What We Believe

Our Beliefs

Rooted and grounded in the Word of God; living out holiness in heart and life.

Our faith is anchored in the unchanging truth of God's Word. These beliefs form the foundation of our community and guide us in worship, fellowship, and service.

One God

One God

God, in His intrinsic essence, is unseen (John 1:18; 1 Timothy 1:17), beyond human comprehension (Luke 10:22; Matthew 11:27), and not confined to material form (John 4:24). He exists everywhere (Psalm 139:7–12) and is one in both number and unity (Deuteronomy 6:4).

As the Creator, He is the Father of all creation (Isaiah 63:16; 9:6; Psalm 89:26) and relates to humanity with care and compassion (Psalm 103:13; Matthew 9:6).

The Word is the self-manifestation of God (John 1:1–3), the divine expression of Himself (Hebrews 1:1–3; Isaiah 9:6), and the extension of His divine presence (Revelation 5:6–7), existing from eternity past (Micah 5:2; Revelation 1:8).

The Holy Spirit is the indwelling presence of God within believers (Jeremiah 31:31–33; Romans 8:9). There is one Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13), known as the Spirit of Grace (Hebrews 10:29), the Spirit of God (Romans 8:9), and the Spirit of Jesus (John 14:17–18; Acts 16:7; 2 Corinthians 3:17). The Holy Spirit dispenses God's grace during the Church Age (Acts 2:38; 1 Corinthians 12:1) and is essential for salvation (Acts 2:36–38; 11:14; Romans 8:9).

Jesus

Jesus

We believe in the dual nature of Jesus Christ—fully God and fully man. As the Word made flesh (John 1:1, 14; Micah 5:2), He is the physical manifestation of God (1 Timothy 3:16), the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15), and the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily in Him (Colossians 2:9).

Jesus is knowable (Hebrews 1:1–3), approachable (Matthew 11:28–30), understandable (John 14:8), and tangible (1 John 1:1–3; John 20:27). He reveals the Father (John 14:9; 17:6) and is the only way to the Father (Matthew 11:27; John 14:6–8). He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the Almighty (Revelation 1:8).

In His humanity, Jesus was born of Mary (Matthew 2:1; Luke 2:33–34; Galatians 4:4). He is the second and last Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45, 47) and the Son of God by birth and divine declaration (Luke 1:35; Romans 1:3–4; Acts 13:33).

Through His death, burial, and resurrection, He triumphed over death, hell, and the grave (1 Corinthians 15:1–4). His name carries supreme authority, embodying all power of the Godhead (John 5:43; Philippians 2:9; John 14:13–14, 26; Acts 4:12).

Jesus Christ will return to gather His Church (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17), and afterward will return again to establish His kingdom on earth (Revelation 19:11–16; Matthew 24:29–31).

The Bible

The Bible

The Bible is divinely inspired, infallible, and authoritative—given by God Himself (2 Timothy 3:16; Ephesians 3:5; 2 Peter 3:2).

The Gospel, meaning "good news," proclaims that Christ bore sin once for all humanity, offering salvation to all who believe in Him through faith (Romans 1:16–17; Acts 2:37).

Plan of Salvation

Plan of Salvation

Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12 — Humanity is born into sin and separated from God by nature.

Ephesians 2:8; 2 Peter 3:9 — Salvation is made available to all through God's grace, and it is His desire that none should perish.

Acts 2:38; 1 Peter 3:21; Romans 8:10 — Salvation comes through obedience to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which includes repentance, baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues.

Holiness

Holiness

2 Corinthians 6:17; 7:1; Hebrews 12:14

All believers are called to holiness—both inwardly and outwardly. Inward holiness reflects the transformation of character according to biblical, moral, and spiritual principles. Outward holiness is the visible expression of faith through conduct, behavior, and appearance.

Without holiness, no one shall see the Lord.

Eternity

Eternity

1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 20:11–15

Jesus Christ will return to take His Church. There will be a final resurrection and final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the wicked eternal death.
