Our Tenets

We believe that:

  • There is one God eternally existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who are co-existent, co-equal and co-eternal. (Genesis 1: 26; Deut: 6:4; Matt: 3:16-17).
  • The Holy Scripture is the inspired Word of God, and it is inerrant and authoritative (II Timothy 3: 16-17; II Peter 1:20-21).
  • Christ came to us by virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, triumphant resurrection and ascension into Heaven, where He is abidingly interceding for the saints, and will soon return for a millennial reign on earth. (Zech. 14:4; Luke 1:35; Acts 1:9, 11; Rev. 1:7; 20:1-15).
  • Human nature is utterly depraved and desperately in need of repentance and regeneration. In its fallen state, human nature has no hope apart from salvation in Christ Jesus (Psalms 51:5; John 3:3; Romans 3:10-18; Rev. 20:12-15, 21:8).
  • Justification and Sanctification of the believer are gifts of grace and not rewards for good works (Rom. 3:24; Eph. 2:8-9; Heb 10:9-10).
  • There are two sacraments based on the Scripture:
    A: The sacrament of baptism by immersion, and
    B: The sacrament of the Lord's Supper (Matt: 28:19; Romans 6:3-7; I Cor. 10:16-17; 11:23-32).
  • The baptism of the Holy Spirit is for believers subsequent to salvation, with the manifestation of accompanying gifts for the edification, exhortation and comfort of the Church (Acts: 1:4-5; 2:14; 19:1-6; I Cor. 12:4-11).
  • The Church is an elect company of believers in Christ with a mission to reach the lost souls with the gospel (Mark 16:18-19; Matt: 28:19-20; Acts 1:8).
  • Tithing and offering are obligatory in nature for every believer in Christ as fundamental acts of worship, love, and obedience to His Lordship. (Malachi 3:10-12; I Cor. 16:1-2; II Cor. 9:6-7; Heb. 7:5-8).
  • That there will be a bodily resurrection of the righteous for eternal life and the wicked shall receive eternal punishment (Dan. 12: 1-3; Matt. 25:41-46; I Cor. 15: 20-58; I Thess. 4:13-17).
