Jesus is Lord
- We believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and the only way to the Father, as He declared in John 14:6. He is the fullest revelation of God to humanity.
- Jesus is God Manifested in the Flesh
  We believe that Jesus is God incarnate—fully God and fully man—who came in the flesh to take on the sins of the world, died on the cross, and rose again to offer salvation to all who believe (John 1:14, 1 Timothy 3:16).
- The Gospel
  The gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. It is through this message that people come to know and accept Jesus as Savior and Lord (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
- Salvation
  We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection brings the gift of salvation (Romans 10:9-10, Ephesians 2:8-9).
- Baptism
  We practice baptism by full immersion in the name of Jesus, following the example of the early church (Acts 2:38). Baptism is an outward sign of an inward transformation but does not itself bring salvation.
- The Bible
  We believe the Bible is the infallible, inspired Word of God. It is authoritative and without error, providing the ultimate guide for all matters of faith, life, and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17, Psalm 119:105).
- The Father
  God the Father is the Creator of all things, who made humanity in His image (Genesis 1:26). He is sovereign over all, working in love to bring all creation to His purpose.
- The Holy Spirit
  The Holy Spirit is our guide, transformer, and equipper. He empowers believers to live out the Christian faith with passion and purpose, guiding them into all truth (John 14:26, Acts 1:8).
- Baptism of the Holy Spirit
  We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is often evidenced by speaking in tongues (Acts 2:4). This is a sign of the Spirit’s work in the life of a believer, though not the sole indication of receiving the Spirit.
- The Five-Fold Ministry
  We believe that the gifts given to the early church—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—are still active today, equipping believers for ministry and building up the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-12).
- Apostolic Function
  We affirm the apostolic function in the church today, which includes church planting, leadership, and the demonstration of God’s power through miracles, signs, and wonders (1 Corinthians 2:4-5, Acts 14:21-23).
- Holiness
  Holiness is an outward expression of an inward transformation. To be holy is to be set apart for God’s purpose and to live a life that reflects His nature both privately and publicly (1 Peter 1:15-16, Hebrews 12:14).
- Sanctification
  Sanctification is the lifelong process of becoming more like Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit. It is through this process that we are transformed into the people God has called us to be (Philippians 1:6, 1 Thessalonians 5:23).
