Our Core Values

  • To cultivate an atmosphere of love and belonging where God’s people are respected and honored. As sons and daughters of God, we are to build for the glory of God’s kingdom by operating in the fruit of the Spirit, which includes love. (Galatians 5:16-26; 1 John 4:20-21)

  • To equip God’s people to holistically grow (spiritually, emotionally, physically, familially, academically, socially) in every life aspect—in conjunction with our growth in vision as a church. (Ephesians 2:8-10; 4:15-16; Hebrews 10:24-25; 1 Peter 2:2-3)

  • As we continue to grow as God’s people, we go out and touch the lives of others. Through spreading the Gospel, showing Godly love, and inviting them into fellowship, we can grow together in Christ. (Matthew 28:19-20; Colossians 2:6-7)

Our Beliefs

  • One God in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  • That Jesus Christ died on the cross and that by trusting in His death, we can be restored to a right relationship with God.

    That Jesus Christ is coming again.

    That Jesus Christ can make a difference in our lives today!

  • Holy Ghost Baptism with the physical evidence of speaking in tongues.

  • That the Bible is the Word of God, giving us all we need to know about how to be saved from sin and living a victorious christian life.

  • That we are all sinners both by nature and act, and need God’s forgiveness and cleansing.

  • That after being born again, you become God’s temple, where His Spirit dwells. You must allow the Holy Spirit to have full control over your  life to help you live a victorious life in Christ.

    As a born again believer, you have the God-kind of life. God no longer sees you as a sinner but a saint sanctified by the blood of Jesus. Your past sins and mistakes have all been cancelled.

  • Water baptism

    Christian Baptism by immersion.

    Communion

    In celebrating the Lord’s Supper (partaking in the Holy Communion).

  • That every new believer needs to be discipled in the word and in the church through our foundation school.

    Likewise every new member must also go through our foundation school to know the tenants of the church.

  • That Christian marriage is between one man and one woman and must be entered into advisedly through premarital counseling.
