What We Believe

What do we believe?

The Scriptures:

We believe that the Scriptures (The Holy Bible) which includes the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, are the revealed Word of God, infallibly given by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and inerrant in the original manuscripts.

We believe that the Scriptures have been given and supernaturally preserved in order that we may certainly know what we are to believe concerning God and what He requires of us.

As such, we consider the Bible alone as our final rule and authority for all matters of faith, life and conduct. (Psalm 119:97-104; Psalm 119:160; Deut. 8:3 Matthew 5:17-18; John 5:46-47; John 10:35; 2 Timothy 3:15-16. Heb.1:1-2, 2Pet. 1:21)

The Godhead:

We believe that God is spirit, infinite, eternal, and incomparable in all that He is; and that He is unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth. We believe that there is only one living and true God, and that He eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, our Creator, our Redeemer and our Sanctifier; and these three are one God having precisely the same nature, attributes, and perfections while each is worthy of preciously the same homage, confidence and obedience. He is the God of truth and without iniquity, He is just, right and He shall judge the world. (Deut. 6:4, Matt.28:19, Jn. 4:24, Psa. 90:2, Ja. 1:17)

We believe God the Father, the first person of the Trinity, as the Creator, reigns over this entire universe with providential care. He is all-powerful, all-loving, all-knowing and all-wise. He is fatherly in attitude towards all men but is Father, indeed, to those who have become children of God through Jesus Christ. (Gen.1:1, 1 Chr. 29:10, Jer. 10:10, Mat. 6:9, Acts 1:7, Rom. 8:14-15, 1 Cor. 8:6, 1 Cor. 15:24, Eph. 4:6)

We believe in the total deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father through the Holy Spirit, was born of the Virgin Mary, and is true man without ceasing to be God. We believe Him to be true God and true man. He was sinless and lived a sinless life, died on the cross as a perfect sacrifice for our sins, was buried, and rose bodily from the dead. He ascended in to heaven, was exalted by the Father, and now intercedes as our High Priest and Advocate, and He will personally return in power and glory, First in the air for His saints and then to the earth with His saints. (Jn. 1:1, 1:14, 1:18; Jn. 14:8-9, 1 Tim. 3:16).

We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, of God’s righteousness and of coming judgment and he regenerates the ones who believes in Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit indwells guides, instructs, fills, comforts and empowers the believer for godly living. The Holy Spirit also distributes the spiritual gifts to the believers so that the church will be edified. (Mk.13:11, Jn.14:26, Jn.16:13, Rom.5:5, 1 Cor.3:16, Jn.16: 8-11).

God's Purpose & Man's Aim:

We believe that God's ultimate purpose in all that He does is to bring glory to Himself. Therefore, we believe that our one aim in life and death should be to glorify God and enjoy Him forever; and although God teaches us how to glorify Him in the Scriptures, we are able to do so only through the Lord Jesus Christ in the power of His Holy Spirit. (Isa. 48:11, Jn. 17:1-5, Matt. 5:16, 1 Cor. 6:20, Rom. 8:8-9)

God's Creation & Sovereign Rule:

We believe that the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them, are the immediate work of God in creation. We also believe that God sovereignly directs and governs all that He has made in all their actions, so that they fulfill the end for which they were created. (Gen.1:1, Dan. 4:35, Heb.11:3, Matt.10:29, Rev. 4:11)
