We believe there is one God, eternally and indivisibly one, whose name is Jesus.

He has revealed Himself as Father in creation, in the Son through the incarnation and redemption, and as the Holy Spirit in His indwelling presence and power.

Jesus Christ is the one true God manifested in the flesh. In Him dwells all the fullness of God, and His name reveals the fullness of God's saving revelation to humanity. He is the Son of God according to the flesh and the very God Himself according to the Spirit.

Jesus is the Christ, the Creator of all things, God with us, God made flesh, God manifested in the flesh, He which was, which is, and which is to come, the Almighty; the mighty God, everlasting Father, and the Prince of Peace.

(Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 9:6; 44:6; 45:5; Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-14; 10:30; 14:7-10; Colossians 2:9; Colossians 1:16-17; 1 Timothy 3:16; 2 Timothy 3:16; Ephesians 4:4-6; Romans 1:3; Revelation 1:8)

We believe prayer is essential to the life of every believer and foundational to the ministry of the Church. Through prayer, we worship God, seek His will, receive His strength, intercede for others, and partner with Him in the advancement of His Kingdom. Apart from Him we can do nothing; therefore, we are committed to living lives of continual prayer and complete dependence upon God.

We believe God hears and answers prayer according to His perfect wisdom and will. Through the leading of God's Spirit, believers are empowered to pray with faith, perseverance, and compassion, making intercession for individuals, families, communities, and the nations. We are devoted to personal prayer, corporate prayer, and united intercession, believing that God works powerfully through the prayers of His people to transform lives, strengthen the Church, and accomplish His purposes in the earth.

(Matthew 6:9-13; John 15:5; Romans 8:26-28; Ephesians 6:18; Philippians 4:6-7; James 5:16-18; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.

It is God's complete revelation to humanity and our final authority for salvation, doctrine, Christian living, and spiritual truth. Every Scripture is God-breathed and is profitable for teaching, correction, instruction, and equipping believers to live lives that honor Him.

We submit every belief, teaching, and practice to the authority of Scripture.

(II Timothy 3:15-17; Psalm 119:89; Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 24:35; II Peter 1:20-21)

We believe the gospel is the good news of the Kingdom of God revealed in Jesus. Jesus came preaching the gospel of the Kingdom, calling all people to repentance, faith, and discipleship. Through His incarnation, sinless life, sacrificial death, burial, and victorious resurrection, God accomplished the redemption of humanity and established His Kingdom among us. Salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone, who is both Savior and Lord.

We believe the biblical response to the gospel is obedience through faith. Just as Jesus teaches through His death, burial, and resurrection, we obey the gospel by repenting of our sins (death to sin), being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins (burial with Christ), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit with the initial biblical sign of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (resurrection to new life).

This new birth brings us into the Kingdom of God and empowers us to live as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.

(Mark 1:14-15; Matthew 4:23; John 3:3-8; Romans 6:3-5; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 2 Thessalonians 1:8; 1 Peter 4:17; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Acts 22:16)

We believe that all people have sinned and are separated from God, making salvation necessary for every person.

Because of His great love, God came to us in Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, whose sinless life, sacrificial death, burial, and resurrection provided the only atonement for sin.

Salvation is the gift of God's grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Through repentance and the regenerating work of God's Spirit, we are made new and reconciled to God.

(Romans 3:23-25; Romans 6:23; John 1:29; John 3:3-8, 16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Colossians 2:13-14; Titus 3:5)

We believe Jesus taught that every person must be born of water and of the Spirit to enter the Kingdom of God. Water baptism and Spirit baptism are essential elements of the new birth and God's redemptive plan for every believer.

We believe water baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ is the biblical response of faith and a public declaration of the inward transformation that takes place through the new birth. In baptism, believers identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, receiving the promise of the forgiveness of sins and beginning a new life in Him.

We believe the baptism of the Holy Ghost is God's gift to every believer, bringing power for victorious Christian living, bold witness, and effective ministry. As demonstrated throughout the book of Acts, the initial biblical evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit is speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. While Spirit baptism is a definite experience, believers are called to continually walk in, be renewed by, and be filled with God's Spirit throughout their lives, growing in holiness, spiritual maturity, and fruitful service.

