What We Believe
God is the creator and ruler of the universe. He is alive, and eternally existing in three personalities – The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. God is the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead after three days and is now in heaven. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Holy Trinity. The Holy Spirit is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit restrains evil in the world and convicts men of their sins, and judgment. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the belivers with the power to live a Christ-centered life and gives understanding of spiritual truths and guidance in doing what is right. He gives spiritual gifts to believers.
The Bible is God’s word to us. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. The Bible is the inspired Word of God, infallible and inerrant. The Bible is our primary source for faith and practice.
People are made in the image of God, to be like Him in character. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God, called sin. Sin separates people from God and is the root cause of many problems in human life.

Salvation is a sovereign gift from God and it is received by man through a personal faith in Jesus Christ. We can never make up for our sins by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. New life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
Marriage is defined as the unity between one man and one woman in covenant and commitment for a lifetime with God as instituted in the Bible. Marriage is the foundational institution ordained by God. The husband and wife are commanded to be fruitful and multiply and raise a Godly generation.

Baptism is not a means of salvation but a visible sign of God’s gracious initiative and the human individual’s response in faith. The baptism represents the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It symbolizes the death and burial of the old self of the repentant believer, and the joyous birth of a brand new being in Christ
