OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to reach out to the world wide and teach them about the kingdom of God through his son Jesus Christ.
Our (Doctrine Beliefs)
1. We
believe the Bible, both Old Testament and New Testament as the truth. The Holy
Bible as the inspired word of God expressing the will and the mind of God to
all mankind. It is the final sufficient in all matters of Doctrine and the
standard for living. ( 2 Tim 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:15-21,, Ps 119:89, Rev 22:13,
19:19, John 20:3, Joshua 1:3).
2. We
believe in the exercise of the one true God, creator of the heaven and the
earth and all that are in them. This one true God is revealed as God of the
Son, God of the Father and God of the Holy Spirit.
3. We
believe that all mankind are sinners by nature and subject to external punishment
and therefore need repentance. (Is 53:6, Is 59: 1-2, Rom 3:23, Rom 6:23, John
3:3, Rom 5:12).
4. We
believe that man cannot save himself but needs a savior who is Jesus Christ and
through him alone can man be saved. (Is 64:6, John 3:16, Acts 4:10-12, 2 Tim 2:
5-6).
5. We
believe in the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of God. (Is
7:14, Matt 18:25, Lk 1:26-35, Lk 2:1-7)
6. We
believe in the substitution and atoning death of our lord Jesus Christ for all
mankind. Is 53:3-6, Rom 5:8, John 3:14)
7. We
believe in the need of all men to repent of and confess their sins, and also
accept;
I.
The substitution death of
our Lord Jesus Christ for them, then only can they be justified, sanctified and
have peace with God. ( Rom 10:19, 2 Cor 5:17-21, Rom 51, Rom 8:1, John 1:12-13,
John 3:14-19, 1 Thess 5:23, 2 Cor 6:17, Heb 12:14)
II.
We believe in the Bodily
Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the Dead on the third day, as set
forth in the scriptures. We believe that he ascended to Heaven and is seated at
the right hand of the father interceding for us from where he shall come again
for his own at the appointed time by the Father. ( Lk 21:1-8, 33-46, Matt 28,
Mk 16, Acts 1:11, Eph 1:15-23, 1 Thess 4:14, John 14:1-14, Heb 9:28)
8.
We believe in eternal judgment and life after death. We believe that both the saved in Christ and. the unsaved shall all be resurrected
at the last day. The saved in
Christ to the resurrection of life, and the unsaved to the resurrection of condemnation (John 5:26 29, Thess. 1:13-18,
Heb. 8:37, Rev. 20-6, 12-15).
9. We believe in the sacraments of Water Baptism and the Holy Communion. (a) Adults who receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior must be baptized (Matt. 28:1'1; Mk 16:16; Act. 2; 37, 38, 41, Acts 8:36-38: Acts 22:16).
(a)
Children should not be baptized but
must be dedicated to the Lord there after be brought up in the nature and
admonition of the Lord till they are matured enough to understand the Salvation
message of our Lord Jesus Christ, believe in him and receive him. (Lk. 2:22-24,
34, Matt. 19: 16; Gen. 18:19; Eph. 6:4)
(b)
Baptism shall be by immersion in water
and shall be administered by one so authorized; Himself been born again,
baptized and full of the Holy Ghost (John 3:22, 23; Acts 3:36, 33; Rom. 6:3, 4)
(c) The Holy Communion or the Lords Supper or the
Eucharist is the reminiscence of
the Passover Lamb, this was instituted by the Lord Jesus Christ before he died on the Cross. It is to be done in remembrance
of Him, till he comes again, only people
who receive him or Have been baptized into Him, and are in full and good relationship with him may partake of
it.(Matt. 26:26-30 Lk. 22:7-20; John 6:50-58;
1 Cor. 10 :14-23; 1 Cor. 11:23-32). We
believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
10. We
also believe in the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the lives of all believers.
(Act 1:8; Acts
2:38, 39; 1 Cor. 12; 13-14; GaI.
5:22-26; Mk. 16:16-20; l Cor. 12:27-31; Rom. 12:1-9; Joel 2:28, 29).
11. We
believe in the Five-Fold Ministry's gifts of the Lord Jesus to His Church (i.e.
Apostles, Prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers).
We
also believe in all the operational gifts to the Church (e.g. helps
governments, music and others).We believe in Divine Healing and Miracle Working
by the Power of God and the casting out of Evil spirits, even though we are not
opposed to seeking conventional medical help (Eph. 4:11-14; 3 John 2; Isa 53:4,
5; Mk. 16:16-18; James 5:14: 1 Cor. 12:6, 18, 23-27)
12. We
believe in the monogamy (husband of one wife and wife of one husband). We
believe that marriage must be held in honour before God and man (l Tim. 3:2,
12; 1 Cor. 7:2; Heb. 13:42; Matt. 19:3-9: 1 Cor. 6:15-20).
13.
We believe in each believer
supporting the Church and the work of God with his/her tithes, Gifts, talents,
abilities, time, money and others whether in spiritual or social matters.(Mal.
3:8-12; Rom. 15:25-27; Rom. l2; 1 Cor. l3;1
John 3:16-18; Exod. 25:1-8; Exod. 35; Exod. 36:1-7)
