Our faith is deeply rooted in the transformative power of God's love and the truths revealed in His Word. Our beliefs guide us in our journey of faith, shaping our worship, fellowship, and the way we live our lives. Our four doctrines of our faith are: Salvation, Divine Healing, Baptism in the Holy Spirit, and the Second Coming of Christ.
SALVATION
Salvation lies at the heart of our Christian faith, celebrating God's triumph over sin. This pivotal truth brings about deliverance, healing, and the restoration of lives. It is essential for every believer, whether new to the faith or mature in their spiritual journey, to grasp the significance of salvation. Understanding this truth illuminates the transformative impact it has on individuals and our church community, fostering a life of freedom and purpose in Christ.
DIVINE HEALING
Following the compassionate footsteps of Jesus, we believe in the ministry of healing. Christ's healing acts were not only demonstrations of His divine power but also served to deepen the faith of those healed. This connection between healing and salvation underscores the importance of preaching, teaching, and practicing divine healing within our community. We are committed to praying with faith, entrusting the outcomes to God's will, and witnessing the miraculous works of healing in today's world.
BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a defining aspect of our faith, empowering our witness with passion and power. Jesus promised His disciples that they would receive power from on high, enabling them to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth. We hold fast to this promise, believing in its continued relevance as we carry the gospel message. This truth energizes our mission, equipping us with the spiritual gifts necessary for a vibrant, impactful ministry.
SECOND COMING
In a world fraught with natural disasters, economic challenges, and widespread uncertainty, the promise of Christ's Second Coming offers hope and assurance. We stand firm in the belief of our Lord's imminent return, a truth that compels us to live with expectation and share this blessed hope with others. As believers, we are called to rest in the certainty of Christ's return, encouraging one another and spreading the message of hope to a world in need!
