What We Believe:

Holy Bible

The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final
authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible, and inerrant.

2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26

Trinity

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are
coequal and co-eternal.
1 John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-11

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100%
man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, performed miracles,
died on the cross for mankind, and thus atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose
from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and
will return in power and glory.
John 1:1,14, 20:28; 1 Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; Philippians 2:5-6; 1 Timothy 2:5

Virgin Birth

Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father, through the Holy Spirit (the third person of the Trinity) in
the virgin Mary’s womb; therefore, He is the Son of God.
Matthew 1:18, 25; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:27-35

Redemption

Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression he fell; his only hope of redemption is
in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21

Regeneration

For anyone to know God, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
John 6:44, 65; Matthew 19:28; Titus 3:5

Salvation

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ: His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift
from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts.
Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews 9:22

Repentance

Repentance is the commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to follow Christ, which
allows us to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Thus, through repentance
we receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation.

Acts 2:21, 3:19; 1 John 1:9

Sanctification

Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God’s Word and His Spirit in order to complete the
development of Christ’s character in us. It is through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Word
of God that the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.
1 Thessalonians 4:3, 5:23; 2 Corinthians 3:18, 6:14-18, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, Romans 8:29, 12:1-2,
Hebrews 2:11

Jesus’ Blood

The Blood that Jesus Christ shed on the Cross of Calvary was sinless and is 100% sufficient to cleanse
mankind of all sin. Jesus allowed Himself to be punished for both our sinfulness and our sins, enabling all
those who believe to be free from the penalty of sin, which is death.
1 John 1:7; Revelation 1:5, 5:9; Colossians 1:20; Romans 3:10-12, 23, 5:9; John 1:29

Jesus Christ Indwells All Believers

Christians are people who have invited the Lord Jesus Christ to come and live inside them by His Holy
Spirit. They relinquish the authority of their lives over to Him thus making Jesus the Lord of their life as
well as Savior. They put their trust in what Jesus accomplished for them when He died, was buried, and
rose again from the dead.
John 1:12; John 14:17, 23; John 15:4; Romans 8:11; Revelation 3:20

Baptism in the Holy Spirit

Given at Pentecost, it is the promise of the Father, sent by Jesus after His Ascension, to empower the
Church to preach the Gospel throughout the whole earth.
Joel 2:28-29; Matthew 3:11; Mark 16:17; Acts 1:5, 2:1-4, 17, 38-39, 8:14-17, 10:38, 44-47, 11:15-17,
19:1-6

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the church,
demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of the Gospel. The Bible’s lists of
these gifts are not necessarily exhaustive, and the gifts may occur in various combinations. All believers
are commanded to earnestly desire the manifestation of the gifts in their lives. These gifts always operate
in harmony with the Scriptures and should never be used in violation of Biblical parameters.
Hebrews 2:4; Romans 1:11, 12 :4-8; Ephesians 4:16; 1 Timothy 4:14; 2 Timothy 1:6-7; 1 Corinthians
12:1-31, 14:1-40; 1 Peter 4:10

The Church

The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for
the fulfillment of Jesus’ Great Commission. Every person who is born of the Spirit is an integral part of the
Church as a member of the body of believers. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus
Christ.
Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23; John 17:11, 20-23

Sacraments

Water Baptism:

Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of
God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16; Acts 8:12, 36-38; 10:47-48
The Lord’s Supper:

A unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread
and grape juice (the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus’
sacrifice on the Cross. Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 10:16, 11:23-25
Marriage:

We believe marriage is defined in the Bible as a covenant, a sacred bond between one man
and one woman, instituted by and publicly entered before God. Matthew 19:4-6

Healing of the Sick

Healing of the sick is illustrated in the life and ministry of Jesus and included in the commission of Jesus
to His disciples. It is given as a sign, which is to follow believers. It is also a part of Jesus’ work on the
cross and one of the gifts of the Spirit.
Psalm 103:2-3; Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:17-18; Acts 8:6-7; James 5:14-16;
1 Corinthians 12:9, 28; Romans 11:29

God’s Will for Provision

It is the Father’s will for believers to become whole, healthy, and successful in all areas of their life.
Believers should seek God’s blessing so that they would not only be blessed but live lives that are also a
blessing for those around them. We believe that Jesus died and resurrected in Power so that His
Kingdom would flourish on earth as it in heaven.

Types of Provision:
Spiritual: John 3:3-11; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Romans 10:9-10

Resurrection

Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead in a glorified body three days after His death on
the cross. In addition, both the saved and the lost will be resurrected; those that are saved to the
resurrection of life and those that are lost to the resurrection of eternal damnation.
Luke 24:16, 36, 39; John 2:19-21, 20:26-28, 21:4; Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15:42, 44;
Philippians 1:21-23, 3:21

Heaven is the eternal dwelling place for all believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 5:3, 12, 20, 6:20, 19:21, 25:34; John 17:24; 2 Corinthians 5:1; Hebrews 11:16; 1 Peter 1:4

Hell

After living one life on earth, the unbelievers will be judged by God and sent to Hell where they will be
eternally tormented with the Devil and the Fallen Angels.
