WHAT WE BELIEVE
THE SCRIPTURES
We believe and accept the Bible, including the 39 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament as the written, inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God. The word of God is sufficient to solve humanistic problems and remains perpetually relevant (2 Timothy 3:16,17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; and 2 Peter 1:20,21.)
GOD IS TRIUNE
We believe that there is only one God, who is almighty, eternal, perfect, holy, and infinite. He perpetually exists in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit and are co-existence, co-equal, and co-eternal.
JESUS CHRIST
We believe that Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God was the eternal Word made flesh or incarnate. We acknowledge the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. He was fully God and fully Man. We recognize His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death on the cross through His shed blood to redeem us from sin and eternal damnation. We believe in His bodily resurrection, His physical ascension to heaven, His present position at the right hand of the Father making intercession for us, and His second coming in power and glory to reward the just and the wicked according to their deeds. (Matthew 16:16,17 and 25:31-46; Mark 14:61,62; Luke 1:34,35 and 2:7; John 1:1 and 1:14 and 5:22-30 and 10:30 and 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 2:22-24.)
We believe humanity is lost without Christ and that salvation depends on accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and savior. Jesus is the only way to the Father (John 1:12; Acts 2:38,39 and 8:26-40 and 16:25-34; 1 Peter 3:21,22.).
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit. He is the Lord and Giver of life who convicts of sin, brings repentance and the new birth, and dwells within the new regenerate (2Corinthians 3:6, Galatians 5:5). Lost and sinful people can only be saved through the regenerative power of the Holy Spirit. (John 16:8-11; Acts 2:38; Romans 8:9; Galatians 5:16-26; 1 John 3:24.).
We believe that through the Holy Spirit’s indwelling and anointing, the believer is empowered to live piously. Sanctification and the regenerative work of the holy Spirit in the life of a Christian is an ongoing work. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit which empowers believers for Christian witness and service and the impartation of His supernatural gifts for the edification of the Body and the work of the ministry.
MAN
We believe that God made man – male and female in His own image in order to have fellowship and communion with Him. Man became depraved because he consciously rebelled against God. Unregenerate man is the enemy of God as well as under the dominion and curse of Satan and sin regardless of his achievements. The only hope for man is acceptance of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God; marriage is between a man and a woman based on Scriptures, and a husband and wife must uphold God's standard of marriage.
THE CHURCH
We believe in the fellowship and unity of believers (John 17:22, Hebrews10:25). The church exist exclusively to glorify God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, serve Him by walking in Truth, living by faith, walking in the Spirit, fulfilling the great commission, and obeying Him according to His will, purpose, and plans..
HEAVEN AND HELL
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost. Those who accept Christ will spend eternity with Him in heaven and those who reject Him will face eternal damnation in hell (Genesis 1:26,27; Matthew 25:31-46; Romans 3:23 and 6:23; 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10; Revelation 20:11-15 and 22:3-5.)
