Statement of Beliefs

---

We recognize that the foundation of all our beliefs lies in the Scriptures, which hold ultimate authority. When it comes to shaping our doctrine, practices, policies, and disciplinary actions, our Board of Directors assumes the final interpretive role. Their responsibility is to ensure that everything we do aligns with the meaning and application of the Bible in every aspect of our organization.

We affirm the absolute perfection of the Bible, viewing it as the inspired revelation of God. In its original manuscripts, it remains free from error, meticulously crafted under the divine guidance of the Holy Spirit. This sacred text serves as the ultimate authority, providing comprehensive guidance in matters of faith and conduct for believers.

(2 Peter 1:20-21; 22 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13)

We believe in the Trinity: one God in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—equal in divine perfection yet distinct in roles. They collaborate in creation, providence, and redemption. In creation, the Father plans, the Son executes, and the Spirit sustains. In providence, they govern harmoniously. In redemption, the Father sends the Son for salvation, and the Spirit produces a new spirit and new life in the believer. Despite their distinct roles, they work in perfect unity to accomplish God's perfect will.

​​

(Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10-11; Matthew 28:18-19; Luke 3:22; Mark 12:29; John 1:14; Acts 5:3, 4; II Corinthians 13:14; Revelation 1:4-6; Jeremiah 10:10; Exodus 3:14; Psalms 90:2; Matthew 28:19, 20; Job 11:7; Psalms 19:1, 2; 145:10; 150:6; Exodus 34:14)

We hold faith in God the Father, an infinite and personal spirit, characterized by absolute holiness, wisdom, power, and love. Our belief extends to His merciful involvement in the lives of all individuals, attentively listening to and responding to prayers. Through Jesus Christ, He extends salvation from sin and death to all who seek Him. God spoke into existence the world and all things that it contains, for His own pleasure, and the enjoyment of His creatures. God created man in His image according to Genesis 1:26 as a triune being consisting of spirit, soul (which is made of the mind, will, and emotions), and a body.

​

(Revelation 4:11; 1 Timothy 6:17)

We affirm our belief in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We acknowledge His virgin birth, sinless life, miraculous deeds, and profound teachings. Our faith rests in His substitutionary atonement on the cross, bodily resurrection, and ascension into heaven. We believe He continually intercedes for the believer and anticipate His imminent and visible return to earth.

​

(Matthew 1: 23; Luke 1:31, 35; Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 2:22; John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 

2 Corinthians 5:21; Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; 1 Corinthians 15:4; Acts 1:9, 11; 2:33; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1-3; John 1:14; Luke 1:26-35; Acts 4:12; Acts 16:31; 

John 1:12-14; 1 Timothy 3:16; Acts 7:37-38; Philippians 2:9-10; Hebrews 7:25)

We affirm our belief in the Holy Spirit, proceeding from the Father and the Son. His role includes convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, as well as regenerating, sanctifying, and empowering all who embrace Jesus Christ. We acknowledge the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit in every believer, serving as a constant helper, teacher, and guide.

​

(John 16:13; I Corinthians 2:11; Genesis 1:2; Acts 10:19; 13:2; 16:6; 13:4; John 16:8; Mark 3:29; Acts 7:51; Ephesians 4:30; 1 Corinthians 12; Job 33:4;

2 Peter 1:21; 1 Peter 3:18; 1 Corinthians 6:11; 1 Thessalonians 5:19; Ephesians 4:30; Galatians 5:16-6:1, 1 John 1)

Our first parents, Adam and Eve, initially upright, naturally inclined to obey their Creator until influenced by Satan to transgress. Their disobedience changed human nature, leading to a state where humanity is inclined towards evil, lacking the righteousness and purity of Adam. Consequently, no one can become children of God through their own goodness or works. Original sin subjects all mankind to physical death, while the soul continues in an eternal state of communion with God (Heaven) or complete separation from Him (Hell), based on acceptance or rejection of the Savior (Salvation).

​

(Genesis 1:26-31; 3: 1-7; Ecclesiastes 7:29; Psalms 51:5; John 6: 44; Romans 5:12-21; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Romans 5:12; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Philippians 1:23)

Salvation is humanity's sole hope for redemption from mankind’s sinful nature, is achieved through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, who is God's only Son. It involves being justified by grace through faith, washed by regeneration, and renewed by the Holy Spirit. This transformative process leads to righteousness and true holiness, witnessed inwardly by the Spirit and outwardly by a righteous life. Salvation encompasses justification, redemption, sanctification, and glorification. The Hebrew and Greek terms for salvation imply deliverance, safety, healing, and soundness. It's entirely a gift of grace, not earned through human effort.

​

(Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romans 10:13-l5; Ephesians 2:8; Titus 2:11; 3:5-7; Romans 8:16; Ephesians 4:24; Titus 2:12; Romans 3:27-28, 4:1-8, 6:23, Ephesians 2:8)

We hold firm to the belief in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth, where He will establish His kingdom. Additionally, we affirm the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, the eternal happiness of the righteous, and the perpetual suffering of the wicked. We believe that the end of this age is rapidly approaching.  We believe in “That Blessed Hope” – the personal, imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost without Christ.

​

(1 Peter 4:7; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Acts 24:15; Matthew 24:31-46; Revelation 22:11)

God gave mankind volition, the right and ability to make choices, good and bad. We believe it's the responsibility of every Christian to live for God's glory and the welfare of humanity, maintaining exemplary conduct before the world. As faithful stewards of God's gifts, we aim for spiritual maturity in Christ for ourselves and others. The Bible guides us to honor our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit, avoiding all forms of domination or subjugation. Christian service involves using spiritual gifts in love and for God's honor. Education, evangelism, fasting, and communion with God are integral to our Christian journey. Giving is voluntary, fueled by love for God and His work. Godly love, marked by sacrifice, pleases God. Our faith compels us to care for the needy and foster spiritual growth through the Holy Spirit, fellowship, and learning.

We affirm that marriage is exclusively defined as the union of one man and one woman, as delineated in Scripture. We firmly uphold the belief that God, in His unchanging and majestic design, creates each person distinctly as male or female. These two complementary genders collectively reflect the image and essence of God. Denying one's biological sex is to reject the inherent image of God within oneself. Additionally, we maintain that God intends sexual intimacy solely within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that God expressly prohibits any form of sexual activity outside of this sacred union. Thus, we affirm that any expression of sexual immorality—including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, pornography, and similar behaviors—is contrary to God's will and considered sinful. Furthermore, we firmly assert that the family serves as the fundamental and essential institution for society. It provides security, heritage, and the cultivation of moral values, which are indispensable for the well-being and continuity of any society.
