 OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH

OUR BELIEVE

1. THE HOLY BIBLE - We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as
verbally inspired of God, infalliable and inerrant in the original writings,
and that they are the supreme and final authority in faith and
life. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21; Acts 17:11; and Isaiah
8:20)

2. THE HOLY TRINITY - We believe that there is only one God, eternally existing in three persons: FATHER,
SON and HOLY SPIRIT. The three are CO - EXISTENT, CO - ETERNAL and CO - EQUAL"...both in power, glory and majesty. 

(A) GOD THE FATHER - We believe in God the Father, Creator of heaven
and earth, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom and measureless
in power. We rejoice that He concerns Himself mercifully in the
affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves
from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
(Matthew 5:48; Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 11:3; Nehemiah 9:6; Hebrews
1:2-3; Psalm 103:19; Ephesians 1:11; 1 Kings 8:27; and Psalm 90:2)

(B) THE SON - We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son,
conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, sinless in
His life, and making atonement for the sin of the world by His shed
blood and death on the cross. We believe in His bodily
resurrection, His ascension into heaven, and His high priestly
intercession for His people. We believe in His personal, visible
and triumphant return to the world according to His promise.
(Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:18-25; John 1:14; Hebrews 10:9; John 1:29; 1
John 2:1-2; John 14:3; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; and Acts 1:11)

(C) THE HOLY SPIRIT - We believe in the Holy Spirit, who came forth
from God to convict the world of sin, to convince the world of
righteousness, and of judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and
comfort those who believe in Jesus Christ. (John 15:26; John
16:8-11; Romans 6:3-6; 1 Corinthians 12:13; 2 Thessalonians 2:13;
and 1 Peter 1:1-3)

3. MAN - We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he
sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also
spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all human
beings are sinners by nature and by choice. (Genesis 1:27; Genesis
2:15-17; and Romans 3:10-12, 23)

4. SALVATION - We believe that, God so loved the world that He gave
his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not
perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16 NIV) We believe that all
who receive, by faith, Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord are born
again of the Holy Spirit and, therefore, become children of God. We
believe that justification means that a person is declared
righteous in the sight of God by grace alone, through faith alone,
in Christ alone. (John 1:12; Romans 3:21-26; Ephesians 1:13; 2:8-10)

5. STATUS IN ETERNITY - We believe in the bodily resurrection of the
just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and
the everlasting, conscious punishment of the lost. (Matthew 25:46)

6. HUMAN RESPONSIBILITY - We believe that every human being has
responsibility to God alone in all matters of faith. (Romans
14:11-12)

7. THE CHURCH - We believe in the Church -- a living, spiritual body
in which Christ is the Head and of which all regenerated people are
members. We believe that a visible church is a company of believers
in Jesus Christ, buried with Him in baptism and associated for the
purpose of leading believers toward maturity through worship,
instruction, fellowship and evangelism. We believe that Christ has
committed to the local church, the ordinances of Baptism and
Communion to be observed until He comes, and that Christ has
committed to the church the responsibility to proclaim to a lost
world their need to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and to recognize
Him has Lord. We believe that human betterment and social
improvement are essential products of the Gospel. (Ephesians
1:22-23; Romans 6:3-5; Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26;
and John 8:31-32)

8. ATTITUDE TOWARD CIVIL GOVERNMENT - We believe that each church is
independent and autonomous, and must be free from interference by
any ecclesiastical or political authority; therefore, Church and
State must be kept separate, as having different functions, each
fulfilling its duties free from the dictation or patronage of the
other. We also believe that it is the responsibility of the church
(individually and corporately) to live in submission to the
government, as long as that does not violate Scripture or
conscience and to pray for those who are in authority over us. (1
Timothy 2:1-3; Titus 3:1; 1 Peter 2:13-14; Acts 5:29; Matthew
23:10; Romans 13:1-7)

9. BAPTISM AND THE LORD'S SUPPER - We believe in only one baptism, the immershed in water baptism in the name of god the father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We hold the view that it is an act of faith to the obedience of the gospel of Christ symbolizing the crucified, buried and rising saviour, the believer's death to sin, burial of the old nature of life in faith in Christ jesus. The Lord's supper is a symbolic whereby the members of the church , through partaking of the bread and wine  memorize the death of the blessed Redeemer, The Lord jesus and expect His second coming
