THE CREATION
We believe that God created the heavens and the earth in six literal days and rested on the seventh (Genesis 1–2). Creation was a deliberate act of God’s sovereign will, not a product of chance or evolution. God spoke, and all things came into being — visible and invisible — by the power of His Word.
All creation reflects His glory and divine order, declaring His eternal power and divine nature (Romans 1:20). Humanity, made in His image and likeness (Genesis 1:26–27), was created for fellowship with Him, to live in holiness and stewardship over the earth.
References: Genesis 1–2; Exodus 20:11; John 1:1–3; Colossians 1:16–17; Psalm 19:1.
Application: Creation reminds us that life is sacred, purposeful, and designed to glorify the Creator.
THE FALL OF MAN - SIN & ITS CONSEQUENCES
Man, created in God’s image, rebelled through disobedience in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3). Through Adam’s sin, death and separation from God entered the world (Romans 5:12). Sin corrupted human nature, bringing spiritual death, brokenness, and bondage.
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Without divine intervention, humanity remains under judgment. But God, in His mercy, promised redemption through the Seed of the woman — Jesus Christ (Genesis 3:15).
References: Genesis 3; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12–19; Isaiah 59:2; 1 Corinthians 15:22.
Application: Sin is humanity’s greatest problem, but Christ is God’s perfect solution.
THE SALVATION OF MAN ~ THE NEW BIRTH
We believe that salvation is the free gift of God, given by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8–9). It cannot be earned by human effort or good deeds but is received by trusting fully in the finished work of Christ on the cross and His resurrection.
This saving faith is never without fruit—it produces a new life in Christ, marked by love, obedience, and good works. Those who are truly saved are made new in Him (2 Corinthians 5:17) and begin to bear the fruit of the Spirit through a transformed life (Galatians 5:22–25).
Good works are not the cause of salvation but the evidence of it—the natural outflow of a redeemed life in Christ, prepared by God for His glory (Ephesians 2:10; James 2:17; Matthew 5:16).
REPENTANCE
Repentance is a sincere turning from sin toward God. It involves conviction of sin, godly sorrow, confession, and a change of heart and behavior (Acts 2:38; 2 Corinthians 7:10).
True repentance is evidence of the Holy Spirit’s work, leading to forgiveness and restoration. It is not merely regret for wrongdoing but a complete redirection of one’s life toward holiness and obedience.
References: Luke 13:3; Acts 2:38; Acts 3:19; 2 Corinthians 7:9–10; 1 John 1:9.
Application: Repentance is not optional — it is the first step toward reconciliation with God.
Baptism
Water baptism is an outward testimony of an inward transformation — a public declaration of faith and obedience to Christ. Through baptism, the believer identifies with Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection (Romans 6:3–4). It symbolizes the washing away of sin, newness of life, and commitment to follow Jesus.
Baptism does not save, but it is an act of obedience commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19).
References: Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 2:38; Acts 8:36–38; Romans 6:3–4; Colossians 2:12.
Application: Baptism is the believer’s pledge of loyalty to Christ and separation from the world.
The SINNER Vs The SAINT
The sinner lives under sin’s dominion, separated from God and condemned (Romans 6:23). The saint — one who is born again — is forgiven, justified, and set apart for God’s glory.
While believers may struggle, sin no longer reigns in their lives (Romans 6:14). Saints are not perfect by nature, but are being perfected through sanctification and the Holy Spirit’s power.
References: Romans 6:11–14; 1 Corinthians 6:9–11; Ephesians 2:1–5; Colossians 1:13–14.
Application: The difference between sinner and saint is not moral improvement but spiritual transformation through Christ.
THE NEW IDENTITY
Before salvation, we were dead in sin, enslaved by the flesh, and without hope (Ephesians 2:1–3). In Christ, believers receive a new identity — redeemed, righteous, and reconciled to God.
We are now children of God, heirs with Christ, and temples of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:15–17; 1 Corinthians 6:19). The old self is crucified, and the new self lives to glorify God.
References: 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 4:22–24; Romans 8:1–2.
Application: Believers must daily walk in their new identity, no longer defined by past sins but by Christ’s righteousness.
COMMUNITY
The early Church thrived in unity, prayer, teaching, and fellowship (Acts 2:42–47).
God never designed His people to live isolated lives but to thrive in fellowship and interdependence.
