Our Beliefs

We believe in the one true Almighty God, who is eternally self-existent—Creator, Sustainer, Ruler, Savior, Father, King, and Judge of the whole world.

We believe our Lord Jesus is God; there is none else beside Him. He is omniscient (knows everything and has unlimited understanding or knowledge), omnipotent (has complete or unlimited power), and omnipresent (present in all places at all times).

We believe that God became flesh and came as a man—Jesus. God is a Spirit (John 4:24), and Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. Jesus is fully God and fully man. Colossians 1:13–17 describes Jesus as the image of the invisible God, and Hebrews 1:3 calls Him the radiance of God's glory.

 

The Bible

The Bible, composed of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God. It is without error in the original writings, written as men were moved by the Holy Ghost. Its words are not open to private interpretation but have one meaning—inspired by Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21).

 

Salvation

We believe in faith, repentance, and baptism! Jesus said in Mark 16:16, “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” All throughout the book of Acts, when the hearts of people were pricked—desiring to go deeper in full surrender to the Lord—believers were baptized and received the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ.

After professing belief, repentance and baptism are acts of faith and obedience to Jesus Christ’s Word, essential to entering into His covenant (Acts 2:38; Romans 6; Acts 10:47–48).

 

The Gospel

The gospel—the good news—is Jesus. From the beginning, God desired relationship with us, walking in fellowship with Adam in the Garden. But through Satan’s deception, sin entered the world, separating humanity from God and plunging us into darkness (Romans 1:25).

Yet God, rich in mercy, came to restore that relationship. He took on flesh as Jesus, paying the price for our sin through His innocent death on the cross (Isaiah 53; Hebrews 2:9). Three days later, He rose from the dead, conquering death, hell, and the grave, and making a way for us to be restored to God (Revelation 1:18).

Before ascending, Jesus gave us the Great Commission—to go into all the world, proclaim the gospel, baptize believers, and remember: “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:19–20)

 

The Church

The Church is called to fulfill the Great Commission and spread the name of Jesus like wildfire. It’s not a building—it’s a people, just as in the book of Acts—still preaching the life-changing power of the cross, the blood, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Through His name, lives are transformed, hearts healed, and miracles happen. The name of Jesus is everything—that’s why it’s on our door, our lips, and our hearts. “It pleased the Father that in Him all fullness should dwell.” (Colossians 1:19)

The world may try to remove His name, but the disciples suffered—and triumphed—for preaching it. Jesus has set us free by His blood, and now we walk in that freedom, declaring His victory.  Jesus is all-powerful. His name is powerful. Satan is defeated, and every time we live out our purpose, we remind him of his end—by lifting up the name of Jesus!

Sabbath

In the beginning, God created all in six days and on the seventh day He rested. We keep the commandment to “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy” (Exodus 20:8). This is why our services are on Saturday.

 

Grafted In

Romans 11 tells us that we have been grafted into the Olive Tree, and as such, we are Judeo-Christians. Just as in Jesus’ time, we open our services with the Shema, declaring Deuteronomy 6:4 — that the Lord our God is One.

We celebrate the seven feasts: Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Firstfruits, the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot/Pentecost), the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah), the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), and the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot).

Some have called these “Jewish feasts,” but in Leviticus 23, God calls them His feasts:

“The feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts.” (Leviticus 23:2)

We have found so much joy in keeping His feasts, for His commandments are not grievous!
