We believe in the authority of the Bible as the Word of God. We believe that all scripture is divinely inspired by God and is the unshakable foundation for sound doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16–17).

We believe that there is one God, who eternally exists in three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16–17, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Ephesians 4:4–6).

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His power to heal, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His sacrifice on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Mediator. We believe that the Lord Jesus is coming back again just as He promised (John 14:2–3, Matthew 24:30).

We believe that the Holy Spirit is our Comforter. He guides us in all areas of our lives (John 14:26, KJV). We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of praying in the Spirit (Acts 2:1–4). We believe in the nine gifts of the Spirit and the nine attributes of the fruit of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:7–11, Galatians 5:22–23).

We believe water baptism is an outward expression of our faith that demonstrates a believer’s identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus (Acts 8:12, Romans 6:4).

We believe the good news that God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, Jesus, and whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved (John 3:16–17). We believe we are called to bring this good news—the gospel of grace—to all nations (Acts 20:24).

We believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). All who call on the name of the Lord Jesus shall be saved (Romans 10:13). The Bible tells us, “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9–10).

We believe that through the cross at Calvary, all who believe in Jesus and acknowledge Him as their Lord and Savior are under the new covenant of grace. Under the law, God said He will by no means clear the guilty but will visit their sins to the third and fourth generations (Exodus 34:7). Under grace, God says, “I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more” (Hebrews 8:12). The law is man-centered whereas grace is Jesus-centered. The law focuses on what we must accomplish to be justified. Grace focuses entirely on what Jesus has accomplished for our justification. Under the law, we are disqualified by our disobedience. Under grace, we are qualified by Jesus’ obedience. Under the law, we are made righteous when we do right. Under grace, we are made righteous when we believe right (Romans 4:3–8).

We believe that today, we are under the new covenant of grace. “For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:17). The old covenant of the law was given through a servant. Grace and truth came through the Son. The law talks about what man ought to be. Grace reveals who God is to man. The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life (2 Corinthians 3:6). Under the law, God demands righteousness from spiritually bankrupt man. But under grace, God provides righteousness as a gift (2 Corinthians 5:21, Romans 5:17).

We believe grace is a teacher who teaches true believers to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts. The Bible is very clear in stating that, “the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age” (Titus 2:11–12). Grace is not a license to sin. Any person who makes this false claim to justify their own life choices does not understand the gospel of grace and does not represent what we believe.

We believe that as born-again believers in Jesus Christ, we are called to live victoriously over the power of sin and to “walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Colossians 1:10). We believe sin is always accompanied by destructive consequences. This is not the result of God’s punishment against believers, but the destructive consequences of sin itself.

We believe that sin separated us from a holy God and the penalty for sin is death. Romans 6:23 tells us, “For the wages of sin is death”. The good news is that Romans 6:23 does not stop there. It goes on to say, “But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”. In Christ, “we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:7). The Bible also tells us, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Therefore, it is essential that when someone becomes a believer in Jesus Christ, they acknowledge their sins, recognize their need for a Saviour, and make a personal decision to receive His complete forgiveness for all their sins.

We believe the good fruit of the gospel of grace will lead to victorious living over sin, beautiful marriages, strong families, genuine generosity, and born-again believers who reign in every area of their lives to the glory of God. Romans 5:17 tells us, “Much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.”

We believe that truly born-again believers are not looking for an excuse to sin. How can they if they have been impacted by Jesus’ love and sacrifice? We believe they are looking for a way out of sin and out of the prison of fear, guilt, and condemnation. We have observed that the more we proclaim God’s amazing grace and unconditional love, the more we receive testimony after testimony from people around the world who have been liberated from pornography, alcoholism, drugs, and sexual immorality. That is the power of the gospel of grace. When Jesus is preached, sin loses its power to have dominion over people’s lives and true repentance occurs.

We believe the holy Communion commemorates the Lord’s death, and we partake of the holy Communion in remembrance of Him (1 Corinthians 11:24–25). The holy Communion is also known as the Eucharist, from the Greek word eucharistia, which means “thanksgiving”. At the cross, “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). When we remember and honour the Lord’s death through partaking of the holy Communion by faith, we are giving thanks and receiving afresh all that He has accomplished at the cross on our behalf, which includes health, wholeness, and peace. We join the psalmist in proclaiming with thankfulness in our hearts, “Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's” (Psalm 103:1–5).
