We believe that the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God and is our final authoritative source in the believers’ faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:16)
We believe in the triune God who is revealed as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are One. (Genesis1: 1-2, 26, John 14:18-27, I John 5:7-8)
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is the only begotten Son, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of Mary, crucified, died, buried, resurrected and ascended into heaven and now sits at the right hand of God the Father. (John 3:16, Luke 24:7, I Corinthians 15:12-23)
We believe that leaders should be launched and encouraged to use their lives as a pulpit, just as Jesus launched His disciples. (Luke 5: 1-11)
We believe that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and are in need of salvation and are saved by grace, through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. (Romans 3:23; 10:9-13, Acts: 4:12, Ephesians 2:8-9)
We believe that the local church is one of the places that those who have received the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior can assemble. They assemble for Christian fellowship, teaching and preaching of the Biblical principles and support from fellow believers. We also believe that other establishments, such as Christian ministries, spaces and organizations provide consciousness of morality for society and express the clear will of God for all mankind. (Hebrews 10:24-25, Acts 5:42)
We believe that many are called outside of the four walls of the church to infuse the ministry of Christ into everyday life and to affect the world thereby making disciples of all men wherever they may find themselves. (Matthew 28:16-20)
We believe that we should do just as the first Christians/ Early Church, who through sacrificial living and giving, shared and invested their resources into their immediate and surrounding community to benefit all. (Acts 2:42-47)
We believe in intentional spiritual growth just as the first Christians/Early Church, devoted themselves to praying for and with one another, encouraging one another, practicing and employing the principles of Jesus’ teachings into their own lives. (Acts 2: 42-43)
We believe in the observance of water baptism, through immersion as an act of obedience, Holy Communion and foot-washing, enabling Christians to live a holy life until Jesus’ return. (Matthew 26:29; 28:19, John 13:5, Acts 2:38, 10:47-48, I Corinthians 15:14, 1-4)
We believe that it is the will of God that each believer is filled with the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is the empowering force, for all gifts of the Spirit to operate individually and corporately.
(I Corinthians 12:4-11, Galatians 5:16-25, Acts 1:8)
We believe that leaders (male and female) are responsible for guiding and steering potential leaders and must be examples in word and deed. We also believe that the Lord Jesus Christ anoints every believer in understanding and applying the Word of God in their lives. (Acts 6: 1-8; 20:28, Hebrews 13:17, I Peter 5:1-3)
We believe in divine healing and the supernatural redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ, that it is available to every believer. (James 5:14, I Peter 2:24)
We believe in the resurrection of the dead to eternal life for believers’ and eternal damnation for unbelievers’. (Mark 9:43-50, II Thessalonians 1:9, Revelation 20:10-15)
We believe that every believer has the power to live a victorious, fulfilling, and overcoming life. (I John 5:4, John 10:10)
