WE BELIEVE IN THE GREAT DOCTRINES OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
AND OF THE BIBLICAL CHRISTIAN FAITH.

I. BIBLE
We believe that the Holy Scriptures (66) books, consisting of the Old (39 books) and New Testament (27 books), are verbally inspired and without error in their original writings.

We believe that the writers of the Bible wrote them under the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

We believe that the Bible is the revealed and inerrant word of God and are therefore our final authority in matters of faith and conduct.

II. GOD
We believe in one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We believe not only the complete oneness of God, but also the equally complete distinctiveness of the three persons who make up the Godhead.
Genesis 1:26
Deuteronomy 6:4
John 10:30
Matthew 3:13-17
Matthew 28:19
2 Corinthians 13:14

We believe in God�s natural attributes; that He is eternal, unchanging, omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient.

We believe in God's moral qualities; that He is holy, righteous, merciful, faithful, and loving.
Deuteronomy 4:31
Psalm 145:17
James 1:17
Psalm 139:7-9
John 16:27
1 Peter 1:16
Jeremiah 32:27
1 Corinthians 1:9
1 Timothy 1:17

We believe that God created the heavens and the earth and everything in it; that He created a host of spiritual and sinless beings called angels. Some of them fell into sin and under the leadership of Satan who now oppose God and His children; the rest retained their sinless status and are ministering as servants of God.
Genesis 1:1- 2:22
Isaiah 14:12-17
2 Peter 2:4
Ezekiel 28:11-19
Luke 15:10
Jude 6
2 Corinthians 4:3-4; 11:13-15
Ephesians 6:10-12

III.JESUS CHRIST
We believe that Jesus Christ who is God from eternity, was sent by the Father, begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary and thus, is completely God and completely man.

We also believe that Jesus died on the cross for the sins of mankind and that He rose bodily from the grave, to provide the only means by which sinful men can be reconciled with God.

We further believe in Christ�s present work for believers as High Priest and Advocate in Heaven and in the blessed hope of His second coming (personal and bodily return) to receive believers unto Himself and establish His millennial kingdom on earth.
Matthew 1:23-25
John 1:1, 14
Acts 4:12
Luke 1:30-35
John 20:28
2 Corinthians 5:14-15
Titus 1:11-14

IV. HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit is God who indwells all true believers and accomplish regeneration in the life of those believing in Christ.

We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts men of sin, sanctifies (positional) the believers, and empowers them to overcome the present power of sin, and to witness for Christ.

We further believe that the Holy Spirit leads a sinner to repentance and acceptance of Christ as personal Lord and Savior to the praise of the Father.
John 16:4, v.8-16; 17-19
1 Corinthians 3:16
2 Thessalonians 2:13
Acts 1:8

V. MAN
We believe that God created Adam as a sinless being, but because of the latter?s transgression, he fell from his original innocence. Consequently, the descendants of Adam are born in sin and are subject to death and judgment, apart from God?s grace.

We believe that all mankind sinned and fall short of the glory of God; hence, condemned to an eternal existence separate from God.
Genesis 1:26-27; 2:17; 3:6; 6:6
John 3:3-6
Romans 3:23, 8:6-7
Ephesians 2:1-3

VI. SALVATION
We believe that men can be saved from sin and come into possession of eternal life by realizing their need for repentance and by believing in Jesus Christ as personal Savior and sin-bearer. Salvation is by grace alone through Christ alone and is entirely a free gift of God. Man�s only hope of salvation is through personal faith in Christ and cannot possibly be achieved by good works.

We believe that God�s act of redemption in human history is vicarious and complete. Consequently, salvation is God�s work alone from beginning to end.
John 3:16-18
John 1:12
Acts 15:11
Ephesians 1:7
Ephesians 2:8-9 Acts 16:31
Romans 1:16-17
Romans 5:1-2

VII. THE CHURCH
We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers and that all true believers are members of the church (universal and invisible), which is Christ�s body and of which He is the head.

We also believe in the local church which is the visible fellowship of redeemed men who meet for regular worship, mutual edification, and for the celebration of the Lord�s Supper and Water Baptism.

We further believe that the universal invisible church is the institution commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ for mission (to preach the gospel of Christ and make disciples of all nations) and that all Christians are called and commissioned by the Lord to live to the glory of God and to win others to Christ.
Matthew 28:18
Romans 12:3-8
Acts 1:8
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
1 Corinthians 12:13-27
Acts 2:42-47
Ephesians 1:22-23
Ephesians 2:13-22

VIII. CULTURAL REDEMPTION AND CONTEXTUALIZATION
We believe in the biblical concept of culture: That all true culture has God as its Prime Author and Sovereign Lord.

We also believe that all culture, like everything else in the contemporary world, has been tainted with human sinfulness. Hence, all art, all music, all poetry, all science, all philosophy, and even all theology displays the disfiguring marks of sin to a greater or lesser extent.

We further believe that all creation (rational or irrational, animate or inanimate) groan and eagerly await redemption. It therefore becomes the Christians calling and responsibility to redeem for God humankind (through evangelism and witnessing) and his culture (through research, filtration and consecration).
