Doctrinal Beliefs
As a Bible-based church, our beliefs are rooted in the teachings of the Holy Scriptures. We affirm the following doctrinal beliefs:
The Trinity
We believe in the triune nature of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—three distinct persons, yet one Godhead.
The Divinity of Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human, the Savior of humanity who came to redeem us from sin and restore our relationship with God.
The Holy Scriptures
We affirm the divine inspiration and authority of the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, as the infallible Word of God.
Salvation by Grace through Faith
We believe that salvation is a gift of God's grace and is received through faith in Jesus Christ. It is not earned through any personal effort or merit.
Baptism and Communion
We practice believer's baptism by immersion, symbolizing a believer's identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Additionally, we observe the Lord's Supper as a commemoration of Christ's sacrifice.
Second Coming of Christ
We believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the final judgment, where all will be held accountable.
Principles Guiding Our Actions
As a community-focused faith-based organization, we are guided by the following principles:
Love and Compassion
We strive to emulate Christ's love and compassion in our interactions with others, recognizing the inherent worth and dignity of every individual.
Inclusion and Acceptance
We welcome people from all walks of life, embracing diversity and respecting differences, while fostering an environment of acceptance and understanding.
Social Justice
We actively advocate for social justice, recognizing our responsibility to address systemic inequalities and work towards a more equitable society.
Faith in Action
We believe that faith without works is incomplete; therefore, we strive to put our beliefs into action, actively engaging in acts of service to positively impact our community.
Continuous Growth
We encourage lifelong learning and spiritual growth, providing opportunities for individuals to deepen their understanding of the Bible and cultivate a closer relationship with God.
