We believe on the Bible as originally written were inspired word of God, hence free from error. They constitute the only infallible guide in faith and practice.
We believe there is one God, the Creator and Preserver of all things, infinite in being and perfection. He exists eternally in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Who are of one substance and equal in power and glory.
We believe humankind, was created in the image of God, through disobedience fell from a sinless state. Humankind can be saved only by the grace of God, through faith, on the basis of the work of Christ and by the agency of the Holy Spirit.
We believe as followers of Jesus Christ we need to do the same as Jesus did here on earth meeting both spiritual and physical needs of the people.