The Christian community models heaven on earth — where Christ’s love binds hearts together and the world sees the testimony of unity (John 13:34–35).
The Church today must recover this communal model — living as family, not spectators — and reform our individualistic culture by returning to authentic fellowship and mutual care. True Christian growth happens within a Spirit-filled, accountable community.
​
References: Acts 4:32–35; Galatians 6:2; Hebrews 10:24–25; 1 John 1:7
Application: True community means living connected lives — sharing, praying, and growing together in Christ.
DAILY LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN
Believers are called to daily abide in Christ through prayer, Scripture, fellowship, and obedience. We are to walk by the Spirit, resist temptation, and live as lights in a dark world (Galatians 5:16; Matthew 5:14–16).
Daily devotion, humility, service, and gratitude are marks of true discipleship.
References: Luke 9:23; Colossians 3:16–17; John 15:4–5; Philippians 4:6.
Application: The Christian life is lived one day at a time — in continual dependence on the Lord.
OUTREACH
Outreach is not optional; it is the heartbeat of God’s mission. Jesus commanded His followers to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18–20). We are called to obey this mandate with boldness, empowered by the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8).
Evangelism is intentional and Spirit-led — not programs, but living witnesses who proclaim Christ in power, love, and truth.
We are called to preach repentance, perform miracles, and demonstrate the kingdom of God in action (Acts 8:4–8).
Every believer is a missionary. Outreach flows from love — love for God and love for souls. As ambassadors of Christ, we must go, teach, heal, and serve in obedience to the Great Commission.
References: Matthew 28:18–20; Acts 1:8; Mark 16:15–18; Romans 10:14–15; 2 Corinthians 5:18–20.
Application: Outreach is not an event but a lifestyle — empowered by the Holy Spirit and driven by compassion for the lost.
FELLOWSHIP
Fellowship (Greek: koinonia) means spiritual sharing and partnership. Believers are to be “of one heart and one soul” (Acts 4:32). Our fellowship must be centered around Christ — expressed through worship, prayer, meals, and mutual encouragement.
Fellowship is more than social connection; it is covenant relationship rooted in love and sacrifice. We are called to rejoice together, bear each other’s burdens, and hold one another accountable.
Modern individualism has weakened this biblical model, but the Church must return to genuine fellowship — where relationships are built on truth, forgiveness, and shared purpose in Christ.
References: Acts 2:42; 1 John 1:7; Philippians 2:1–4; Hebrews 10:24–25.
Application: Fellowship is the life of the Church — a daily, Spirit-led sharing of life, faith, and love among believers.
ACCOUNTABILITY
Accountability is a mark of spiritual maturity and community health. Believers are called to submit to one another in love and truth (Ephesians 5:21).
Accountability protects us from deception, sin, and pride.
God has called us to confess our faults, correct one another in gentleness, and uphold biblical discipline for the sake of purity and restoration (James 5:16; Galatians 6:1–2).
True accountability flows from humility and a shared desire to grow in holiness.
References: Proverbs 27:17; James 5:16; Galatians 6:1–2; Ephesians 5:21; Matthew 18:15–17.
Application: Accountability is not control — it is love in action, helping each other remain faithful to Christ.
BREAKING OF BREAD ~ COMMUNION
The breaking of bread is both a sacred remembrance and a spiritual fellowship. Instituted by Jesus on the night He was betrayed.
Communion symbolizes His body broken and His blood shed for the remission of sins (Matthew 26:26–28).
All believers are called to observe this continually with reverence, unity, and sincerity of heart (Acts 2:42, 46). Communion is not a ritual but a living reminder of the covenant of grace and a proclamation of the Lord’s death until He returns (1 Corinthians 11:23–26).
References: Luke 22:19–20; Acts 2:42, 46; 1 Corinthians 11:23–30.
Application: Communion calls believers to self-examination, unity, and renewed devotion to Christ’s sacrifice and Lordship.
SANCTIFICATION & HOLINESS
Sanctification is the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit that conforms believers to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). It begins at salvation and continues throughout life as we yield to the Word and Spirit.
God’s will for every believer is holiness — to be set apart from sin and dedicated to His purposes (1 Thessalonians 4:3). Holiness is both positional (through Christ’s righteousness) and practical (through daily obedience).
The Church must return to holiness — not as legalism but as love expressed in purity and truth.
