Our Mission is to preach the good news of abundant life that we can receive in Jesus Christ.

Statement of Faith
(Statement of faith is presented for the sole purpose that we are Christians, not for denominational purposes.)
Deity
We believe in trinity of the God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14; Genesis 1:26, 27.)
A. God the father is sustainer of all things, visible or non-visible, living and non-living things (John 14:28, Genesis.1: 1).
B. The son has co-existed with the father from the beginning. He was the word in the beginning, was born in human flesh, born of the Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit, died for sinner, rose up from the dead and now enthroned in majesty (John 1:1-4, Phil 2:6-8, John 1:18).
C. Holy Spirit is the representative of the father and the Son and is working to fulfill the will and purpose of the father and the son. (Acts 1:4, John 15:16).
Fall of Men and Salvation
All human are created beings, formed in the image and likeness of God but because of Adam’s Sin, Sin came into the world. As it is written, “there is non righteous; not even one.” Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God, came into the world to destroy all the works of Satan. He gave His life and shod His blood to save human being and restore man back to God. Salvation is a free gift of God but only to them who ask for it. (John 1:2, Genesis 1:27, Romans 5:12, 3:10, John 3:16, 3:8, Eph 2:8).
The Holy Scripture
We believe, all 66 books of the canonical Holy Bible are the Holy and inspired word of God. They were written as God’s holy servants were moved by the Holy Spirit of God. We accept whole Bible as God’s complete guidance and in pertaining to the moral Christian dealings and conduct and doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16, 17; 2 Peter 1:21).
Baptisms
A. We believe the Baptism of water is to be by immersion in the water and it is a direct command of our Lord Jesus Christ. Baptism is given in the name of the father Son and the Holy Spirit (Mathew 28:1; Rom 6:4; John 3:23).
B. We believe the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God, as promised by Jesus Christ. Speaking in tongue is one of the evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, but utterance is given by the Holy Spirit Himself (Mathew 3: 11; Mark 16:17; John 14:16-17; Acts 1: 8; 2:38-39).
Healings
Prayer of faithful believers brings physical healings of the human body. Healings comes as part of God’s grace to believers and non-believers as well (James 5:14-17; Mark 16:18; Isaiah 53:4-5).
Great Commission
We believe on great commission of Jesus Christ to go into all the World and preach the gospel to every creature, preaching the gospel of peace to the lost people and good tidings of good news.
Second Coming of Christ
We believe in catching up away of the church when Jesus appears; “the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we, which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the cloud to meet the Lord in the air”. (1 Thessalonians 5; Revelation 3:3).
There shall be great tribulation and, anti-Christ and false prophet shall appear and shall do the wonders from Satan’s power (Revelation 6-19).
Jesus shall physically return to this Earth in glory as King of kings and Lord of lords, together with His saints shall He come and He shall cast out anti-Christ and false prophet into the lake of fire and shall bind the Devil for 1000 years and shall establish His kingdom of peace and righteousness here on Earth. (Revelation 19:16; 20:6).
Everlasting punishment of the Sinner and Eternity of the Saints
Person who dies in his Sin without Christ shall be eternally perish in the lake of fire, and shall no way have the chance to hear the gospel. Sinners shall have their place in the lake of fire with Satan, but Saints shall have their inheritance in new heaven with joy unspeakable and ecstasy in the presence of God. (Hebrew 9:27; Revelation19: 20; 20:15).
