1. Scripture
I believe that the sixty-six books of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, are the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. They were given by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to the saints of old and remain the supreme and final authority for faith, doctrine, and life.
📖 References: 2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Psalm 119:105; Matthew 24:35
2. The Trinity
I believe in one eternal God, existing in three distinct Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—co-equal, co-eternal, and co-existent—Creator and Sustainer of all things visible and invisible. Beside Him there is no other God.
📖 References: Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Genesis 1:1–2; John 1:1–3
3. God the Father
I believe in God the Father Almighty, the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth. He is sovereign over all things, full of grace, mercy, and justice. There is no other god besides Him.
📖 References: Genesis 1:1; Isaiah 45:5–7; Matthew 6:9; Ephesians 4:6; 1 Chronicles 29:11–12
4. God the Son
I believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, without sin. He lived a perfect life, performed miraculous works, and died a substitutionary and atoning death on the cross, shedding His blood for the forgiveness of sins. He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father, where He intercedes for the saints. I believe in His visible, bodily return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead.

5. God the Holy Spirit
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, regenerates the sinner, indwells believers, comforts, sanctifies, empowers, and guides them into all truth according to the Word of God.
📖 References: John 14:16–17, 26; John 16:7–13; Romans 8:9–11; Acts 1:8; Titus 3:5–6; Galatians 5:22–25
6. Humanity
I believe that human beings were created in the image and likeness of God. Through Adam’s disobedience, humanity fell into sin, bringing upon all people both physical and spiritual death—spiritual death being separation from God. Therefore, all are born with a sinful nature and are in need of redemption through Christ.
📖 References: Genesis 1:26–27; Genesis 3:1–24; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Psalm 51:5; Ephesians 2:1–3
7. Salvation and Regeneration
I believe that salvation is by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ—His life, death, and resurrection. A person must be born again by the Holy Spirit to be reconciled to God. Salvation is not inherited by birth into a Christian family, nor attained by good works or association with believers, but received through personal repentance and faith in Christ as Lord and Savior. The evidence of the new birth is a transformed life led by the Spirit.
📖 References: Ephesians 2:8–9; John 3:3–7, 16; Romans 10:9–10; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Titus 3:5; James 2:17–18; Galatians 2:20
8. The Church
I believe in the one, holy, universal (catholic) Church—the body of Christ—composed of all true believers, born of the Spirit and united under Christ as Head. The Church exists to worship God, edify the saints, and proclaim the eternal Gospel of salvation to the world.
📖 References: Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 1:22–23; 1 Corinthians 12:12–13, 27; Acts 2:42–47; Colossians 1:18
9. Resurrection and Final Judgment
I believe in the bodily resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. Those who are in Christ will be raised to eternal life in His glory, while those who reject Him will face eternal separation and judgment.
📖 References: John 5:28–29; Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15:20–24, 51–53; Revelation 20:11–15; Matthew 25:31–46
10. The Sacraments
I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ instituted two ordinances for His Church: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. These are not means of salvation but visible signs of God’s covenant of grace and symbols of participation in Christ’s redemptive work.
I believe in baptism with water as a sign of entrance into the community of faith and identification with Christ. I also believe that the bread and cup of the Lord’s Supper symbolize His body and blood, given for the forgiveness of sins. This ordinance is to be observed reverently and with repentance, in remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice, until He comes again, serving as a means of fellowship and spiritual nourishment.
