We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. It is reliable and holds ultimate authority in matters of belief, faith practice, and the human connection with God and humanity through Jesus Christ. Each passage is interpreted within the context of the entire Scripture, and the process of interpretation is carried out with carefulness, humility, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Consequently, we are encouraged to approach the Bible with all our concerns, questions, requests, aspirations, pain and hopes, with the expectation of receiving guidance, instruction, correction, healing and restoration.

who is the Creator and sustainer of heaven and earth, and the bestower of life.
who is fully God and fully human, sinless in nature. He is the Lord and Savior of all creation. He sacrificially died on the cross for the redemption of humanity, and through His resurrection, granted us the opportunity to become children of God through faith and acceptance of Him. Following His resurrection, Christ ascended into heaven, where He reigns as the exalted Lord over all and He will return to gather His people and judge all creation.
who serves as the counselor, guide, and comforter, sanctifying believers towards Christ-like character.
We believe that human beings are created in the image of God, designed as male and female, with the purpose of loving, being holy, and caring for the creation of God. Furthermore, we are called to worship, fellowship, and serve the Lord alone.
Salvation and Sin
We believe in the existence and power of Salvation and Sin. Salvation is the complete work of our Lord Jesus Christ, manifested through His life, teachings, death, burial, resurrection, and the anticipated second coming of Jesus Christ to gather the children of God. We acknowledge sin as possessing profound depth, intricacy, and complexity, resonating with the multifaceted nature of human existence across generations. Consequently, we are not only subject to the influence of sin but also actively contribute to its manifestation, both on an individual and communal level. While this complex issue requires detailed exploration, we endeavor to provide a broad overview of sin’s impact on humanity across three primary dimensions:- Alienation and separation from God (state of being), therefore, we turn to Jesus Christ to restore our relationship and grant us the privilege of being called children of God.
- Depriving us of our true humanity (missing the mark), thus, we rely on the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit in all our endeavors.
- Tempting us to rebel against God continually (active participation), hence, we seek the teachings of the Bible to guide and shape our actions, thoughts, desires, hopes and Christian growth.
God’s Purpose for the Individual Christian
We believe that all individuals are invited to believe and embrace God through Jesus Christ, who gave us:- A renewed identity in Christ, signifying our status as children of God.
- A renewed calling and purpose: to serve as ambassadors of the divine image; to embody and proclaim the Gospel under the guidance and empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
Church Identity and confession
In accordance with our theological and biblical understanding, we identify ourselves as baptistic, advocating for five foundational principles (or freedoms) of faith and belief:- Freedom to listen and receive the word of God, both individually and collectively as people.
- Freedom to read and study the Bible, earnestly seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
- Freedom to embrace faith and undergo baptism as an expression of personal conviction.
- Freedom to pursue vocations and ministries according to spiritual callings and gifts, and to respond to the directives of God.
- Freedom to assemble and self-govern as a local congregation.
