Statement of Faith

1. We believe in the bible as the inspired Word of God without error and as final authority for our Christian life. (2 Tm. 3:16)

2. We believe in One God in Three Divine Persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

3. We believe that Jesus Christ is the begotten Son of God the Father, who was made flesh by the power of the Holy Spirit through the virginal womb of Mary. We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true Man.

4. We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person who convicts man of sin and judgment, that He is our Teacher of righteousness and our Comforter. He is not a force, an energy or thing.

5. We believe that man is created in the image and likeness of God but fell into sin and lost his divine character, attribute and innocence and that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone and only through the regeneration of the spirit that salvation and forgiveness of sins are attained.

6. We believe the shed blood of Jesus Christ as the basis and ground for justification and salvation of all believers.

7. We believe that the Church is an organized group of people who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Lord of the Church.

8. We believe that Jesus Christ, although God who was made flesh, allowed Himself to experience the pain of human suffering; that He assumed man’s human nature in order to redeem man; that He took upon Himself the sins of mankind and bought man by His blood. He was crucified, died and was buried but rose again on the third day as a sign of His victory over death and hell. And after 40 days He ascended into heaven and sat onto the right hand throne of God the Father.

9. We believe that all the believers of Jesus Christ who died will be resurrected on the last day to inherit glorified bodies of immortality and eternal life while the believers who remain on earth on that Day will never taste death but will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air for His coming while the unbelievers who died will also be resurrected to receive judgment of eternal punishment in the lake of fire.
