Statement of Faith
We believe in the one true God - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in Trinity.
We believe in Jesus Christ, God's beloved and only begotten son, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, the Word becoming flesh and living among men; He bore the burden of the world's sin and gave His life and shed His blood on the cross; He was buried, but rose from the dead on the third day; later He ascended into heaven and now sits at God's right hand to intercede for all saints; He will come again to receive the church, establish the heavenly kingdom on earth and judge the world.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Comforter who reveals and inspires; He convicts men of sin, makes them repent, and gives them new life; He comforts and upholds the believers, and sanctify them to a victorious life.
We believe that the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired word of God, the only scripture of Christianity, and the final authority of Christian faith and living.
We believe that Satan sinned from the beginning; he is the prince of the world, ruling this dark world; he is also the prince of the power of the air; he is the evil spirit who works in the hearts of the sons of disobedience; he is the source of all evil, and is the enemy of all goodness.
We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but because of his rebellion and disobedience to God's will, he sinned and is doomed to perish, becoming the enemy of God; thus man must be born again, that is, he must receive Jesus Christ as his personal savior and believe in the salvation through the Cross of the Lord Jesus, so that his sin is forgiven by means of His precious blood; only then can he regain sonship of God and will not perish, but have eternal life.
We believe that the church is the body of Christ built by the Holy Spirit; it is the house of the eternal God, of which Jesus Christ is the head, and all saints are joined together in the Lord Jesus as members of one body.
