Jesus the Foundation

What We Believe

The core of our beliefs is for all believers to know God and how to walk with Him. Grounded in the truth of God’s Word and open to the work of the Holy Ghost, we believe faith must be lived, experienced and shared wherever we may find ourselves. It is our beliefs that guide us in how we worship, serve, love one another and grow together in our relationship with Jesus Christ.

The Word

Our foundation is based upon the belief that the Bible is the inspired, authoritative and infallible Word of God.

God

We believe there is only One God who created the whole universe and all that is in it, including humanity. He reveals Himself in His Word as Father (as to His relationship with His creation, the birth of Jesus Christ and the adoption of all who might believe in His atoning work). He has also revealed Himself as the Son through the incarnation for our salvation. The revelation of His nature as the indwelling Spirit in every born-again believer gives the power to overcome the flesh, sin, the devil and worldliness in daily living, which paves the way for us to live a life holy and acceptable to Him.

Salvation

We believe that repentance of sins, water baptism by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, and receiving the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking in other tongues (which are all acts of faith) is God’s plan of salvation for mankind. Through these three acts of faith, we identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Gifts of the Spirit

Last but not least, we believe in the manifestation of the gifts of God’s Spirit. God will always make His people a formidable force to confront and defeat all evil forces, whether spiritual or physical. These gifts of the Spirit are given to make the Church victorious in all areas of life.

“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
