We affirm the existence of one God, who eternally manifests in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return to earth to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.

The Holy Spirit is equal to the Father and the Son as God. He is active in the world to enlighten individuals regarding their necessity for Jesus Christ. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit empowers Christians to lead a righteous life, grants them insight into spiritual truths, and offers direction in making morally sound decisions. As Christians, we should strive to submit to His influence daily.
We believe in the present-day ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life.
We believe the full Gospel includes holiness of heart and life, healing for the body, and baptism in the Holy Spirit, with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. Upon receiving the Holy Spirit, a believer experiences a profound transformation in their life. This change is articulated in 2 Corinthians 5:17, which states, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”

Salvation is a divine gift bestowed upon humanity by God. Individuals cannot atone for their sins through self-betterment or virtuous deeds. The only path to salvation from the consequences of sin is through faith in Jesus Christ, who represents God’s provision of forgiveness. Eternal life begins the instant one accepts Jesus Christ into their life through faith.

Baptism serves as a profound demonstration of our faith, as both commanded and exemplified by Jesus. It represents an act of obedience and a public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ. Consequently, the Scriptures indicate that only those who have genuinely believed in Jesus and accepted Him as their personal Savior should undergo baptism. In accordance with the biblical pattern, baptism is conducted in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and is carried out through full immersion in water.

Human beings were designed for eternal existence. They will either face everlasting separation from God due to sin or experience unity with God through forgiveness and salvation. Eternal separation from God constitutes Hell, while eternal union with Him represents eternal life. Both Heaven and Hell serve as realms of perpetual existence.
