Doctrinal Statement
- God is a person who has revealed Himself as a Trinity in unity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit – three persons and yet but one GOD.
- The Bible, including both the Old Testament and the New Testament, is a divine revelation, and inspired by the Holy Spirit.
- Jesus Christ is God, who Himself is very God “He took upon Him our nature, being conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the virgin Mary. He died upon the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for sin of the world. He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven in the glorified body. He is now our interceding High Priest. He shall come again personally and visibly to judge the quick and the dead.
- Man was created in the image of God but fell into sin is lost, this is true of all men, and except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ. The retribution of the wicked and unbelieving and reward of the righteous are everlasting.
- The Church is an elect company of believers baptized of the Holy Spirit into one body. Her mission is to witness and preach the gospel to all nations. She will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air when He appears to set His kingdom.
- The illuminating, regenerating, indwelling, sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit enables the believers to live a clean and holy life to effective witness and responsibly serve in the world.
- In the resurrection of all men, they that are saved will rise unto eternal life, and they that are lost will rise unto eternal damnation.
