennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ; that He will first come to catch up His Church; that He will later return to establish His earthly kingdom.

I Thess. 4:13-18; Rev. 19:11-16; 20:4-6.
