We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is infallible and is the revealed will of God to humanity. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21)
There is only one living and true God, the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of humankind. There are three persons in the Godhead: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:2,27; Isaiah 43:10,11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22; 1 John S:7)
We believe that man was created in the image of God but because of voluntary transgression, he lost his fellowship with the Heavenly Father, resulting in both spiritual and physical death. (Genesis 1:26,27; Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:6; Romans 5:12-19)
We believe Jesus Christ, conceived of the Virgin Mary, is the only begotten Son of the Father. Jesus was crucified, buried and rose from the dead. He ascended to Heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor. (Luke 1:26-33; Hebrews 7:25)
Salvation is only through confession of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. (Acts 4:12; Romans 10:9-10; John 14:6)
We believe we are justified (declared righteous under the blood of Jesus) when we repent of our sins and believe in Jesus Christ. (Acts 13:38, 39; Romans 5:1; I Corinthians 6:11; Mark 1:5) A true repentance bring forth transformation. (Ephesian 4:24; Titus 2:12)
We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues, as the Spirit gives the utterance. We believe in the operation of the nine Gifts of the Spirit and encourage our people to live so that these gifts may be manifest in their lives. We also believes that for a church to be fully functional, these gifts need to be operational. (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:6; I Corinthians 12:4-11)
We believe in water baptism by immersion in water in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 3:11; Matthew 28:18-19; John 14:6)
We believe that God is the Healer. We consider medical science as one of the pathways of healing. (Acts 3:2-12; Acts 5:15,16; James 5:14-15)
We believe every blessing we receive from God comes through the merits of The Atonement (Jesus’ complete sacrifice for us on Calvary). (Romans 5:11; James 1:16, 17)
We believe in the Second Coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ for a Church who is ready to meet Him. (Acts 1:10,11; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 1:7)