(John 3:3-8; Matthew 28:19; Acts 1:5, 8; Acts 2:4, 38-39; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-6; Romans 6:3-4; Ephesians 5:18; Titus 3:5)

We believe the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, given to dwell within every believer through the new birth. The Spirit transforms us into the likeness of Christ, produces spiritual fruit, and empowers us to live holy lives and boldly proclaim the gospel.

We believe the gifts of the Spirit remain active today and are distributed by God for the edification of the Church, the strengthening of believers, and the advancement of Christ's kingdom.

Every believer is called to serve through the enabling and empowering work of God's Spirit.

(John 3:3-8; John 14:16-18; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38-39; Romans 8:9-11; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Galatians 5:22-25; Ephesians 4:11-13)

We believe Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and that God continues to demonstrate His power through signs, wonders, and miracles. Through Christ's redemptive work, He provides healing for the whole person: body, soul, and spirit.

We believe God still heals the sick, delivers the oppressed, answers prayer, and works miracles according to His perfect wisdom and will. Therefore, we faithfully pray for the sick, believing that the miracle-working power of God's Spirit is still at work today, bringing glory to Jesus Christ and confirming the gospel.

(Isaiah 53:5; Mark 16:17-20; Luke 5:12-13; James 5:13-16; 1 Peter 2:24; Hebrews 13:8)

We believe every follower of Jesus Christ is called to a life of love, holiness, and faithful discipleship. As we grow in our relationship with God, we are transformed by His Spirit to reflect the character of Christ in every area of life. We seek to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

We believe Christian living is demonstrated through joyful worship, faithful prayer, obedience to God's Word, moral purity, compassionate service, generous giving, and a continual pursuit of holiness in both our inward character and outward conduct. By the power of God's Spirit, believers are equipped to bear spiritual fruit, exercise their God-given gifts, and faithfully represent Jesus Christ in their homes, workplaces, communities, and throughout the world.

(Mark 12:28-31; Romans 12:1-2; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Galatians 5:22-25; Colossians 3:12-17; Hebrews 12:14; James 1:22; 1 Peter 1:15-16)

We believe marriage is a sacred covenant established by God, joining one man and one woman in a lifelong union that reflects His design for love, faithfulness, and the family. We encourage believers to pursue marriage with a fellow follower of Jesus Christ, seeking a relationship founded upon shared faith and obedience to God's Word.

We believe God created sexual intimacy as a holy gift to be enjoyed only within the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman. Therefore, we affirm that all sexual activity outside of biblical marriage, including adultery, fornication, pornography, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, and every form of sexual immorality, is contrary to God's design and His Word.

We recognize that sin has deeply affected marriages, families, and every area of human life. While God hates divorce because of the pain and brokenness it causes, He loves every person and offers forgiveness, healing, and restoration to all who come to Him in repentance and faith. We believe God's grace is sufficient to redeem every life, and those who have experienced divorce or remarriage are not second-class citizens in the Kingdom of God but are fully welcomed into the family of God through His mercy and transforming grace.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are committed to upholding the truth of God's Word while extending the same love, compassion, humility, and grace that God has shown to us. We believe every person is created in the image of God and should be treated with dignity, respect, and genuine love, while being invited to experience the transforming power of the gospel.

(Genesis 1:27-28; Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:3-9; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; 1 Corinthians 7:27-28; 2 Corinthians 6:14-15; Romans 1:24-27; Ephesians 5:22-33; Hebrews 13:4)

We believe that every good and perfect gift comes from God, and that everything we possess ultimately belongs to Him. As faithful stewards of His blessings, we joyfully dedicate our time, talents, and treasures for the glory of God and the advancement of His Kingdom.

We believe generosity is an act of worship and an expression of gratitude for God's abundant grace and faithful provision. The biblical principle of the firstfruits tithe serves as a helpful guide for faithful giving, while offerings reflect a heart of joyful sacrifice and thanksgiving. We give not reluctantly or under compulsion, but willingly, generously, and as we are led by God's Spirit.

