Beliefs
Molding believers, influencing the world
- The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17). It serves as the foundation of our faith, providing guidance for life, doctrine, and spiritual growth.
- God
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who is Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer of all things (Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19).
- Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully God and fully human. Through His life, death, and resurrection, He offers salvation to all who believe in Him and trust in His sacrifice (John 3:16, Romans 5:8-10).
- The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit dwells in every believer, empowering them for holy living, guiding them in truth, and equipping them with spiritual gifts for ministry (John 14:16-17, Galatians 5:22-23).
- Salvation
We believe that salvation is a gift from God, offered by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. It is not earned by works but given freely to those who repent and believe (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9).

We believe in baptism by immersion as a public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ and a symbol of new life. We celebrate the Lord’s Supper in remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice and as a proclamation of His return (Matthew 28:19, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26).
- Christian Living
We believe that believers are called to live transformed lives, reflecting Christ’s love through faith, integrity, and service to others (Romans 12:1-2). Faith must be accompanied by good works as evidence of a changed heart (James 2:17).
- Eternity
We believe in eternal life with God for believers and eternal separation from God for those who reject Him (John 14:2-3, Revelation 20:15).
