STATEMENt of Faith

WE BELIEVE IN THE GOD THE FATHER

WE BELIEVE in God, the Eternal Spirit, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our Father, and to his deeds, we testify: He calls the world into being, creates man in His image, and sets before him the ways of life and death.

WE BELIEVE IN JESUS

WE BELIEVE in Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen Lord, He has come to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and death and reconciling the world to Himself. 

HOLY SPIRIT

WE BELIEVE We believe in the Holy Spirit, fully divine, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. He Convicts, regenerates, and sanctifies, and guides believers into all truth. (Jn 14:26; 16:8-11; Rom 8:14; 1 Pet 1:2).

THE FALL OF HUMANITY

WE BELIEVE that all people have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and therefore are separated from God. (Rom 3:23, 6:23; Gen 3:1-7; Rom 5:12-21).

THE ATONEMENT

WE BELIEVE that faith in Jesus Christ alone is the only path to salvation. Through his sufferings, shed blood, death on the cross, and resurrection, he has made the full atonement for our sins. We receive salvation by grace through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. (Rom 3:21, 8:1-4, 2 Cor 5:18-21; Gal 1:4; Eph 1:7; Col 1:14; Heb 9:25-26; 1 Pet 1:19-20).

THE CHURCH

WE BELIEVE that the church, the body of Christ, is the community of people who confess faith in Jesus Christ. While universal, the church is local in expression and witness. It exists for worship, fellowship, evangelism, discipleship, and mission. Gifts of ministry are given by Christ to strengthen and mature the church. (Eph 1:22-23; 2:22; Heb 12:23).

THE HOLY BIBLE

WE BELIEVE that the Bible is God's inerrant, inspired, and infallible word and our highest authority for faith and practice. (2 Tim 3:16-17, Matt 4:4; 24:35; Ps 19:7-8).

WATER BAPTISM

WE BELIEVE in water baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This act serves as a public declaration of a person's faith in and identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Matt 28:19-20; Mk 16:16; Acts 10:47-48; 2:38-39; Rom 6:4-5; Col 2:12).

THE LORD’S SUPPER

WE BELIEVE in the Lord's Supper, which serves as a symbolic remembrance of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ until He returns. (Matt 26:26-28; Lk 22:15-20, 1 Cor 11:23-26).

THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST

WE BELIEVE in and anticipate the personal return of Jesus Christ to gather His people and judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will be everlasting. (Jn 14:1-3; 1 Thes 4:15-17; 2 Thes 2:1; Tit 2:13; James 5:7-8; 1 Jn 2:28; 3:2-3).

MARRIAGE

WE BELIEVE that the Biblical view of marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in a single union in accordance with Jesus teaching in Matthew 19:4-6 (Gen 1:27 and 2:24).
