The Doctrinal Essentials
We affirm decision-making based on Scripture, tradition, and Godly wisdom. The Holy Scriptures are self-attesting and the essence of Truth which require our unreserved submission in all areas of our lives.
The infallible and trustworthy written Word of God is a complete and unified witness to God’s redemptive acts which culminated in the incarnation of the Living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Bible, uniquely inspired by the Holy Spirit, is the supreme and final authority in matters of faith and life.
The Word of God, Incarnate and written, provides the foundation for the following which doctrines we affirm:
He who is true God became true man, His two natures are united in one person forever. He lived a sinless life and died on a cross, a perfect
sacrifice for our sins, according to the Scriptures. On the third day He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven,
where, seated at the right hand of the Almighty Majesty on High, He mediates as our High Priest and Head of the Church. Jesus Christ
is the exclusive Messiah. The only Way to salvation, the only Truth and the only Life in whom people may put their trust and obtain eternal life.
4. The Holy Spirit has come to glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to the hearts of sinful, repentant people.
He convicts us of sin and draws us to the Savior. Jesus baptizes His disciples in the power of the Holy Spirit and empowers them through
multiple in-filling’s to do the supernatural work of ministry in His Name.
5. The Holy Spirit illuminates the Holy Scriptures, instructs the hearts of believers, and guides us into all truth.
The one holy catholic and apostolic Church, the true Church, is composed of all persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ
and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, are united together in the Body of Christ. The Church finds her visible, yet imperfect,
expression in local congregations where the Word of God is preached in its purity and the Sacraments are administered in their integrity,
scriptural discipline is practised, and loving fellowship is maintained to nurture the believers in the life of Christ. For her perfecting,
the Church awaits the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
6. Jesus Christ will come again to the earth – suddenly, personally, visibly, and bodily – to judge the living and the dead, and
to consummate history and the eternal plan of God. We seek to faithfully serve Christ in the world as His ambassadors as we joyfully
anticipate His appearing.

The Holy Bible, uniquely inspired by the Holy Spirit, is the supreme and final authority in matters of faith and life.
The Word of God, Incarnate and written, provides the foundation for the following which doctrines we affirm:
- We believe in one God, the sovereign Creator, sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To Him be all honour, glory and worship forever!
- being estranged from God and condemned by our total depravity, our salvation is wholly dependent upon the work of God’s unmerited favour and graciousness. God credits His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby justifying them in His Holy Presence. Only those who are born of the Holy Spirit and receive Jesus Christ, in word and obedient action, as Savior and Lord, become children of God, members of the Body of Christ and heirs of eternal life.
