THE GREAT COMMISSION
As followers of Christ, we need to fulfill the great commission given by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We need to fulfill until His return, as it is our blessed privilege, command and to Minster in His name to the needy world. As we are instruments of Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit ministers redemption and reconciliation in the world.
(Mathew 25:31-46, 28:18-20) 

THE SCRIPTURES
We believe the whole Bible. "All scripture is given by the inspiration of God" (2 Timothy 3:16) The whole Bible is inspired in that Holy men of God "were moved by the Holy Spirit"(2 Peter 1:21) to write the very words of the scriptures. We believe that his Divine inspiration extends equally and fully to all parts of the scripture. We believe that the whole Bible in the originals is therefore without an error. We believe that all the scriptures center about the Lord Jesus in His person and work, in His first and Second Coming, and hence that no portion, even of the Old Testament, is properly read or understood until it leads to Him. We also believe that scripture was designed for our practical instruction.
(Luke 24:27, 44, John 5:39: Romans 15:4, I Corinthians 10:11; 2 timothy 3:16)

THE TRIUNE GOD
We believe in the one true and living God, the Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer, and Ruler of all things. He is infinite, eternal unchangeable, and is revealed to us as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. 

GOD, THE FATHER
God, as Father, reigns over His entire Universe with providential care, He is all-powerful, all-loving, all-knowing, and all-wise. He is fatherly in attitude toward all men and women but is Father, indeed, to those who have become children of God through Jesus Christ, who will deliver them into the Father's hands.
(Genesis 1:1; I Chronicles 29:10; Jeremiah 10:10; Mathew 6:9; Acts 1:7. Roams 8:14-15; I Corinthians 8:6; I Corinthians 8:6; I Corinthians 15:24; Ephesians 4:6) 

GOD, THE SON
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man. This redemption He accomplished by voluntarily giving Himself as a sinless, righteous judgment against sin. After sustaining the accomplishment of that redemption and justification by his bodily resurrection from the grave, He ascended to the right hand of his Father, where he intercedes on behalf of those who trust Him.
Luke 1:34-35; john 1:1, 14, 18; Romans 3:24-26, 8:34)

GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Divine Person Who convicts the world of sin (righteousness and judgment), that He alone bring s new life to those who are spiritually dead; that he baptizes (or places) all believers into the one true Church, which is the Body of Christ; that He dwells them permanently, seals them unto the day of final redemption, bestows spiritual gifts upon them, fills (controls) those who are yielding to Him. Every believer is called to life so in the power of the indwelling spirit that he will not fulfill the lust of the flesh but will bear fruit to the glory of God.
(John 3:3-8; 14: 16-17; 16:7-11; I Corinthians 12:7-11, 13; Ephesians 4:30; 5:18)

THE CREATION
We believe that man was created directly by and in the image of God. We believe that God created the heavens and the earth, including all life, by direct act.
(Genesis 1:1; John 1:3;Colossians 1:16-17) 

MAN
Man was created in the image of God, but he fell into sin and was lost. This is true of all men/women, and expect a man/woman be born again by the Holy Spirit, he/she cannot see the kingdom if God.
(Genesis 1:26-27; John 3:3; Romans 3:10,23) 

THE DEVIL-SATAN
We believe that Satan is a person, the author of sin, and the reason of the fall of man, and is destined to the judgment of an eternal punishment in the lake of fire.
(Mathew 4:1-3; Acts 5:3; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 20:10) 

ATONEMENT FOR SIN
: We believe that the Lord Jesus died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a substitute sacrifice and that all who believe on Him are redeemed by His shed blood. We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord Jesus Christ and in His ascension into heaven; He is our High Priest and Advocate.
(John 1:1,14; 3:1-7; Hebrews 10:4-14; I John 2:2)

SALVATION
We believe that salvation is the gift of God's grace. It cannot be gained or made more secure by meritorious works, but is freely bestowed upon all that put their trust and faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ at Calvary Cross. All who so trust the Savior are forgiven of their sins and born into the family of God by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit.
(John 1:12; Acts 16:30-33; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 1:7; 2:8-9)

THE CHRISTIAN WALK
We believe that we are called with a Holy calling to walk not after flesh but after the Spirit, and so to live in the power if the indwelling Spirit that we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. But the flesh is never eradicated in this life, and the individual chooses to keep the flesh in subjection to Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit or it will surely manifest its presence in our lives to the dishonor of our Lord.
 (Romans 6:11-13; 8: 2, 4, 12-13; Galatians 5:16-23; Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 2:1-10; I Peter 1:14-16; I John 1:4-7; 3:5-9)

Again thank you very much for your prayerful support.

Yours Sincerely in Christ,
