Our Vision
Our vision is to create disciple-making communities, that worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, through loving our Savior, serving our neighbors, teaching our people, and reaching our world.
Our Mission
To witness the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and bring many souls into the kingdom of God.
To shepherd and build up the believers in the faith and facilitate their growth in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
To prepare the church for the glorious second appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Statement of Faith
We believe in the authority of the Holy Bible, as the complete Word of God.
We believe in the Trinity - God's plan of salvation for mankind as planned by God the Father, executed by God the Son by His atoning death on the cross and His resurrection and applied and worked out in the life of the believers by God the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the body of Christ the Universal Church composed of all born-again believers all over the world and the local expression of that body in every place where believers meet together for worship and breaking of bread, fellowship and Bible study and prayer.
We believe in the equality of the believers in the body of Christ being equally precious as they are redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, being equally important and useful as indwelt by the Holy Spirit to contribute to the building up of the church, the spiritual house and God's holy habitation to show forth His fullness, unity , love, wisdom and power.
We believe in the preparation of the Church for the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for which the worship is an important part of that preparation. Therefore we encourage individual worship of believers in spirit and in truth around the Lord's table every Sunday, enabling them to declare the preciousness of the Lord as experienced by them. We warn and encourage believers to take part in the Lord's table worthily to be prepared for the glorious appearing of the Lord. This exercise is important as the church is being sanctified and prepared as the holy bride of Christ.
We believe in the stewardship of the church in preaching the gospel to all peoples regularly so that souls are saved and added to the church, discipled so that the kingdom of God is built. Every opportunity to proclaim the Gospel is taken and every believer is encouraged to participate in the various outreach programs.
We believe in the functioning of local church under the headship and lordship of the Lord Jesus Christ based on the New Testament pattern and functioning according to the principles revealed in the word of God.
