Statement of Faith
1. About God – God is the creator and ruler of the universe, eternally exist in three
personalities: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are equal and are one God.

2. About Jesus Christ – Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

3. About the Holy Spirit – The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christians from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives all believers a spiritual gift when they are saved. As Christians we seek to live under his control daily.

4. About the Bible-The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.
5. About Salvation– Salvation is God’s free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sins by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus, in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

6. About Eternal Security – Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ ,the true believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot lose it. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-efforts of Christians. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security.

Why we exist as a church
Our Mission
Our mission is the Great Commission recorded in Matthew 28:19-20.
Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I have commanded you and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen
Our Vision
Our vision is to complete the mission by being committed to the Great commandment in
Matthew 22:37-40
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Our Purpose
Our Purpose is to love God through worship, which is our lifestyle. To love our neighbor through ministry and make disciples through evangelism. To incorporate them into fellowship by baptism, and to help them grow through discipleship.