References: 1 Thessalonians 4:3–7; Hebrews 12:14; John 17:17; 1 Peter 1:15–16; Romans 12:1–2.
Application: Sanctification is the evidence of salvation — a transformed life that reflects the character of a holy God.
DELIVERANCE, HEALING & OTHER MIRACLES
God still heals, delivers, and works miracles today. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8) and gave His Church authority over sickness, demons, and all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19).
The Church must walk in supernatural power — healing the sick, casting out demons, and proclaiming freedom to the oppressed (Acts 5:12–16).
Miracles confirm God’s Word and reveal His compassion and power to save.
Deliverance is the believer’s right through the blood of Jesus. Healing flows from the stripes He bore (Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 8:16–17).
References: Mark 16:17–18; Luke 4:18–19; Acts 10:38; James 5:14–16; Hebrews 13:8.
Application: Miracles are not for show but for the glory of God — to reveal Christ’s power and confirm His truth.
JUSTICE & RIGHTEOUSNESS
God’s throne is established on righteousness and justice (Psalm 89:14). True justice flows from His character — impartial, merciful, and true. Believers are called to “do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God” (Micah 6:8).
Righteousness is right standing with God and right living before men. In Christ, we are made righteous (2 Corinthians 5:21), and through the Spirit, we are empowered to live righteously.
The Church must stand for truth, defend the oppressed, and act with integrity, reflecting God’s justice in the world.
References: Isaiah 1:17; Micah 6:8; Matthew 5:6; Romans 3:22–26; James 2:14–17.
Application: Justice without righteousness is humanism; righteousness without justice is hypocrisy. God calls us to both.
MARRIAGE ~ One Man & One Woman
Marriage is a holy covenant established by God between one biological man and one biological woman (Genesis 2:24. It is a reflection of Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:31–32).
​
God designed marriage for companionship, fruitfulness, and faithfulness. Any other form of union contradicts His Word.
​
The marital covenant is lifelong, sacred, and centered on love, respect, and mutual submission under God’s authority.
​
References: Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4–6; Ephesians 5:22–33; Hebrews 13:4.
​
Application: Marriage is not man’s invention but God’s design — a living testimony of divine love and covenant.
Sexuality
Sexual intimacy is a gift from God to be enjoyed within the covenant of marriage between a biological man and a biological woman. Outside this context, it becomes sin — whether fornication, adultery, or any form of sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18–20).
The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit; believers are called to honor God with their bodies and live in purity.
God’s standard for sexuality is holiness and fidelity, guarding the sanctity of marriage and preserving the dignity of human relationships.
References: 1 Corinthians 6:18–20; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Thessalonians 4:3–5; Genesis 2:24.
Application: Sexual purity is not repression — it is freedom through obedience and respect for God’s divine order.
HUMILITY
Humility is the posture of Christ — the attitude of one who depends entirely on God and seeks to serve others. Jesus humbled Himself even to death on a cross (Philippians 2:5–8).
God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). In humility, believers find grace, wisdom, and unity.
References: Philippians 2:3–8; James 4:6–10; 1 Peter 5:5–6; Matthew 23:12.
Application: True greatness in God’s kingdom is measured not by power, but by humility and service.
PRAYER
Prayer is intimate communication with God — the lifeblood of the believer’s relationship with Him. Jesus modeled a life of continual prayer (Luke 5:16).
Through prayer, we receive strength, guidance, forgiveness, and power.
The Church is called to pray earnestly and witness mighty moves of God (Acts 4:31).
References: Matthew 6:6–13; Philippians 4:6–7; 1 Thessalonians 5:17; James 5:16.
Application: A praying church is a powerful church. Prayer keeps believers aligned with God’s will and filled with His presence.
FASTING
Fasting is the voluntary denial of food and comfort to seek God more deeply.
It humbles the soul, strengthens the spirit, and sharpens spiritual sensitivity.
Jesus taught that fasting, when done in secret, brings great reward (Matthew 6:16–18).
We are called to fast for guidance, deliverance, and empowerment (Acts 13:2–3).
References: Matthew 6:16–18; Acts 13:2–3; Joel 2:12–13; Isaiah 58:6.
Application: Fasting moves us closer to Him.
SACRIFICE
Christian life is a call to daily sacrifice — laying down one’s desires to serve God’s purpose. The reward is a fullness of joy, peace, and God's presence.
