These Articles of Faith are not an exhaustive list, but they reflect the foundational beliefs that guide this ministry. They are rooted in Scripture, centered on Jesus Christ, strengthened by an ongoing relationship with the Holy Spirit, and shaped by the historic Christian faith expressed through Spirit-filled believers.

These statements are offered with humility, reverence, and conviction. They are not meant to replace Scripture, but to summarize the truths by which this ministry seeks to honor the Father, exalt Jesus Christ, welcome the Holy Spirit, and serve the Body of Christ.

The Triune God

There is one true and living God, eternally existing in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

The Father is God. The Son is God. The Holy Spirit is God. They are distinct in Person, united in nature, perfect in love, and one in glory, majesty, power, and purpose.

God is the Creator of heaven and earth, the Author of life, the source of all truth, and the righteous Judge of all creation.

(Genesis 1:1–2; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1–3; John 10:30; Acts 5:3–4; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

The Holy Bible

The Holy Bible is the inspired, living, active, and authoritative Word of God. It is the infallible standard for truth, doctrine, correction, wisdom, and holy living.

Scripture reveals the heart of the Father, the person and work of Jesus Christ, the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the condition of humanity, the way of salvation, and the eternal purposes of God.

The Word of God is not simply information to be studied, but truth to be believed, obeyed, spoken, and lived.

No prophetic word, spiritual impression, dream, vision, or manifestation should ever be treated as equal to Scripture or allowed to add to, subtract from, or override the written Word of God.

(Proverbs 4:20–22; John 1:1; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Revelation 22:18–19)

Humanity, Sin, and the Need for Redemption

Humanity was created by God in His image and for His glory. Every person has inherent dignity, value, and purpose because every person bears the image of God.

Because of sin, humanity is separated from God and unable to save itself through good works, religious effort, moral performance, or human wisdom. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

The good news of the Gospel is that God, in His love and mercy, sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem, forgive, restore, and reconcile all who repent and believe in Him.

(Genesis 1:26–27; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:1–10; Titus 3:5)

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, the Word made flesh, fully God and fully man. He came into the world to reveal the Father, destroy the works of the devil, take away the sins of the world, and reconcile humanity to God.

He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, was buried, rose again on the third day, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Salvation is found in Him alone. His free gift of eternal life is available to all who repent, confess Him as Lord, and believe that God raised Him from the dead.

(John 1:1–14; John 3:16; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 10:9–10; Colossians 1:15–20; Hebrews 1:1–4)

The Virgin Birth

Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.

His virgin birth reveals both His divine origin and His sinless humanity. He came not by the will of man, but by the power and purpose of God.

(Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18–25; Luke 1:34–35)

Salvation and Sanctification by Grace Through Faith

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works, religious performance, human effort, or personal merit.

Through repentance and faith in the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven, justified, reconciled to God, and made alive in Christ.

Sanctification is both a completed work and an ongoing work of grace. In Christ, we are set apart for God. By the Holy Spirit, we continue to be cleansed, renewed, corrected, strengthened, and conformed to the image of Jesus.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”

(Ephesians 2:8–9; Acts 13:38–39; Romans 5:1; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; John 15:2; John 17:17–19; Ephesians 5:26; Hebrews 13:12; 1 John 1:9)

Good Works as an Expression of Faith

Good works do not earn salvation, but they do reveal a transformed life.

A life surrendered to Jesus Christ should bear the fruit of the Spirit and demonstrate love, humility, obedience, mercy, generosity, and truth.

True faith is not passive. It produces visible fruit that glorifies the Father, serves others, and reflects the character of Christ.

(Matthew 7:15–23; John 13:35; Galatians 5:22–23; 1 Corinthians 13:4–8; James 2:14–26)

The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is fully God, not an impersonal force or influence. He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment; leads people to Jesus Christ; gives new birth; dwells within believers; reveals truth; empowers holy living; distributes spiritual gifts; and glorifies Jesus.

