OUR BELIEFS

  • As revealed unto us by the Bible, we believe that there is only one God, Who is the Creator of both visible and invisible creatures -Gen. 1:1; Ps. 86:9-10; Is. 43:10-11; John 1:1-3. Only God will be in existence forever. Ez. 3:14; in God every creature receives life -John 5:26.

  • We believe that He is the Son of God; Who took away our sins, and the Savior of the world. We also believe that Jesus is God and was born by Mary the Virgin. He is God revealed in the flesh. Through Him all things were created. John 1:1-14; John 14:9; Matt. 1:18-25, Is 9:6; Is 53:5-6. We believe in His death on the Cross, and resurrection, by which He brought redemption – Is. 53:4-10; I Pet. 2:24; John 10:11; Gal. 3:13, Matt. 20:28; I Cor. 15:3; Rom. 4:25; II Cor. 5:14; Heb 2:9; Heb 9:26.

  • The Holy Spirit is the third Person in the TRINITY. He has the same power, the same glory with God the Father and God the Son – John 14:16-17; John 15:26; Matt. 3:16; Acts 13:24. He is one with Father and the Son who is to be worshiped and served. Three Persons that become one are the source of blessings to all the living creatures in Heaven and on earth – Matt. 28:19; II Cor. 13:14; I John 1:5-7. The Holy Spirit has a great work to perform. He Teaches, He Speaks to men, and bears witness in us – Acts 16:6-7; He performs the work of regeneration for man- John 3:5-6; He also performs the work of Sanctification in the born again souls until they are fully sanctified – John 16:8; Eph 1:17-19; II Thess. 2:13; I Cor. 6:11. This same Holy Spirit endows believers with gifts they can use – I Cor 12:7; He empowers one in the Lord. Acts 1:8.

  • The egg is comprised of three parts: The yellow yolk, the whitish part, and the shell. Despite these three (3) substances, the egg is not three but one. Likewise, we believe that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost are one God, but made of three persons – hence they are ONE IN TRINITY – Gen. 1:16-29; Matt. 3:16-17; Matt. 18:19.

  • Things He created. Gen. 1:26. God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul – Gen 2:7. Therefore man is of three parts, namely body, soul and spirit. Man is God’s ambassador on earth to take control over all other creatures on His behalf on earth. Gen. 1:26-28. God allows man to take part in His work and thereby reveal His love for mankind more than any other creatures – Gen. 2:15. This also shows how God elevates man more than the other creatures upon the earth.

  • Repentance is the sorrow of a godly man for his sins with decision to abstain from them – Acts 3:19; 20:21; II Cor. 7:10; Mark 1:15; Is. 55:7; II Chron. 7:14; Ezek. 18:21.

  • We believe sanctification is a work of God’s grace that progressively purifies the soul. It follows justification and regeneration, made possible through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ (I Thess. 4:3). 

  • We believe all church members should undergo water baptism by immersion, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as obedient believers upholding the full truth of God's Word (Matt. 28:19). 

    Water baptism serves as a visible sign of true repentance and symbolizes a believer’s union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. It marks a turning away from the world and its sinful ways (Rom. 6:3-4). 

  • We believe that all born-again believers should seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit, as promised by the Father. It is a gift for all who obey God, and its evidence is speaking in tongues, just as the Apostles experienced (Acts 1:4-5).

  • We believe marriage is honorable and should be conducted in the church with reverence. Members are to avoid worldly practices such as drumming, dancing, drunkenness, and inappropriate attire, honoring God in both conduct and appearance (Heb. 13:4).

  • We believe that Jesus Christ instituted the Lord’s Supper before His death, commanding all Christians to regularly gather and share the bread and wine in remembrance of Him until His return (I Cor. 11:23-26).

  • We believe that all born-again believers experience the resurrection of the spirit, passing from death to life. At physical death, the spirit enters a heavenly home, while the body will be resurrected on the last day. The righteous will rise to eternal life, but sinners will face resurrection to judgment and separation from God (I Cor. 15: 42 – 44). 

  • We believe Jesus will return visibly and physically, just as He ascended. His return will occur in two stages: first, the rapture of the saints to meet Him in the sky, and second, His return to earth to judge sinners and the ungodly (Acts 1:9-11).

  • We believe the Bible teaches both eternal life for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked (Matt. 25:46). 

  • We believe parents should bring their child to the church for dedication to the Lord on the eighth day after birth (1 Sam. 1:22).
