Statement of Faith

Statement of Doctrine

Illustration

-1-

We believe that the Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the sacred Word of God, containing no errors in the original texts, are the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of mankind, and the divine and supreme authority for Christian faith and life.

-2-

We believe in one God, the Creator of everything, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

-3-

We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins, according to the Scriptures. Then He rose from the dead in the flesh, ascended to Heaven, where, being at the right hand of the Glory of God, He is now our High Priest and Intercessor.

-4-

We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ,and in this age to convict people, to revive sinners, and to dwell in believers, leading and instructing them, and empowering them for godly living and service.

-5-

We believe man was created in the image of God, but fell away because of sin, and therefore destined to perish. Only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can people can acquire salvation and spiritual life.

-6-

We believe that the death of Jesus Christ and His resurrection is the only basis for the justification and salvation of everyone who believes, and only those who trust inJesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit and thus become the children of God.

-7-

We believe the baptism of believers and the Lord's Supper are ordinances that must be fulfilled by the Church of the present. At the same time, they cannot be considered means of salvation.

-8-

We believe that the true Church consists of all those people who, through faith in Jesus Christ, who saves, were regenerated by the Holy Spirit and united in the Body of Christ, of which Christ is the Head.

-9-

We believe that only one who is born again should be considered a member of the Church, and thus eligible for membership in the local church.

-10-

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church, and that each local church is empowered under the leadership of Christ to make decisions and manage affairs within the church.

-11-

We believe in the personal, bodily and imminent coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and that this "blessed hope" is of great importance for the personal life and ministry of the believer.

-12-

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead: believers - to eternal bliss and joy with the Lord, unbelievers - to condemnation and eternal conscious punishment
