SCRIPTURES

We believe that the Bible is the inerrant, inspired Word of God and that it is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice. For reasons of textual reliability, we believe that God has preserved His Word for the English speaking people in the King James Version of the Bible. 2 Timothy 3:16-17, II Peter 1:20-21

SOVEREIGN GOD

God is a Person, eternally existing, as a Trinity in unity – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – three Persons and yet one God. Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, I Corinthians 8:6

THE SON

Jesus Christ, eternally existing, is the only begotten Son of God, who became a sinless man to redeem us. He was born of a virgin and is true God and true man. Luke 1:30-55, John 1:1-15, Philippians 2:5-8

SERVICE

The local church is a group of believers baptized by water, banded together for edification, exhortation, and evangelism as commanded by Christ in the Great Commission; preaching the Gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15, I Corinthians 12:12, Ephesians 1:22-23

SIN

Man was created in the image of God but fell through sin, bringing not only physical death, but also spiritual death or eternal separation from God. Now all of mankind exists as a fallen race with an inherited sinful nature. Genesis 2:16, Genesis 3:16-19, Romans 3:10-23, Romans 6:23

SACRIFICE OF CHRIST

The Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died as a substitution payment for the sins of the whole world. He physically arose from the dead and then ascended into Heaven. Simple faith in this sacrifice is the only way of salvation for mankind. Luke 24, Acts 1:9-11, Romans 5:8-10, I Peter 3:18

END TIMES

Jesus Christ Himself will soon come again in the air to catch up His Church to reward their service. The unbelievers left behind will go through a period called the Tribulation, after which Christ will return to the Earth to set up His Kingdom of one thousand years of righteous rule. After this, the unbelievers of all ages will stand at the Great White Throne to be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire, separated from God forever, while the believers spend eternity in the fullness of joy in Heaven with the Lord. Matthew 24:29-42, I Thessalonians 4:16-18, Revelation 19:11-20:13

Sent out by a local church

Acts 13 - We believe the missionary is called by the Holy Spirit and sent out by the local church. We believe the missions agency helps and supports the sending church and the missionary training them in many professional fields such as legal, taxes, medical, logistics, etc.

To fulfill the Great Commission 

Matthew 28:18-20; 2 Tim. 2:2 - We believe the main objective of the missionary is to fulfill the Great Commission, mainly, but not limited to, through planting churches, training nationals, soul-winning, and discipleship.

Birthing Indigenous Ministries 

Ephesians 4:11-12; Titus 1:5 - We believe the missionary should strive to establish indigenous churches (by indigenous: self-sustaining, self-governing, and self-propagating) or begin indigenous ministries. 

Simultaneously being missions minded 

Acts 1:8; Phil. 4:14-17 - We believe the missionary is to be actively engaged in missions. 

Supporting churches 

Ro. 15:30-31 - We believe the missionary should seek the support of churches for accountability, prayer and sharing the ministry burden, and financial support.
