The fundamental teachings of our ministry are reflected in the following unambiguous statements of faith:
1. We believe that there is one true universal Church made up of genuine believers, but this one universal Church is composed of many local Churches in given localities. All local Churches are under the headship of Christ exercising autonomous government under him, administering all its local affairs and ministry, as well as the propagation of the gospel. (Acts 5:22), Matt. 16:18-19; Matt. 18:15-20).
2. We believe in the Bible as the infallible and inerrant word of God written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is the final authority for all matters of faith and conduct (II Timothy 3:16-17, 1 Corinthians 2:13).
3. We believe in the eternal Godhead who has revealed himself as on God existing in three persons. Father, Son and Holy Spirit distinguishable but indivisible (Matthew 28: 19, II Corinthians 13:14).
4. We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins (Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrew 9:12, Romans 5:11).
5. We believe in the necessity if water Baptism by immersion (Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:34-36, we believe also in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as a real experience of salvation with scriptural evidence such as speaking in tongues. (Acts 1: 1-4; Gal. 3:14-15).
6. We believe in the operations of the gifts of Holy Spirit as enumerated in 1 Corinthians 12:1-11.
7. We believe in a spirit-filled life, a life of separation from the world and perfecting of Holiness in the fear of God as expressing the true Christian faith. Ephesians 5:18; II Corinthians 6:14, II Corinthians 7:1.
8. We believe in the celebration of the Lord’s Table commonly called Communion or the Lord’s Supper for believers (I Corinthians 11:23-32; Matthew 26:26-28).
9. We believe in the eternal life for believers (John 5:24; John 3:16) and eternal condemnation and punishment for the unbelievers (Mark 9:43; II Thessalonians 1:9, Revelation 20:10-15).
We believe in the exercise of the believer’s authority as given by Christ to the Church and using the keys of the kingdom of Heaven (Mark 16:15-17, Matthew 16:18-19; Acts 4:30; James 5:14-15).
10. We believe in promoting family values and preservation of the sanctity of marriage and love amongst family members.
