OUR BELIEVE
We believe that there is only One God who is the Creator of heaven and earth who reveals Himself as the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There is no other god before and after Him.
We believe that the Scripture, both Old and New Testaments, is infallible in the original writing, and it is the supreme authority in life and spiritually inspired by God. It is God’s revelation to mankind to be foundation of truth. We also believe that the Bible is the power of God for the salvation of all who believe , and it is the proclamation of God’s message both as Law and Gospel revealing judgment and mercy through word and deed.
We believe that God created mankind in His own image and all things which are visible and invisible above earth, on the earth and beneath the earth, whether known or unknown, are created by the Creator.
We believe that God created man good and upright to have good fellowship with his Son. But man disobeyed God and chose the sinful way by eating the fruit of the Forbidden Tree. Therefore, by voluntary transgression, fell and there-by incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death.
We believe that there is salvation which comes from God’s only begotten Son Jesus Christ, who is totally man and God, born of a virgin, without sin and whose blood is atoned for our sins. There is hope and salvation for the world through faith in Jesus Christ. No one can go to God, except by Him. Jesus Christ is the Word of God incarnated, through whom everything was made and through His life, death, and resurrection, God fashions a new creation.
We believe that all believers in every nation, speaking various languages, far and near, are one in the Body of Christ; we are all God’s children. We fellowship and congregate to praise, worship, pray, and serve God as the Church

We believe in Jesus’ promise that He would send His Spirit to dwell in us and teach us the truth. Whosoever believes in Jesus Christ must be baptized in water and in the Holy Spirit. Being anointed with the Holy Spirit, believers shall be able to speak in other tongues. All believers are entitled to and should fervently expect and earnestly seek His promise, the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire. It comes with the inducement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. Baptism in the Holy Spirit comes with experiences of an overflowing fullness of the Spirit , a deepened reverence for God, an intensified consecration to God and dedication to His work, and a more active love for Christ, for His Word, and for the lost.
We believe that believers shall live a sanctified life which is an act of separation from what is evil, a life of dedication unto God. The Scripture teaches a life of peace and “without holiness no one will see the Lord.” Through the power of the Holy Spirit we are able to obey Jesus’ command: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, Love your neighbor as yourself, and be holy, for I am holy.” Through sanctification, we are able to live a life that manifests the work of God which exclude sinful practices of homosexuality, adultery, and other immoral deeds.
We believe that Jesus Christ Himself had commissioned His disciples to preach the Good News to all nations so that they may hear, know, believe, and accept Him as their Lord and Savior.
We believe that divine healing, casting out demons, and miracles come directly from God, and the Lord Jesus Christ gives the disciples the authority to exercise it.
We believe that all those who believe in Christ Jesus, but have fallen asleep (dead) will be raised again to life during the time the Lord Jesus Christ returns from heaven with the sound of God’s trumpet, the dead in Christ will rise first, and then the living will be transformed and join together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord Jesus Christ on the air.
We believe that the saints who died in Christ will reign with the Lord Jesus Christ one thousand years before the final judgment.
We believe that there will be a great final judgment in which all people, nations, tribes, either dead or alive will be raised and stand before the Almighty God, and He will judge each person according to how they lived their lives on earth. Those who believed will live with Him forever, while those who did evil will be thrown into the Lake of Fire.
We believe that there will be a New Heaven and New Earth. The old heaven and the old earth will pass away before the appearance of the Living God. All of those who believed in Jesus Christ shall inherit the New Heaven and New Earth forever and ever.
