Our doctrine.
Bible
The Bible is our ultimate authority on all matters of faith and life. The scriptures in the Bible is God’s word to us - written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Since it is inspired by God, it is the Truth without error.
Proverbs 30:5, John 17:8, Galatians 1:11-12, 2 Timothy 1:13 & 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21
Missions
Missions is taking a task to go and tell a certain group in a certain area about Jesus Christ.
Mark 16:15
Eternity
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved. People were created to exist forever in one of two conditions. The unsaved will exist eternally separated from God, experiencing continuous punishment in Hell. The saved will exist eternally with God in Heaven, enjoying everlasting blessedness. Scriptures teach that Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
John 3:16, John 5:24, 28-29, Romans 6:23, Revelation 20:15
Jesus
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life to reach God. he is the only mediator between God and man. Jesus allows us to have salvation through His death on the Cross for our sins.
John 14:6, 1 Timothy 2:5, John 3:16
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is given by God as our helper. It lives inside of you when you are saved. It was given to us when we died and followed Jesus.
John 14:26, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Acts 2:38
Virgin Birth
Mary became pregnant by the Holy Spirit and was kept a virgin until Jesus was born.
Matthew 1:18-25
Disciple
We believe a disciple first becomes a student and follower of Jesus, then helps others follow him and teaches them to become disciples.
Matthew 28:18-19, John 8:31-32, John 13:34-35, Acts 14:21-22
Salvation
Salvation means to be forgiven for your sins by believing that Jesus is our Savior who God sent, died, rose again three days later, and will be coming back a second time. It includes repenting from your wicked ways and living according to the Bible.
Acts 4:12, 2 Corinthians 7:10, Romans 10:13, John 3:16-17, John 14:6, Acts 3:19, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:1-9
The Lord’s Supper
The Lord’s Supper, also known as communion, is the practice of remembering and recounting Christ’s death until He comes again. We practice this every week as a church family through the partaking of bread and cup, representing Christ’s body and blood. This act of remembrance is vital for us as believers, as it represents an actual communion with the risen Christ who indwells every believer by virtue of His death in our place. Communion, however, is even more significant and beautiful than simply understanding these facts. It is a commemoration that reaches backward, inward, and forward.
Matthew 26:26-28, Mark 14:22-24, Luke 22:15-20, 1 Corinthians 11:23-29
God
God is our Judge who is just and righteous. He is the beginning and the end of all things, the giver of the Holy Spirit. Without faith, He cannot be pleased by man’s works or deeds.
Psalm 7:11, Revelation 1:8, 1 Thessalonians 4:8, John 4:24, Hebrews 11:6
The Trinity
Tri means three and unity means one, it is the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in one Godhead. They all share the same nature and end goal, to glorify God.
1 John 5:5-9, 2 Corinthians 7:14, Matthew 28:18-19
Second Coming
Jesus will return to Earth the same way He left, bringing all believers back together. Then He will judge His enemies and reward the believers.
Acts 1:11, Luke 12:40, Matthew 24:30, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, John 14:3
Evangelism
We believe evangelism is telling others about Jesus Christ.
Acts 8:4, Romans 1:16, Psalms 96:3
Baptism
We believe Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer’s faith in a crucified, buried, and risen savior, mirrored in the believer’s death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection of walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus.
Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 1:5, Acts 2:38-39, Romans 6:3-5
The Church
The Church is the profound expression of God’s plan for humanity, uniting all who place their faith in Jesus Christ into one spiritual body through the works of the Holy Spirit. It serves as God’s family on Earth, with Christ as its head. Rooted in the promises to Isreal, the Church includes all believers - past, present, and future - both universally and locally. The universal Church spans time and place, embodying Christ’s New Covenant and Kingdom, while local churches gather regularly in His name to proclaim the Gospel and grow together in faith.
Local churches, established and guided by New Testament teachings operated under Christ’s supreme authority. Biblically designated leaders (elders and deacons) serve as shepherds and guides under the sovereignty of Christ. The congregation submits to their leadership, affirming the autonomy and self-government of each local assembly.
As the body and bride of Christ, the Church glorifies God by building itself upon faith, practicing ordinances, nurturing fellowship, and advancing the gospel globally. The Holy Spirit received on Pentecost empowers the Church to fulfill its mission, equipping believers with spiritual gifts for service and unity.
In essence, the Church stands as God’s testament to His redemptive purpose, uniting believers across time and place to glorify Christ until His return.

Man
Mankind (male and female) was created in God’s image to rule over the Earth, multiply, and glorify God.
Man willfully sinned against God which condemned mankind. However, God’s salvation plan is to restore mankind through Jesus.