The Holy Spirit comforts, teaches, corrects, strengthens, sanctifies, and leads the children of God. The Christian life is not meant to be lived by human strength, but by the life and power of the Holy Spirit.

(John 3:5–8; John 14:16–17; John 14:26; John 16:7–14; Acts 5:3–4; Romans 8:9–16; Galatians 5:16–25)

Baptism in the Holy Spirit

We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, given to empower believers for witness, prayer, worship, holiness, boldness, and Spirit-led ministry.

The Holy Spirit fills, leads, teaches, comforts, corrects, strengthens, and equips the children of God. He glorifies Jesus, reveals truth, distributes spiritual gifts, and empowers believers to live as faithful witnesses.

Speaking in tongues may be given as a personal prayer language, a sign of the Spirit’s infilling, or as a public message when accompanied by interpretation. All manifestations of the Spirit must honor Jesus, agree with Scripture, and be practiced with love, humility, and order.

The baptism in the Holy Spirit is available to all born-again believers who ask, believe, and receive.

(Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44–46; Acts 19:6; John 14:26; John 16:13–14; 1 Corinthians 12:7–11; 1 Corinthians 14:1–40)

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit

We believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for the Church today.

These gifts are given by the Holy Spirit as He wills, always glorify Jesus, agree with Scripture, and are given for the common good, edification, encouragement, and strengthening of the Body of Christ.

The nine gifts of the Spirit described in 1 Corinthians 12 include:

Revelation Gifts
Word of wisdom, word of knowledge, and discerning of spirits.

Power Gifts
Faith, gifts of healings, and working of miracles.

Speaking Gifts
Prophecy, tongues, and interpretation of tongues.

All spiritual gifts must be exercised in love, humility, discernment, and submission to the Word of God. Prophetic utterances and spiritual manifestations should be tested and judged according to Scripture, the character of Christ, and the witness of the Holy Spirit.

No spiritual gift, prophecy, dream, vision, or manifestation should be used to control, manipulate, contradict Scripture, glorify man, promote confusion, or replace the authority of God’s written Word.

(Mark 16:20; John 14:12; John 15:26; John 16:13; 1 Corinthians 12:1–12; 1 Corinthians 13:1–13; 1 Corinthians 14:1–40; 1 Thessalonians 5:19–21)

Divine Healing

We believe Jesus Christ has the power, authority, compassion, and prerogative to heal anyone at any time through any means consistent with His Word.

Divine healing may come through prayer, the laying on of hands, the gifts of the Spirit, the spoken Word of God, the faith of the believer, the faith of others, or any other means the Lord chooses to use.

We should pray in faith, believe God for healing, and practice wisdom in stewarding the bodies He has entrusted to us. The Bible does not condemn medical care. God may heal supernaturally, and He may also use wisdom, skilled caregivers, and medical means as instruments of His mercy.

Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we are called to care for them with diligence, humility, and faith.

(Acts 3:2–12; Acts 5:15–16; Acts 9:32–43; 1 Corinthians 6:19–20; James 5:14–16)

The Finished Work of Christ

Every blessing we receive from God comes through the finished work of Jesus Christ.

Through His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension, Jesus made the way for salvation, forgiveness, healing, deliverance, restoration, righteousness, sonship, and reconciliation with the Father.

The atonement brings us into union with God through Christ. By His blood, we are redeemed. By His wounds, we are healed. By His resurrection, we are made alive. By His Spirit, we are empowered to walk in newness of life.

(Isaiah 53:4–5; Romans 5:11; 2 Corinthians 5:17–21; Galatians 3:13–14; James 1:16–17; 1 Peter 2:24)

Water Baptism

Water baptism is a public profession of faith in Jesus Christ and an outward expression of an inward work of grace.

It represents identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Through baptism, the believer publicly declares that the old life has been buried and that he or she has been raised to walk in newness of life.

