THE REASON WHY WE ARE ALIVE
TO BE HOLY SPIRIT LED
Jesus said, "My Sheep will hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me”. Paul reminds us in Romans 8 that "For all those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are called the sons of God". God's design for all those who call themselves as followers of Christ is that they would walk with the Spirit of God. Our life will bring forth good yields if learn to listen and depend on His voice.
​
Romans 8 : 14, John 10:27
TO EVANGELISE
The GO of the Gospel as mentioned in Matthew 28 reminds us to reach out to every known place and community on the planet to boldly proclaim the truth of God. In Acts 8 we see that the scattered believers went about preaching the word and planting churches in Antioch. Even amidst fierce opposition and terrible losses, they were courageous in preaching the word of God.
​
Matthew 28:19,20, Acts 8:4
TO MAKE DISCIPLES
God is the creator of everything. He is the way, the truth and life. We honour Him for who He is. He created His Kingdom and commissioned His people to make disciples of all Nations. Our words and actions are the God-given tools to proclaim the Gospel.
​
Mark 16:15-18, 2 Corinthians 5:11-20
FELLOWSHIPPING WITH GOD
Paul writes in 2 Corinthians that "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all". The word "Fellowship" (in Greek "Koinonia") means to have communion or to have shared participation. God is the author of fellowship. We are called to be co-labourers with Christ and here is why God is inviting us to have communion with Him. It's through this fellowship that we learn to represent Him in everything we do.

2 Corinthians 13:14
What We Believe
INSPIRED WORD OF GOD
We believe that the Bible (i.e. the Old and New Testaments excluding the Apocrypha), is the inspired Word of God, the infallible, all sufficient rule for faith and practice.
UNITY OF THE ONE TRUE AND LIVING GOD
We believe in the unity of the One True and Living God who is the Eternal, Self-Existent “I AM”, Who has also revealed Himself as One being co-existing in three Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
LIFE OF JESUS
We believe in the Virgin Birth, Sinless Life, Miraculous Ministry, Substitutionary Atoning Death, Bodily Resurrection, Triumphant Ascension and Abiding Intercession of the Lord Jesus Christ and in His personal, visible, bodily return in power and glory as the blessed hope of all believers.
FALL OF MAN
We believe in the fall of man, who was created pure and upright, but fell by voluntary transgression.
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH
We believe in salvation through faith in Christ, who, according to the Scriptures, died for our sins, was buried and was raised from the dead on the third day, and that through His Blood we have Redemption.
NEW BIRTH
This experience is also known as the new birth, and is an instantaneous and complete operation of the Holy Spirit upon initial faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
BAPTISM BY IMMERSION IN WATER
We believe that all who have truly repented and believed in Christ as Lord and Saviour are commanded to be baptised by immersion in water.
BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit as an enduement of the believer with power for service, the essential, biblical evidence of which is the speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of Christ in the Church today.
HOLINESS OF LIFE
We believe in holiness of life and conduct in obedience to the command of God.
DIVINE HEALING
We believe that deliverance from sickness, by Divine Healing is provided for in the Atonement.
BREAKING OF BREAD
We believe that all who have truly repented and believe in Christ as Lord and Saviour should regularly participate in Breaking of Bread.
RESURRECTION OF ALL WHO TRULY BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the everlasting conscious bliss of all who truly believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and the everlasting conscious punishment of all whose names are not written in the Book of Life.
