What We Believe
One God
We believe in One God, maker of heaven and earth, creator of all life. A God, who is eternal, self-existent, all powerful and self-sufficient. A God, who governs His creation, without consultation or consent. He eternally exists in three persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
II.
The Lord Jesus Christ
We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God full of grace and truth. Who was made manifest as God in the flesh as a result of the virgin birth and the work of the Holy Spirit. He lived a sinless life, was crucified and made a propitiation for the sin of the whole world. He arose from the dead and is seated at the right hand of God, and is our great high priest and mediator. He will return to earth again in awe and power.
III.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and is equal with the Father. He is God’s presence in the world to empower men to see their need for Jesus Christ. He resides within every Christian and endows us with the ability to see, understand and walk in truth. He is readily available to help the believer live victoriously in every area of his/her life.
IV.
God’s Holy Word
We believe the Bible is the eternal, infallible and authoritative word of God. It was written for mankind and was divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit. It bears witness of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. It is the absolute source of truth for all people.
V.
The Fall of Man
We believe that man was made in the image and likeness of God with a free will to accept or reject God his Creator. Man willfully disobeyed God’s Word, and was spiritually and eternally separated from Him;
VI.
Salvation
We believe Salvation is God’s free gift to all mankind. By His grace, we are saved through faith in Christ Jesus. We believe that everyone who repents of his/her sins and believes Jesus paid their sin debt shall be saved. Salvation is God’s show of love to the world. Through the death, burial, resurrection of Jesus Christ, man was reunited with God through His son. Upon accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior, we became indwelled by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.
VII.
Baptism
We believe Baptism is a biblical command and demonstrates our love and obedience to Christ. Its symbolism is of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Water baptism is a Christian’s declaration by immersion in water of their acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savior. It is not a requirement of salvation.
VIII.
Communion
Communion, or the Lord’s Supper, is an ordinance given to all believers by Jesus Christ to commemorate his sacrifice for us and to symbolize the new covenant. The elements of bread and wine or juice are symbols of Christ’s broken body and shed blood. Communion is a testament of a believer’s faith in the atoning work of the cross.
IX.
The Church (The Bride of Christ)
The Church of Jesus Christ is the universal, spiritual body of believers from every community and country and is of every creed, color, and communication of peoples, indwelt by God, through the Holy Spirit and divinely empowered to fulfill ministry and her Great Commission on earth. We believe Jesus is the head of the Church.
X.
Heaven And Hell
In the resurrection and final judgment of both the saved and the lost, the saved to everlasting life and the lost to everlasting damnation
