Our Beliefs
We believe in the Bible as God’s only inspired, inerrant and authoritative
revelation of Himself to man in written form (2 Timothy 3:16,17).
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: God the Father,
God the Son and God the Holy Spirit (1 John 5:7).
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
(John 1:1), His virgin birth (Matt 1:18), His sinless life (2 Corinthians 5:21),
His miracles (Acts 10:38), His vicarious death as the only sacrifice for the
sin of the world (1 John 2:2), His bodily resurrection from the dead (Luke
24:39), His ascension to the right hand of God as our intercessor
(Hebrews 4:14), and His future return in glory, first to rapture His church
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) and second, to establish the kingdom of God
upon the earth (Revelation 20:6).
We believe in the finality of Christ’s mediatorial work for the redemption
of humanity and the present freedom of access to the Father (1 Timothy 2:
5; Hebrews 7:25).
We believe in the new birth as the only means of receiving eternal life.
The new birth involves a cleansing and deliverance from the penalty and
power of sin. It is effectuated through faith in Jesus Christ and
repentance from sin (John 3:3,5,7; Ephesians 2:8,9; 1 Peter 1:18-20).
We believe in divine healing for the total man, spirit, mind and body and
that this healing is accomplished in the redemptive work of Christ on the
cross and appropriated in the believer’s life through prayer (Isaiah 53:5;
Matthew 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24; James 5:13-15).
We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit as an enduement of power for
all believers (Acts 2:4,38-39; 10:44-46; 19:1-6; Ephesians 5:18). This
baptism results in a deeper expression of spiritual fruit (Galatians 5:
22,23), a greater growth in Christ-likeness (2 Corinthians 3:18), a genuine
manifestation of spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:1-11), and a more
effective prayer life (Romans 8:26, 27).
We believe in the process of spiritual development (sanctification)
wrought in the believer’s life by the Holy Spirit. The growth involves daily
dying to sin and living unto righteousness (Romans 6:1-23), finds
expression in a holy life (Hebrews 12:24) and will be culminated at the
return of Christ (1 John 3:2).
We believe in the resurrection from the dead. First, the righteous unto
eternal life and second, the ungodly unto eternal damnation (Daniel 12:2;
John 5:28,29; Revelation 20:4-6, 11-15).
We believe in the sacraments of the church established by Jesus Christ
our Lord; the Lord’s Supper (Matthew 26:26-30; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
and baptism by immersion as a symbol and witness of the new birth
(Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 3:20-22).
These “Basic Beliefs" are simply a summary of fundamental Christian
beliefs for teaching purposes and is not intended to be an official
ecclesiastical statement as found in the Church of God statement of faith
to which we hold as an official statement.

Our Vision and Values
We are a Spirit-filled, evangelical congregation giving the world hope in
Christ through biblical teaching, Christ-centered worship and people-
oriented ministry. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace,
as you trust in him, and may you overflow with hope by the power of
the Holy Spirit” (Rom 15:13).
The mission of the church is to: “Go into all the world and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I
have commanded you. And surely I will be with you always, to the very
end of the age” (Matthew 28:18-20). Our ministry vision is guided by
five biblical core values based on the ministry of Jesus:
Evangelism: To lead persons into a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ: “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost”
(Luke 19:10).
Edification: To help persons grow in their relationship with Christ.
Then He said to them all: “If anyone would come after me, he must
deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23).
Equipping: To train believers in biblical leadership as they minister
in the church and in the marketplace. “These twelve Jesus sent out
with the following instructions: ‘Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse
those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received,
freely give’” (Matt 10:8).
Encouragement: To provide an environment where the power of
God brings wholeness to the total person – spirit, mind and body. “The
Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach
good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the
prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor” (Luke 4:18, 19).
Excellence: To bring glory to God by developing and maintaining the
highest standards of ministry in all we do. Jesus prayed, “I have
brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do”
(John 17:4).