We are called to present our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God (Romans 12:1). Sacrifice is the essence of worship, the fragrance of love, and the proof of true discipleship.
References: Romans 12:1–2; Luke 9:23; Hebrews 13:15–16; Philippians 2:17.
Application: Every act of obedience is an altar of sacrifice. Love always gives.
HELPING THE NEEDY
God commands His people to care for the poor, widows, orphans, and strangers. Compassion reflects His heart.
Faith without works is dead (James 2:17).
The early Church showed us a good example; they shared generously so that none among them lacked (Acts 4:34–35). Giving to the needy is service to Christ Himself, and all believers are called to be apart of this blessing (Matthew 25:35–40).
​
References: Proverbs 19:17; Matthew 25:35–40; Acts 4:34–35; James 1:27.
Application: Charity is not optional — it’s worship expressed in love and justice.
DISCIPLESHIP
Discipleship is following Jesus in obedience and helping others do the same. It is a lifelong process of transformation through teaching, example, and accountability (Matthew 28:19–20).
Jesus called His followers to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him (Luke 9:23). True disciples grow in faith, bear fruit, and reproduce other disciples.
References: Matthew 28:19–20; Luke 9:23; John 8:31; 2 Timothy 2:2.
Application: The Church’s strength is not in its numbers but in its disciples — faithful followers who walk as Jesus walked.
THE GREAT COMMISSION ~ EVERY BELIEVER’S MISSION
The Great Commission is the Church’s global mandate. Every believer is called to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and teach obedience to Christ’s commands (Matthew 28:18–20).
This mission is empowered by the Holy Spirit and driven by love for the lost. Until every nation hears, the mission remains.
​
References: Matthew 28:18–20; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:14–15.
​
Application: Evangelism is not a ministry for a few — it’s the heartbeat of every believer redeemed by grace.
​
THE END TIMES
The End Times mark the fulfillment of God’s prophetic plan for creation — a period of intensified spiritual conflict, global deception, and divine intervention leading to Christ’s triumphant return.
Jesus foretold wars, famines, earthquakes, and increasing wickedness as “the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:6–8). Yet believers are called not to fear but to remain faithful and discerning.
The End Times are not merely doom and destruction — they are the unfolding of God’s justice and the ultimate vindication of His people.
​
References: Matthew 24; Luke 21:25–36; 2 Timothy 3:1–5; Daniel 12:1–4.
​
Application: The wise discern the times not to panic, but to prepare, purify, and persevere.
THE ANTICHRIST
The Antichrist is a real, future world leader who will rise in rebellion against God and deceive the nations (2 Thessalonians 2:3–4).
Empowered by Satan, he will demand worship, persecute the saints, and perform lying wonders (Revelation 13:1–8).
​
He will establish a global system of control — political, economic, and religious — marking all who follow him with the “mark of the beast” (Revelation 13:16–18).
​
Yet his reign is temporary. Jesus Christ will destroy him with the breath of His mouth and the brightness of His coming (2 Thessalonians 2:8).
​
References: Daniel 7:8, 25; 2 Thessalonians 2:3–10; 1 John 2:18; Revelation 13:1–18.
​
Application: The spirit of Antichrist is already at work (1 John 4:3); believers must stand firm in truth and loyalty to Christ alone.
THE NEED FOR PATIENT, ENDURANCE & PERSEVERANCE
The call to endurance is central to the faith. “He who endures to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 24:13).
​
In a world growing cold and hostile to truth, believers must hold fast to their confession, refusing compromise and clinging to hope.
Patience in suffering refines character and proves faith genuine (James 1:2–4).
​
References: Hebrews 10:36–39; James 1:2–4; Revelation 14:12; Romans 5:3–5.
​
Application: Endurance is not passive waiting — it is steadfast faith under pressure, fueled by eternal hope.
PERSECUTION, TRIALS & TRIBULATIONS
Before the return of Christ, believers will endure increasing persecution, trials, and tribulations for the sake of righteousness (Matthew 24:9–13).
​
The Great Tribulation (Revelation 7:14) will be a time of unprecedented suffering, testing the faith of all who remain loyal to God. Yet, in this refining fire, the true Church will shine with endurance and faithfulness.
​
References: Matthew 24:21–22; John 16:33; Acts 14:22; Revelation 7:13–17.
​
Application: Persecution is not defeat — it is purification. Through trials, God prepares His saints for glory.
