We believe in the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures God has revealed in the Old and New Testament, and is inspired Word of God. Infallible rule of faith and conduct, superior to conscience and reason, without contradiction (2 Timothy 3: 15-17; 2 Peter 1:19:21).

We believe in one God manifested in Trinidad God has revealed Himself as One True (Exodus 3:14), in existence from eternity. Furthermore, it has been revealed essentially three personalities (God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit), (Deuteronomy 6: 4; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

We believe that God is the creator of all things He is the creator of all things visible and invisible, material and immaterial things. He created man in His image, male and female he created with free will, moral character and spiritual nature. It also preserves its creation (Genesis 1: 1,26,27; John 1: 1-3; Colossians 1: 15-17).

We believe in the fall and redemption of man Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression fell and his only hope of redemption lies in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Genesis 1: 26-31; 3: 1-19; Romans 3:23; 5 : 12-21; 6:23 ff).

We believe that the salvation of man is through grace Man is saved by faith in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. It is a free gift of God to those who repent and believe. The works are proof of salvation received from Christ. A saved person returning to sin can lose their salvation (Romans 5: 1; Ephesians 2: 8-10; 1 Timothy 4: 15-16; Hebrews 2: 1-4; 12: 12-14; 1 John 3: 4 -9).

We believe in the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit convicts of sin. Produce the new birth, leads the believer's life, empowers for service and enables perseverance in faith and holiness guide (John 16: 7,13; Acts 1: 8; 1 Peter 2: 9).

We believe in fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit Serves to equip the believer in his Christian work. Every believer is provided gifts to edify the church and glorify the Lord. The fruit is proof of salvation and commitment to Christ (1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12, Ephesians 4; Galatians 5: 22s)

We believe in the church The church is the body of Christ, fellowship of the redeemed, un, obedient to the Word of God, disciplined people and a community of love, intercession and healing (Matthew 5: 13-16; 23-24; 18: 15- 18; James 2: 14-17; 5: 13-15, Ephesians 3: 14-15).

We believe in the ministry of evangelization The Lord Jesus Christ gave the church the commission to go into all the world preaching the gospel and making disciples, ministering to every human need (Matthew 28: -18 to 20; Mark 16: 15-18; Ephesians 3: 14ff)

We believe in the ministry of Word It is the will of God you have brothers and sisters who teach the Word. Serve as leaders who administer the ordinances, to guide the church in the exercise of discipline and serve as pastors and teachers (Acts 20:28; Ephesians 4: 11-12; He- Rights 13: 1-3)

We believe in water baptism The sacrament of baptism by immersion, or in some cases, spray, must be observed. The scriptures established for those who repent and believe in the Lord Jesus. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and that have been raised with Him in newness of life (Matthew 28:19; Acts 10: 47-48; Romans 6: 3-11; Hebrews 10:22).

We believe in Christian discipleship It is necessary to acquire maturity according to God's purposes process. The biblical discipline is part of this process, to teach and restore the member, and the body of Christ to accomplish your goal in this world (Matthew 28: 18-20; Ephesians 4:11 ss; 1 Corinthians 5: 7-13; Hebrews 12: 1-11).

We believe in the sanctity of the family The union between a man and a woman, as the core of home. It is an institution created by God and should be strengthened by its members (Genesis 1: 27-28; 2:24; Matthew 19: 3ff, 1 Coritnios 7: 1ff).

We believe that the tithe is the Lord Must be brought into the storehouse (temple) for use in extending the Kingdom of God (Malachi 3: 10-12; 1 Corinthians 9: 6-7; 2 Corinthians 16: 1-3)

We believe in the Lord's Supper The elements of the Lord's Supper are bread and wine. Act that allowed us to do until Jesus returns (Luke 22: 7-20; 1 Corinthians 11)

We believe in nonviolence The will of God for Christians is to refrain from using force and vio- lence in human relations. Must demonstrate Christian love towards all human beings (Matthew 5: 38-48; John 18:36; Romans 5: 5; 12: 18-21; 1 Corinthians 6: 1-8, 2 Corin guys 10: 3-4; James 2: 8; 1 Peter 2: 23-23; 4: 1).

We believe in the return of Christ Christ will come to find her people. We believe that when you die, those who are not saved, enter into eternal punishment. The saved will enter into a conscious and blissful eternal life with Christ. The resurrection of all flesh will come true (Matthew 25:34, 41; Luke 16: 22-23, 2 Corinthians 15: 1-4; Hebrews 9: 12ff; 2 Thessalonians 3: 13ff).