Beyond financial generosity, we believe every believer is called to invest their lives in serving others through acts of compassion, hospitality, discipleship, prayer, and the faithful use of the gifts God has entrusted to them. By giving sacrificially of our time, talents, and resources, we participate in God's work of building His Church, caring for those in need, and proclaiming the gospel to the world.

(Matthew 6:19-21; Luke 11:42; Acts 20:35; 2 Corinthians 8:1-5; 2 Corinthians 9:6-8; James 1:17; 1 Peter 4:10-11)

We believe that Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return in power and glory to receive His Church and establish the fullness of His everlasting Kingdom. This blessed hope inspires us to live with joyful expectation, faithful obedience, and unwavering devotion to Christ.

We believe there will be a final resurrection of all people and a final judgment before God. Those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ and remained faithful to Him will inherit everlasting life in His eternal Kingdom, while those who reject Him will face eternal judgment. God's justice is perfect, His mercy is great, and His Kingdom will have no end.

As we await the return of our Lord, we are committed to loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, living lives of holiness and consecration, faithfully proclaiming the gospel, making disciples, and reaching a lost and dying world. Until He comes, we seek to be found faithful, watching, praying, serving, and eagerly anticipating the appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

(Matthew 24:42-44; Matthew 28:18-20; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 9:28; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 22:12-13, 20)

We see direct and practical application of Jesus’ teachings in the lives and acts of the apostles. To put it simply, to be apostolic means to walk in the ways and teaching of Jesus the way the Apostles did. In other words, to be apostolic is to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.

They were apostolic in doctrine and preached one message with the Old Testament as the foundation and the New Testament its fulfilment. The Old Testament tells of the coming of the Messiah and the more perfect covenant between God and man. In the New Testament, we see Jesus as God in flesh, the way the Truth and the light, establishing a new covenant with Man with the indwelling of His Spirit and the remission of sins.

“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38 (KJV)

The message was consistent and its power pure and transforming. The results? Hundred, thousands and multitudes added into the Kingdom daily.

They were apostolic in identity. Untainted by the world. “And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.” Acts 2:40 (KJV) “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;” 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV) Though they lived in the world, they identified not with it. They identified themselves with the culture of Christ, holy, set apart for His glory.

They were apostolic in commitment. Everything belonged to the Lord. They went where the Lord told them to even when it meant their enemies and greatest persecutor. They gave sacrificially when they were instructed to. They used their talents for His glory. They lived in total abandonment to their Lord and Master.

They were apostolic in devotion.  “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” Acts 2:42 (KJV)

Despite persecution, they neglected not their meeting together. Their worship was extravagant and with utter obedience. The word was their foundation and the final authority. All things were wrought by prayer and conquered with the power of the word and spirit.

They were apostolic in their mission. Their mission was the world. They were not satisfied with their home, town or city. They burned with a vision and desire to see the whole world evangelized.

They were apostolic in reaching the lost. Every day, they sought out the hungry and the thirsty. The Lord working with them, they expounded the word to some and to others, prayed and ministered to their needs. Everybody was a minister. There were not an elite few. The responsibility of reaching the lost belonged to every believer.

They were apostolic in demonstrating the power and the love of God. Signs, miracles and wonders confirmed the word. They preached with authority and demonstration of the spirit.  Their life was lived with a passionate love for God and people. They allowed the Holy Ghost to live through them, exhibiting fruit for the world to see and taste the goodness of God.

Together, the believers in the 1st Century were united and in harmonious fellowship with each other provided that their doctrine was consistent and pure. As a church, they had a structure that empowered every believer to offer their God-given gifts and talents in service to His body. In small gatherings, they were cared for by fellow believers who were governed by the five-fold ministry led by Jesus Christ. Through the five-fold ministry, saints were equipped to do the work of the ministry. The church consisted of people belonging to different races and background brought together by one quest – to seek His kingdom and be a holy nation! Despite difficult circumstances, they knew they were not alone. The had the backing of Almighty God and that was all that mattered. Their attitude? If God is for us, who can be against us? Heaven is their home and earth their passing through.

The mission and the purpose of the church has not changed. God is looking for earth partners. Until His coming and till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ, we continue the Acts of the Apostles with passion, purity and fervency.
