The Scriptures
We believe all Scripture as originally written is inspired of God and accept it as final authority in all matters of doctrine
and practice.
II Timothy 3:16, 17; II Peter 1:21
The Godhead
We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, co-eternal in being,
co-equal in power and glory, of the same essence, and having the same attributes.
Deuteronomy 6:4; John 14:26; Matthew 28:19; Romans 1:7; Hebrews 1:8; Acts 5:3,4
The Person and Work of Christ
We believe that: Jesus Christ is the Son of God, He left heaven’s glories to be born of a virgin, He lived a sinless
life, He died for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice, He rose from the dead, He ascended to the right hand of God where
He makes intercession for the believers. We believe He is true God and true man.
Philippians 2:5-11; Matthew 1:18-25; I Peter 2:22; I Corinthians 15:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; Hebrews 7:25; Luke 19:10; John 3:16-18
The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; that He regenerates
sinners; that He baptizes all believers into the body of Christ, and that He seals them unto the day of redemption. We also
believe He indwells, empowers, and instructs believers.
John 16:7-14; I Corinthians 12:12-14; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 1:13,14
Man
We believe man was created in the image of God. Man sinned and thereby received spiritual death which is separation from
God. Since Adam’s sin, man has inherited a sinful nature. He is totally depraved and utterly unable of himself to remedy
his lost condition.
Genesis 1:26,27; Genesis 3; Romans 5:12; Psalm 51:5; Ephesians 2:1-3, 12.
Salvation
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary
sacrifice, that all who believe in Him are justified by faith and regenerated by the Holy Spirit becoming the children of
God. We believe salvation is received by grace through faith in the shed blood of Christ and by this act we are made members
of the body of Christ which is the true church.
I Corinthians 15:1-4; Ephesians 1:7; John 1:12; Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 10:9-13
Satan
We believe that Satan is a created being whose power is second only to God. He rebelled against God, and has become the
open and declared enemy of God and man. We believe that Satan is the author of sin, that he caused the fall of the human race,
and that he continues to tempt and accuse the believers before God. We believe he shall be eternally punished in the lake
of fire.
Ezekiel 28:11-16; Genesis 3; I Peter 5:8,9; Revelation 12:10; 20:10
The Future
We believe in the personal, premillennial, and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We believe in the bodily
resurrection of all men – the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment.
I Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1:9,10; John 5:28,29
The Church
We believe that all born again believers constitute the universal church which is the body and espoused bride of Christ.
Ephesians 1:22,23; Ephesians 5:25-27; I Corinthians 12:12-14; II Corinthians 11:2
Evangelization
We believe the primary mission of the church is to carry out the Great Commission as outlined in Matthew 28:18-20. We believe
our goal should be to train spiritual reproducers who can win and train other.
II Timothy 2:2
Church Ordinances
We believe the two ordinances of the church are baptism and the Lords’s Supper.
Baptism – Christ commanded His disciples to "teach (disciple) all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." Matthew 28:19. It follows that true believers should obey His commandment by becoming
scripturally baptized. We believe that scriptural baptism by immersion is the outward testimony of the inward spiritual transformation
in the life of one who has trusted Christ for salvation.
Acts 2:38-41; Acts 8:36-38
The Lord’s Supper – The Lord’s Supper, which was instituted by Christ, is a commemoration of His death
to be observed regularly by all believers – an occasion when we meditate upon what Christ did for us on the cross. The
two emblems, the bread (unleavened bread) and the wine (unfermented grape juice) represent His body and His blood which was
shed for the remission of sins.
I Corinthians 11:23-30
