I believe that faith must be rooted in the truth of God’s Word, centered on the person and work of Jesus Christ, and lived out through the power of the Holy Spirit. The following statement reflects the core biblical convictions that guide this ministry, its teaching, and its purpose.

The Inspired Scriptures

I believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is God’s revelation to humanity and serves as the infallible rule for faith, conduct, doctrine, and daily living. Scripture is superior to human conscience and reason, yet it is never contrary to true reason. Through the Word of God, we are taught, corrected, strengthened, and equipped to live faithfully before the Lord.
Scripture references: 2 Timothy 3:15–17; 1 Peter 1:23–25; Hebrews 4:12

The One True God

I believe there is one true God who has revealed Himself as the eternal, self-existent “I AM.” He has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, eternally existing in perfect unity and relationship. God alone is worthy of worship, obedience, trust, and surrender.
Scripture references: Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29; Isaiah 43:10–11; Matthew 28:19

The Fall and Redemption of Humanity

I believe humanity was created good and upright in the image and likeness of God. However, through voluntary disobedience, mankind fell into sin. Because of this fall, humanity’s only hope of redemption is found in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus provides the way for sinners to be reconciled to God.
Scripture references: Genesis 1:26–31; Genesis 3:17; Romans 5:12–21

The Salvation of Man

I believe salvation is made available by the grace of God through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation is not earned by human effort, but received through faith in Christ. Through the washing of regeneration and the renewing work of the Holy Spirit, believers are justified by grace and become heirs of God according to the hope of eternal life.
Scripture references: Titus 2:11; Titus 3:5–7; Romans 10:13–15; Luke 24:47

The Evidence of Salvation

I believe the inward evidence of salvation is the witness of the Holy Spirit in the heart of the believer. The outward evidence is a transformed life marked by holiness, obedience, and a growing desire to honor God in all things.
Scripture references: Romans 8:16; 1 Thessalonians 4:7; 2 Timothy 1:9

The Promise of the Father

I believe all believers should earnestly seek the Promise of the Father, which is the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Through this promise, believers are empowered for life, witness, service, and ministry. The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts for the building up of the Church and the advancement of the gospel. This experience is distinct from, yet connected to, the believer’s new birth in Christ.
Scripture references: Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4–8; Acts 2:38; Acts 10:44–46; Acts 11:14–16; Acts 15:7–9; 1 Corinthians 12

Sanctification

I believe sanctification is the will of God for every believer. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are called to pursue holiness and walk in obedience to God’s Word. The Christian life is a continual process of being shaped into the likeness of Christ as we surrender to Him daily.
Scripture references: Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:15–16; 1 Thessalonians 5:23–24; 1 John 2:6

The Church

I believe the Church is the Body of Christ and the dwelling place of God through the Spirit. Every true believer is an integral part of the Church and is called to live in fellowship, unity, service, worship, and mission. The Church exists to glorify God, proclaim the gospel, make disciples, and build up the people of God.
Scripture reference: 1 Thessalonians 2:4

Gathering and Worship

I believe the gathering of believers is essential to the life and health of the Church. Christians are called not to abandon meeting together, but to encourage one another, worship together, receive the teaching of God’s Word, pray, fellowship, and grow in faith. The gathering of the saints is both a privilege and a responsibility.
Scripture references: Matthew 16:18; Hebrews 10:24–25; Acts 2:42; Psalm 122:1; Matthew 18:20; Ephesians 4:11–12

Ministry

I believe divinely called and biblically ordained ministry has been given by the Lord for the purpose of evangelizing the world and edifying the Body of Christ. Ministry exists to proclaim the gospel, equip believers, serve others, and point people to the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
Scripture references: Mark 16:15, 20; Ephesians 4:11–13

Marriage

I believe marriage was created by God as a covenant relationship between one man and one woman. In marriage, a man and woman are joined together as one according to God’s design. Marriage is to reflect faithfulness, love, sacrifice, and covenant commitment before God.
Scripture references: Genesis 2:22, 24; Matthew 19:5–6

The Millennial Reign of Christ

I believe in the visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the salvation of national Israel, and the millennial reign of Christ upon the earth. These promises are rooted in Scripture and point to the ultimate victory, justice, and reign of Jesus as King.
Scripture references: 2 Thessalonians 1:7; Revelation 19:11–16; Romans 11:25; Revelation 20:1–7

The Lake of Fire

I believe Scripture teaches that the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, and all whose names are not found written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will face everlasting punishment in the lake of fire, which is the second death. This truth reminds us of the seriousness of sin, the reality of judgment, and the urgency of the gospel.
Scripture references: Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10–15

The New Heavens and New Earth

I believe, according to the promise of Scripture, that God will create a new heavens and a new earth where righteousness dwells. This is the eternal hope of believers, where God will dwell with His people and make all things new.
Scripture references: 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1

The Creation of Humanity

I believe God created humanity distinctly male and female, in His image and according to His design. This belief is rooted in Scripture and reflects the created order established by God. Every person bears the image of God and should be treated with dignity, truth, compassion, and love.
Scripture references: Genesis 1:27; Genesis 5:2; Matthew 19:4
