Statement of Faith
We believe that:
- The holy Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is the one and only true God.
- The holy Trinity is sovereign in matters related to creation, revelation, salvation, and judgement.
- The entirety of the Old and New Testament represents a revelation from God, is infallible in all matters about faith and life, and represents the supreme authority.
- Since the fall, all mankind is tainted with the original sin, and is to face God's wrath and judgement.
- It is only through the sacrifice of God's Son, our Savior Jesus Christ on the Cross, that human sin may be washed clean and pardoned.
- a sinner may only be justified by faith in Christ, through the grace of God.
- A sinner may only be born again by the Holy Spirit, and be sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
- The Church is the body of Christ, composed of all believers.
- The Church must obey the two sacraments established by the Lord Jesus Christ: baptism by water and the Holy Communion.
- The Lord Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead, and ascended to heaven to be at the right hand of God.
- The Lord Jesus Christ will return to establish His eternal heavenly kingdom.