MEN’S TRIBULATIONS vs GOD’S GREAT TRIBULATION
Human tribulations are the natural consequences of sin, corruption, and rebellion in a fallen world (John 16:33).
But the Great Tribulation is God’s righteous judgment poured out upon a world that has rejected His Son (Revelation 6–18).
​
While men’s tribulations are temporal, God’s wrath during the Great Tribulation is divine, just, and final in purpose — to cleanse the earth and prepare it for Christ’s kingdom.
God calls all believers to endure man's tribulations and trials, relying on the power of the Holy Spirit. Those who will continue in the Faith will be spared during God's Tribulation referred to as the hour of trouble in Revelation 3:10.
​
References: Revelation 6–18; Zephaniah 1:14–18; Romans 2:5–8.
​
Application: Believers are called to be ready, discerning the difference between human suffering and divine judgment, trusting that God’s wrath is never appointed to His redeemed (1 Thessalonians 5:9).
THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD
The resurrection is the blessed hope of all believers. At Christ’s coming, the dead in Christ shall rise first, and those who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17).
​
This resurrection is literal — the mortal will put on immortality, and death will be swallowed up in victory (1 Corinthians 15:51–54).
​
The unrighteous, too, will be resurrected later for judgment (John 5:28–29).
​
References: Daniel 12:2; John 11:25–26; 1 Corinthians 15:42–54; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18.
Application: The resurrection gives believers strength to endure, knowing that death is not the end but the beginning of eternal life.
THE RAPTURE
The Rapture is the catching away of the Church to meet Christ in the air before the outpouring of God’s wrath upon the world (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17).
​
It will happen suddenly, “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye” (1 Corinthians 15:52).
Believers must live in constant readiness, for “the Son of Man comes at an hour you do not expect” (Matthew 24:44).
​
References: 1 Thessalonians 4:16–18; 1 Corinthians 15:51–52; John 14:1–3; Matthew 24:42–44.
​
Application: The Rapture is the blessed hope of the Church — a call to holiness, vigilance, and faithfulness.
THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST
After the Great Tribulation, Christ will return visibly and gloriously with His saints to establish His kingdom on earth (Revelation 19:11–16).
​
Every eye will see Him, and every knee will bow (Revelation 1:7; Philippians 2:10–11). He will judge the nations, defeat the Antichrist, and reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.
​
References: Matthew 24:29–31; Acts 1:9–11; Revelation 19:11–16; Zechariah 14:3–9.
​
Application: The Second Coming is the believer’s ultimate hope and the unbeliever’s final warning — Christ is coming soon.
THE MILLENNIUM
Following His return, Christ will reign on earth for a literal thousand years — the Millennial Kingdom (Revelation 20:1–6).
​
During this time, Satan will be bound, peace and righteousness will fill the earth, and Israel will be restored to her covenant promises.
​
The saints will reign with Christ, fulfilling God’s original purpose for humanity to rule and steward creation under His authority.
References: Revelation 20:1–6; Isaiah 11:1–10; Zechariah 14:9–11; 2 Timothy 2:12.
​
Application: The Millennium is God’s demonstration of perfect government under Christ — justice, peace, and holiness reigning supreme.
THE FINAL JUDGMENT
After the Millennium, Satan will be released for a short time, then finally defeated and cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:7–10).
All the dead who rejected Christ will be resurrected to stand before the Great White Throne for judgment according to their deeds (Revelation 20:11–15).
​
There is no appeal, no second chance — only the verdict of eternal separation from God. Everyone whose name is not found written in the Book of life will be thrown in the lake of fire where Satan, the Antichrist and the false prophets are.
​
References: Revelation 20:7–15; Hebrews 9:27; Matthew 25:31–46; Romans 2:5–8.
​
Application: God’s judgment is just and final. The time for repentance is now.
THE ETERNAL LIFE
Eternal life is the ultimate gift of God through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23). It is not merely endless existence but eternal fellowship in His presence — a life of joy, peace, and perfect communion with God.
​
In the new heaven and new earth, there will be no more death, sorrow, or pain, for the former things will have passed away (Revelation 21:1–4).
​
God will dwell among His people, and they shall reign with Him forever.
​
References: John 3:16; John 17:3; Revelation 21:1–7; Romans 6:23.
​
Application: Eternal life begins the moment we believe in Christ and will culminate in eternal glory with Him.
