Our Beliefs

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully divine and fully human, and the second person of the Trinity. He has always existed with the Father and the Holy Spirit, sharing the same divine nature. Through His incarnation, He took on human flesh without ceasing to be God, living a sinless life, revealing the Father to humanity, and accomplishing our salvation through His death and resurrection.

Scripture References: John 1:1-3, 14  |  John 10:30  |  Colossians 15:-20  |  Colossians 2:9  |  Philippians 2:5-11  |  Hebrews 1:1-4  |  Hebrews 4:15  |  1 Corinthians 15:3-4

We believe that the Bible is the verbally inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, serving as the all-sufficient rule for Christian faith and conduct. As God's complete revelation to humanity, Scripture is true in all that it affirms and is the final authority for doctrine, moral living, and spiritual guidance. Through the Holy Spirit, it instructs, corrects, equips, and transforms believers to live faithfully according to God's will.

Scripture References: 2 Timothy 3:16-17  |  2 Peter 1:20-21  |  Psalm 19:7-11  |  Psalm 119:89, 105, 160  |  Matthew 5:17-18  |  John 17:17  |  Hebrews 4:12  |  James 1:22-25

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, fully God and equal with the Father and the Son. He indwells every believer, empowering them to live a holy life, bear witness to Christ, and serve effectively in the work of God's kingdom. We also believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit as a distinct experience following salvation, providing spiritual power for ministry, with the initial physical evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
