STATEMENT OF FAITH

One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism

We believe in one Lord, one Faith, and one Baptism. Ephesians 4:5

The Holy Bible

We believe that the Holy Bible is the Word of God. It is true. It contains the keys to inheriting eternal life, and it reveals the mystery of our faith. John 5:39; Deuteronomy 29:29

The Oneness of God

We believe in the oneness of God, who was the Father of creation, the Son in redemption, and today, He is the Holy Ghost in the Church. I Timothy 3:16

Jesus is God

We believe that Jesus is God, for in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form. We proclaim Lord Jesus Christ is the name of God that was given to this generation as the only name where by the people of this grace dispensation of time can be saved. Colossians 2:9; Acts 4:12

Salvation & Baptism

God's Plan of Salvation

We accept God's plan of salvation of baptism by water and Spirit. Jesus Christ, who was our perfect example, though sinless, was baptized to fulfill righteousness. John 3:5; Matthew 3:15

Water Baptism

We believe that water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is essential for the forgiveness of sins and confirms our belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Acts 2:38; Acts 8:37

Rebirth by the Holy Spirit

We believe that rebirth by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential today as it was in the days of the Apostles. Acts 2:4

The Great Commission

We believe that the Word of God must be proclaimed throughout the world, according to God's commandments. Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:15; Romans 10:18

Our Blessed Hope

Our blessed hope lies in Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given us the victory over death and hell. Therefore, standing firm on his promise, we anticipate the second coming of Jesus Christ – that great day of resurrection which shall surely come. On that day, the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then, we who are alive and remain will be changed, and caught up together with them in the air. And so shall we forever be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. John 14:3; I Corinthians 15:51-58; I Thessalonians 4:15-17
