This is what we believe.
We believe in God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and Holy Spirit.
God is the one true God.
He created and established the rules for all things. He is eternal, omnipotent, and exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. All three persons are equal and together they are the one true God.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
He is fully human and fully God, equal with the Father and the Holy Spirit. He was conceived by the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, sacrificed Himself on the cross to redeem humanity from sin, and rose bodily on the third day. He ascended into heaven and will come again.
The Holy Spirit indwells believers immediately upon their new birth.
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son, binding believers into the unity of God and serving as a pledge of salvation. He is the Helper, the Comforter who convicts believers of sin, leads to spiritual rebirth, and dwells within believers to empower them to live a righteous and holy life.
The Bible is the Word of God that has come to us.
It was written by humans under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and is the ultimate source of truth regarding Christian life. Because the Bible is inspired by God, it is without error.
Human beings are created in the image of God.
God loves humanity. He created the first humans in His image, free from sin, with intellect, abilities, and the authority to represent God to govern the world. However, the first humans intentionally sinned, causing all humanity to fall under the power of sin and to be corrupted in every way.
Salvation is given by God's grace, but received through our decision.
Human efforts alone to do good cannot save from sin. God loves and values every person, so He provides salvation from sin and eternal damnation through His grace, relying on His goodness. This is received through faith in the redemption of sins by Jesus Christ.
In the end, humans will exist eternally, both believers and non-believers.
When Jesus Christ returns again, there will be a final judgment. Those who do not believe and have not received forgiveness from God will face judgment for their sins and receive punishment in eternal hell. Believers, on the other hand, will live with God in eternal future, worshiping Him in a heaven filled with divine glory.
Baptism symbolizes death, burial, and resurrection in Jesus Christ.
Baptism is a immersion in water, symbolizing death, burial, and resurrection in Jesus Christ. Those who undergo this ceremony must be individuals who have been born again in their hearts.
Beyond these core beliefs, we are open to accepting other beliefs with differing practices. You can find more details in our constitution.
