Doctrine Statement:
We Believe in
- God’s Grace covenant
- Gift of Righteousness
- Repentance

- Gifts of Holy Spirit
Word of God:
We believe in the authority of the Bible as the Word of God. We believe all Scripture is divinely inspired by God and is the unshakable foundation for sound doctrine (2 Tim. 3:16–17).
Trinity:
We believe there is one God, who eternally exists in three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matt. 3:16–17, 2 Cor. 13:14, Eph. 4:4–6).
Lord Jesus Christ Divinity & Humanity:
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His power to heal, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His sacrifice on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Mediator. We believe the Lord Jesus is coming back again just as He promised (John 14:2–3, Matt. 24:30).
Baptism:
We believe in water baptism is an outward expression of our faith that demonstrates a believer’s identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus (Acts 8:12, Rom. 6:4).
Holy Spirit:
We believe the Holy Spirit is our Comforter. He guides us in all areas of our lives (John 14:26 ᴋᴊᴠ). We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of praying in the Spirit (Acts 2:1–4). We believe in the nine gifts of the Spirit and nine attributes of the fruit of the Spirit (1 Cor. 12:7–11, Gal. 5:22–23).
Salvation through Lord Jesus Christ:
We believe the good news that God so loved the world He gave His one and only Son, Jesus, and whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved (John 3:16–17). We believe we are called to bring this good news—the gospel of grace—to all nations (Acts 20:24).
We believe Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). All who call on the name of the Lord Jesus shall be saved (Rom. 10:13). The Bible tells us, “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Rom. 10:9–10).
Holy Communion:
We believe in partaking of the Holy Communion, the Bible tells us “they worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity” (Acts 2:46 ɴʟᴛ), partake with a revelation of His finished work, with our faith centered on our Lord Jesus, always being conscious that as we partake of the bread, we remember His body was broken so that ours might be whole (1 Cor. 11:24, Isa. 53:5). And as we partake of the cup, we remember His blood was shed for the forgiveness and remission of all our sins (Matt. 26:28, Col. 2:13).
Repentance:
We believe in repentance as process of sanctification. The moment we received Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we were forgiven, cleansed, perfected in righteousness, and saved. We were also sanctified in Christ (Heb. 10:10). The more one grows in grace and in their relationship with the Lord—the more one is washed again and again by the water of the word of God’s grace. We believe Jesus is the solution, the answer, and the victory out of any destructive cycle of sin (Rom. 5:17). believe by faith and break free from sin by receiving afresh God’s forgiveness, God’s unmerited favor, and God’s righteousness to overcome sin and weakness by running to Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17 tells us, “Much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.” For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.”
Gift of Righteousness:
We believe Justification before God can only come by faith in Lord Jesus Christ: “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. . . . For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain” (Gal. 2:16, 19–21).