All who repent and confess Jesus Christ as Lord should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

(Matthew 28:19; Mark 1:5; Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16; Romans 6:1–4)

The Lord’s Supper

The Lord’s Supper is a sacred remembrance of the body and blood of Jesus Christ, given for the forgiveness of sins and the establishment of the New Covenant.

When believers partake of the bread and the cup, they remember His sacrifice, proclaim His death, examine their hearts, and honor the finished work of the cross.

Jesus also washed His disciples’ feet as a sacred example of humility, love, cleansing, and servant-hearted leadership. Those who follow Him are called to walk in the same spirit of humble service.

(Matthew 26:26–30; John 6:53–58; John 13:4–17; 1 Corinthians 11:23–29)

The Pursuit of Holiness

God alone is holy, and He calls His people to be holy because they belong to Him.

Holiness is not religious pride, self-righteousness, or outward performance. Holiness is being set apart for God, formed by His presence, purified by His Word, and conformed to the image of Jesus Christ.

Because our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, we are called to honor God in our thoughts, desires, words, bodies, relationships, and daily conduct.

(Leviticus 11:45; Joshua 7:13; Psalm 93:5; Romans 8:29; 1 Corinthians 6:19–20; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:15–16; 2 Peter 1:3–4; Revelation 15:4)

Love God and Love Others

Jesus taught that the greatest commandments are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.

The Christian life is not simply a life of belief, but a life of love. Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.

To be Christlike is to love God, serve others, honor people, forgive freely, speak truth in love, and lay down our lives for the good of others.

(Matthew 20:28; Mark 12:30–31; John 13:34–35; John 15:13; 1 John 4:7–11)

The Mission of the Church

The Church is called to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, baptize believers, teach the Word of God, walk in love, serve the poor, heal the broken, resist evil, and bear witness to Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Great Commandment and the Great Commission belong together. We are called to love God, love people, and make disciples of all nations.

The mission of the Church must flow from intimacy with God. Fruitfulness is meant to grow from abiding in Christ, receiving the Father’s love, and walking in the power and leadership of the Holy Spirit.

(Matthew 22:37–40; Matthew 28:18–20; Mark 16:15–20; Luke 4:18–19; John 15:1–8; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:42–47; James 1:27)

Spiritual Warfare and the Believer’s Authority

We believe the Christian life includes spiritual warfare, but our victory is found in Jesus Christ.

The believer does not fight in human strength, fear, anger, or pride, but through the authority of Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, prayer, faith, righteousness, worship, and love.

Jesus has defeated the works of darkness through His death and resurrection. Believers are called to stand firm, resist the devil, put on the full armor of God, cast down arguments that oppose the knowledge of God, and walk in the victory of Christ.

Our warfare is not against flesh and blood. Therefore, we do not war against people. We resist the powers of darkness while loving people, praying for enemies, walking in humility, and overcoming evil with good.

(Luke 10:19; Romans 12:21; 2 Corinthians 10:3–5; Ephesians 6:10–18; Colossians 2:15; James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8–9; 1 John 3:8)

The Bride of Christ

The Bride of Christ is composed of all born-again believers who belong to Jesus Christ.

The Church is not defined by race, ethnicity, nationality, cultural background, social status, or denominational label. All who are born again through faith in Jesus Christ are members of His Body and are called to unity, purity, love, maturity, and faithful devotion to Him.

Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, and the Church is called to honor Him, proclaim His Gospel, make disciples, and prepare for His return.

(John 3:3–7; 1 Corinthians 12:25–27; 2 Corinthians 11:2; Galatians 3:28–29; Ephesians 4:16; Ephesians 5:23–33; Revelation 19:7–8)

Stewardship

Everything we have belongs to God. We are called to steward our time, talent, treasure, relationships, opportunities, bodies, influence, and spiritual gifts for His glory.

