Our Beliefs
God
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has revealed Himself as one God existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and are one God. Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14; Ps. 90:2; 1 Pet. 1:2.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, the Saviour of men, conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He is totally God, coequal with the Father, and totally man. We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. He bodily ascended into heaven and will return someday for His church. Matt. 1:22-23; Is. 9:6; John 1:1-5, John 14:10-30; Heb. 4:14-15, 1 Cor. 15:1-4; Rom. 4:25.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is coequal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need of Jesus Christ. He longs to fill every Christian with His power and presence. He provides the believer with the power for victorious living, understanding of spiritual truths, guidance in doing what is right, and for the supernatural work of the ministry. 2 Cor. 3:17; John 14:16-17; 16:7-13; Acts 1:8.
The Bible
The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error. 2 Tim. 3:16; 1 Cor. 2:13.
Men
Man is created in the very own image of God. We are the supreme objects of God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience towards God called “sin”. This attitude separates people from God and causes all problems in life. Gen. 1:27; Ps. 8:3-6; Is. 53:6; 59:1-2; Rom. 3:23.
Salvation
Salvation is given to us freely by God with the cost of Jesus’ life on the cross, but we must accept it by faith. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God has raised Him from the dead, we will be saved. However, salvation is a life-long process. Eternal life begins at our conversion but after that comes “sanctification” – the continuing work of grace to make us holy and perfect as God is holy and perfect. Rom. 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9; John 14:6; Gal. 3:26; Rom. 10:9-10; 1 John 1:9-10.
Baptism
Baptism was instituted by the Lord as a command necessary for all to obey and to teach others to do so. There is no reason to delay baptism after believing in Jesus. It is important to remember that baptism is an act of obedience, a personal statement of faith, and a public declaration of identification with Jesus Christ. It is not wise to delay your baptism while waiting on the opinion of others. Matt. 28:19-20; Acts 19:1-6; Rom. 6:1-6.
Holy Communion
Holy Communion, also known as the Lord’s Supper, is an ordinance to remind us of the sufferings and death of Christ. The elements of bread and wine (or juice) are symbols of Christ's broken body and shed blood. We look to the past and what He has done for us, look in the present on how He is here with us, and look to the future, where He invites us into. We give thanks because we are not getting what we deserve - death. We celebrate and make a statement of faith, because we are getting what we do not deserve - life. 1 Cor. 11:23-29; Mark 14:22-26; Matt. 26:26-30
