Our vision

Raise unto God a people of dominion and integrity, bringing hope, help and healing to the total man: spirit, soul and body.

Who we are

We are believing women, children and men of various backgrounds and walks of life, gathered together in the name of the Lord Jesus to worship as one, love each other and win our communities for Jesus.

Our statement of faith

We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, a revelation from God to mankind, the infallible rule of faith and conduct, and is superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason (2 Tim 3:15-16; 1Peter 2:2).

We believe there is one God, creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three manifestations: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe in Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Godhead, True God and True Man. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. His death on the cross is the complete and final sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into Heaven, where at the right hand of God the Father, he is now our High Priest and Advocate.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the thrid Person of the Godhead. His ministry is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and, during this age, to convict men of sin, to regenerate the believing sinner, to indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service.

We believe man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God, but through the first man Adam's transgression and fall, sin came into the world (Romans 5:14, 1 John 3:8). Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God (Ephesians 2:8-10).

We believe in the New Birth and Eternal Life. Man's first step towards salvation is godly sorrow leading to repentance. The repenting sinner becomes born again and obtains a new nature of righteousness upon receiving Jesus Christ, at which point he is no longer a sinner but called a saint. The New Birth is necessary to all men and, when experienced, produces Eternal Life (2 Corinthians 7:10, John 3:3-5, 1John 5:12).

We believe in water baptism by immersion as a direct command of our Lord. It is for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the christian's identification with Christ's death, burial and resurrection. (Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:4, Colossians 2:12, Acts 8:36-39).

We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, which is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this dispensation and is received subsequent to the New Birth. This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance. It is a necessary enduement of divine power for service (Matthew 3:11, John 14:16-17, Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:1-4, Acts 19:1-7).

We believe in sanctification, which refers both to the purifying work of God in the believer and to the resulting holy conduct. The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. Sanctification is a definite, yet progressive work grace, commencing a the time of regeneration (New Birth) and continuing until the time of consummation of salvation at Christ's return (Hebrews 12:14, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Philipians 3:12-14, 1 Corintians 1:30).

We believe in the Church of the Lord Jesus. The true Church is composed of all such persons, wherever they may be, who through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together to form the body of Christ, of which He is himself the head.

We believe in divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry. The work of the ministry has been provided by the Lord Jesus Christ for a two-fold purpose: evangelization of the world and edification of the body of Christ (Mark 16: 15-20, Ephesians 4:11-13)

We believe in divine healing, which is for the curing of ills that afflict the human body and mind. It is wrought by the power of God and through faith. It is provided through the sacrifice of Christ and is the privilege of every member of the Church today (James 5:14-15, Mark 16:18, Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:17, 1 Peter 2:24).

We believe the Lord's supper (also known as communion) is a memorial service setting forth in sacred and symbolic manner the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. Only believers should take part in communion. (Luke 22:19, 1 Corinthinians 11:23-26).

We believe in the resurrection of the just and the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to catch away the Church (Acts 1:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

We believe in the eternal retribution of the unjust in the lake of fire. Whoever physicall dies in his sins without accepting Jesus Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost with no further opportunity of getting saved and is destined to spend eternity in the lake of fire. The lake of fire is literal. The terms "eternal" and "everlasting" used in describing the duration of the punishment of the damned in the lake of fire carry the same thought and meaning of endless existence as used in denoting the duration of joy and happiness of saints in the presence of God (Hebrews 9:27, Revelation 19:20).
