A place where
God's Word
becomes life

We hold the foundational tenets of Christianity: we affirm the Nicene Creed, believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ, His incarnation, death, resurrection, and ascension to the Father in heaven, as well as His second coming to earth.

"…knowing that you were redeemed…not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect, chosen before the creation of the world, but revealed in these last times for your sake" (1 Peter 1:18–20).

We believe that the Bible (the canonical Old and New Testaments) is the authoritative and infallible Word of God, revealing His will to humanity and serving as the sole foundation of faith and conduct. We hold that God opens the understanding of the Scriptures to every true believer, giving them the right not only to read but also to interpret and preach the Word of God to others.

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:16–17).

We believe in the one true and holy God, revealed in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Godhead, co-equal with the Father and the Son, who reveals the truth about God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ, empowers the Church with spiritual gifts, brings about sanctification and spiritual fruit, and guides the whole Church and each of its members.

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19). "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth… He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you" (John 16:13–14).

We believe in the necessity of receiving salvation accomplished by the Lord, received by grace through faith in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is preceded by being born again.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8–9). "All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them" (Acts 2:4).

We believe in the Church established on earth by Jesus Christ — an assembly of those called out of the world, saved and belonging to the Lord. The Lord is its Head. We believe in the Lord's ordinances given to the Church: water baptism by full immersion and the Lord's Supper as a remembrance of Christ's suffering.

"And he is the head of the body, the church" (Colossians 1:18). "…the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:15). "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19). "For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you…" (1 Corinthians 11:23–25).

We believe in holiness as the standard of life for every believer. We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the rapture of the Church, and the second coming of Jesus Christ. We believe in the righteous judgment at the great white throne, which no one will escape except those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour and lived according to His Word. We await the life of the age to come on a new heaven and a new earth.

"…be holy in all you do; for it is written: 'Be holy, because I am holy'" (1 Peter 1:14–16). "…the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them…" (1 Thessalonians 4:14–17). "But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells" (2 Peter 3:13).