We should honor the Lord with the firstfruits of our increase and give generously, cheerfully, and faithfully. This includes tithing, giving, serving, and supporting the work of the local church and the advancement of God’s Kingdom.

Faithful stewardship is not only financial. It is a way of life that recognizes God as our source, provider, owner, and rewarder.

(Deuteronomy 8:18; Malachi 3:6–12; Luke 12:48; 2 Corinthians 9:6–7; Colossians 3:23; James 1:18)

Marriage and Family

Marriage is a sacred covenant authored by God between one man and one woman.

Biblical marriage reflects covenant love, faithfulness, honor, purity, sacrifice, and the relationship between Christ and His Church.

Families are called to honor the Lord, teach His Word, walk in love, raise children in truth, and reflect the character of Christ in the home.

(Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5; Ephesians 5:31–33; Ephesians 6:1–4; Hebrews 13:4)

The Sanctity of Human Life

Human life is sacred because every person is created in the image of God.

We believe life should be protected, honored, and valued from conception to natural death. Children are a gift from the Lord, and every human being carries God-given dignity, worth, and purpose.

Because of this, we believe Christians should speak with truth, compassion, and courage in defense of the unborn, the vulnerable, the elderly, the disabled, and all whose lives are at risk of being devalued or destroyed.

(Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:5–7; Psalm 127:3–5; Psalm 139:13–16; Isaiah 49:15; Jeremiah 1:5)

The Second Coming of Christ

Jesus Christ will return in power, glory, and righteousness.

He will come again just as He ascended into heaven. He will gather His people, judge the living and the dead, establish His Kingdom in fullness, and make all things new.

No one knows the day or hour of His return except the Father. Therefore, believers are called to watch, pray, remain faithful, keep their lamps burning, and live ready for His appearing.

(Matthew 24:36; Matthew 25:1–13; Matthew 25:32; Acts 1:10–11; Romans 14:11; 1 Corinthians 15:52; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18; Revelation 1:7)

The Resurrection and Final Judgment

We believe in the resurrection of the dead and the final judgment of all people before God.

Those who belong to Jesus Christ will be raised to eternal life with Him. Those who reject Him and die apart from Him will face eternal judgment. God’s judgment is righteous, holy, and true.

The hope of the believer is not only life after death, but resurrection life in the presence of God forever.

(Daniel 12:2; John 5:28–29; Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15:20–23; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Revelation 20:11–15; Revelation 21:1–5)

Eternal Life and Faithful Endurance

Eternal life belongs to those who belong to Jesus Christ, love Him, trust Him, and remain faithful to the end.

Jesus is our Savior, Lord, Shepherd, King, and exceedingly great reward. The hope of eternal life is not only the promise of heaven, but the promise of being with Him forever.

Believers are kept by the power of God through faith, and they are called to remain watchful, humble, obedient, and dependent upon His grace.

Because Scripture warns believers to remain faithful, we are called to work out our salvation with fear and trembling, not in fear of God’s rejection, but in reverent awe, sober obedience, and holy dependence upon His grace.

(Genesis 15:1; Matthew 7:13; Matthew 7:21–23; Matthew 24:13; John 10:27–29; Romans 8:1; 1 Corinthians 10:12; Philippians 2:12–13; 1 Peter 1:5; Jude 24–25; Revelation 2:10)

The Reality of Hell

Hell is real, and eternal judgment is real.

Those who reject Jesus Christ and die apart from Him will be subject to eternal punishment. Those who belong to Christ will share in His glory forever.

This truth should move believers not toward pride or harshness, but toward humility, holy fear, compassion, prayer, evangelism, and urgency in proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

(Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:46; John 5:29; Jude 7)

Closing Confession

These Articles of Faith are confessed with reverence before God and love for His people.

May everything taught, written, prayed, and shared through this ministry honor the Father, exalt Jesus Christ, welcome the Holy Spirit, agree with Scripture, strengthen the Body of Christ, and help prepare believers to stand firm in truth, power, love, and sonship.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
