WHAT WE BELIEVE
WE BELIEVE
that God who
created the
universe and
man, is a
personal God who
desires a
relationship
with man. There
is
only one God,
but in the unity
of the Godhead
there are three
eternal and
coequal persons
(Father, Son,
Holy Spirit).
WE BELIEVE
that Jesus
Christ is Head
of the Church.
He is God
revealed in the
flesh – born of
a virgin, lived
a sinless life,
died a
substitutionary
death,
resurrected
bodily from the
grave, ascended
to heaven and
will personally
return to claim
His church and
set up His
earthly kingdom.
WE BELIEVE
that the person
of the Holy
Spirit is the
presence of God
on earth today.
The Spirit’s
activities today
include
convincing
individuals of
their need for
Christ,
imparting
eternal life,
indwelling and
baptizing each
believer at the
point of
salvation into
the body of
Christ, sealing
each believer
until Christ
returns,
illuminating the
written Word of
God to each
believer, and
enabling the
believer to live
the Christian
life.
WE BELIEVE
that the Bible
is God’s verbal,
complete and
infallible
revelation to
man.
WE BELIEVE
that personal
faith in Jesus
Christ is the
only condition
for man’s
salvation.
WE BELIEVE
in the
commandment of
Jesus Christ to
love one another
and to serve one
another. Jesus
Christ
established the
local church as
a gathering of
his people for
mutual support,
love and
service.
WE BELIEVE
that the Holy
Spirit is
continually
working with
each believer,
sharpening his
or her gifts and
skills, to be
effective
ministers in the
kingdom of God.
WE BELIEVE
in the great
commission given
by Jesus Christ
to make
disciples. It is
incumbent upon
the church to
reach out with
God’s healing
message (the
Gospel) to the
world.
WE BELIEVE
that Jesus
established a
principle of
ministry to the
non-believer,
which was
characterized by
understanding,
compassion,
healing and
love. The church
is responsible
to follow this
principle.
