01

The Purpose of God

We believe in one eternal God, who created and rules over everything. He is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and He guides all things according to His will. God has been calling people from the world to be His own and sends them back to serve and witness for Him, to expand His kingdom, strengthen the church, and bring glory to His name.
We admit that we have often failed in this mission, either by becoming too much like the world or by separating ourselves from it. However, we are thankful that the gospel remains valuable, even when carried by imperfect people. With the Holy Spirit's power, we want to commit ourselves again to sharing this treasure.

02

The Authority and Power of the Bible

We believe that the Old and New Testaments are fully inspired by God, completely true, and have ultimate authority. They are the only written word of God, without any errors, and are the perfect guide for faith and living. We also believe in the power of God's word to bring salvation. The Bible's message is for everyone, and God's truth in Christ and Scripture never changes. Through the Bible, the Holy Spirit still speaks to us today, helping people in every culture understand its truth in new ways, revealing more of God's wisdom to the whole Church.

03

The Uniqueness and Universality of Christ

We believe there is only one Savior, Jesus Christ, and only one true gospel, though there are many ways to share it. While everyone can know something about God through nature, this knowledge is not enough to save them, because people turn away from the truth. We reject the idea that all religions are equal or that Christ speaks through all beliefs. Jesus, as the only God-Man who gave His life for sinners, is the only mediator between God and humanity. There is no other name through which we can be saved.
Everyone is lost because of sin, but God loves all people and wants everyone to repent and be saved. However, those who reject Christ choose to separate themselves from God forever. Proclaiming Jesus as the Savior of the world doesn’t mean that everyone will automatically be saved or that all religions lead to salvation. Instead, it means we declare God’s love for a world full of sinners and invite all to turn to Jesus as their Savior and Lord, through repentance and faith. Jesus has been given the highest honor, and we look forward to the day when all will acknowledge Him as Lord.
