Statement of Faith

We believe in the Bible. It teaches authoritatively about God the Father, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Son; and about the salvation history of God on earth.

We believe in God as the Father of all believers who have come to accept the saving knowledge of His Anointed One. (John 17)

We believe in the Holy Spirit who inspires holy men to speak the Word of God (John 16:7-15), draws men to Christ for salvation, guides (Romans 8:14) and intercedes for believers (Romans 8:26).

We believe in Jesus Christ, the Holy Son of God, who lived a sinless life and had a miraculous ministry on Earth. (John 3:1-2) He was anointed in the New Testament as the Messiah, died on the cross as an atonement of sin for mankind, and became the redemption and triumph over Satan. (Hebrews 7:25)

We believe that humankind was originally created by God in His image and likeness (Genesis 1:27), but due to disobedience, humankind incurred both physical and spiritual death, and was plunged into sin. (Romans 6:23) Only through Christ, the Messiah, can humankind be saved and restored. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Salvation is both initiated by God’s calling and received by man’s choice and responsibility. (Romans 8:30) Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the condition of salvation (Acts 16:31). Faith involves repentance (Luke 24:47), having a change of mind towards sin (particularly the sin of rejecting Christ), and the Savior. A living faith is one that couples deeds and actions (James 2:26, John 3:24).

The Church is the Body of Christ that is comprised of believers who follow Christ as its Head. Its mission is to fulfill God’s purpose of creation in individuals, families and nations, and to bring to the ends of the earth a spirit-filled testimony about God’s salvation history through Christ. (Matthew 16:17-18 28:18-20, Ephesians 1:22-23, 2:19-22, Colossians 1:18)

The Local Church is a group of believers organized for the purposes of edification through preaching, teaching, fellowship and evangelism. (Ephesians 4:11-13, 2 Corinthians 5:18-21)
