The Bible

We believe in every word of the Old and New Testaments, that God inspired humans to write without error. The Bible is the Word of God. It is the standard of faith as well as the absolute truth for every aspect in a believer's life. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

God

We believe in the one true and eternal God, the Creator of everything. There is one God existent in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Each person is equal but has a different role, working together to deliver man from sin to receive salvation. (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14)

Jesus Christ

We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was supernaturally conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. While on earth, He was both perfectly God and perfectly man at the same time, and was without sin. He was crucified on the cross to save mankind from sin and physically rose from the dead on the third day to fulfill the will of the Father to provide salvation from sin to each person who believes in Him. He ascended physically to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. One day in the future, He will come again a second time to establish His kingdom. (Luke 1:26-38, Philippians 2:5-11, Hebrews 1:3-4)

The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is God who convicts people of sin and draws them to be born again. He dwells within believers to enable them to lead holy lives. As well, He helps believers live lives in obedience to His will and serve the Body of Christ using the gifts He has given them. We believe each gift of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Bible is still active in the Church today and should be developed to build up the Body. The baptism of the Holy Spirit, an experience separate from being born again, gives Christians power to serve God. Speaking in tongues as the Holy Spirit enables is the initial sign of being baptized in the Holy Spirit. In the Christian life, every believer must live in obedience to Christ and be under the covering of the Holy Spirit. A Christian should always be filled with the Holy Spirit. (Luke 24:49, John 15:26, Romans 12, Acts 2:4)

Angels and Evil Spirits

We believe God created many angels. These angels were created without sin but Lucifer intentionally sinned and was then called Satan. Some of the angels followed him to become fallen angels. Satan rules in this sinful world; however, he does not have power over God. He endeavors to destroy God's plan and man's life. (Ezekiel 28:13-15, Isaiah 14:12-14)

Man

We believe that Adam and Eve were created sinless, but they intentionally sinned, causing all humans to fall under the power of sin. For this reason, it is necessary for every person to receive salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Without salvation, a person will receive the penalty of eternal destruction in hell. (Genesis 1:26, Romans 5:12-18)

Salvation

We believe that a person can only be saved when he or she puts his or her faith in the Lord Jesus. Salvation is given by the grace of God and not because of one's own works. True confession, faith and trust in Christ will lead to repentance from sin. At the point of salvation, an individual becomes a new creation in Christ and is gradually transformed to become more like Jesus. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

The Church

We believe in the worldwide (universal) Church, made up of all those who trust in Christ throughout every age, together as the Body of Christ. In the same way, we believe in local churches which are made up of believers who regularly meet together in different areas to worship, hear the Word of God, fellowship, witness, take communion and pray, among other activities. Every Christian should be a member of a local church.

The Church is the answer to everything in human life. God's intent is to use the Church to touch every part of every human life in the world. The church is necessary for the needs of every human to be met and is the principle instrument that God uses to do so. (1 Corinthians 12:12-27, Ephesians 3:9-10)

Baptism and Communion

We believe that baptism is the immersion of a person completely in water as a symbol of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Those receiving baptism must be born again and have put their trust in the Lord Jesus. Communion is a ceremony to remember the death of Jesus. It is to be celebrated often, when believers gather together, until Jesus returns. (Acts 2:34-38, 1 Corinthians 11:23-32)

Healing

We believe it is God's normal intention to heal Christians who have sicknesses or diseases except at times when God allows them to leave this world to be with Him. The Church must follow the command of Christ to heal the sick through prayer and to minister to them through the miraculous power of God. We do not reject medicines or procedures from medical science, nor do we believe that God always heals the sick immediately. However we acknowledge that at times he has a purpose in gradually healing people. (Acts 4:30, 1 Corinthians 12:9, James 5:14)

Worship

We believe that Christians must worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. Worship is acknowledging the worthiness of God and opening our hearts to God. Worshipping according to Biblical patterns enables us to use outward expressions to come close to God. Some of the patterns we find in Scriptures include worship with other Christians, using musical instrument, singing, and using the gifts of the Holy Spirit during worship times. (John 4:23-24, Psalm 150:1-6)

Eternal Judgment

We believe that every person will rise from the dead on the final day. Believers will live with God in heaven and will be eternally blessed. Those who do not believe will be judged and receive eternal punishment in hell. (John 5:24, 2 Thessalonians 1:9, Revelation 20:10-15)

Obedience to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ

According to Matthew 28:18-20, every Christian must live their lives to fulfill the Great Commission, regardless of ethnicity, economy or geography. Our intention is to reach the entire world for God; acting locally, but thinking globally.

A biblical method for evangelizing the world is to plant seed churches. A seed church is one that inherently has the potential to plant other churches until the entire country is saturated with such seed churches.
