They are the final authority for faith, doctrine, and Christian living (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c0801649009f124a2817eed8ff0d24a2\"><strong>The Trinity<\/strong><br>We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and co-eternal (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jesus Christ<\/strong><br>We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death on the cross, bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory (John 1:1-4; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salvation<\/strong><br>We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. It is a free gift of God, received by repentance and faith, not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:9-10).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Holy Spirit<\/strong><br>We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He regenerates, indwells, empowers, and equips believers for godly living and service (John 16:8-13; Galatians 5:22-23; Acts 1:8).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Church<\/strong><br>We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the Head. The Church is composed of all believers and exists to glorify God, edify believers, and make disciples of all nations (Ephesians 1:22-23; Matthew 28:19-20).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baptism and the Lord\u2019s Supper<\/strong><br>We believe in two ordinances: Baptism by immersion as a public declaration of faith in Christ (Matthew 28:19). The Lord\u2019s Supper, commemorating His death and resurrection (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eternal Destiny<\/strong><br>We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the saved to eternal life and the lost to eternal separation from God in hell (John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:11-15).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Christian Living<\/strong><br>We believe that Christians are called to live holy and blameless lives, demonstrating Christ-like character through love, compassion, and obedience to God\u2019s Word (Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Peter 1:15-16).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Return of Christ<\/strong><br>We believe in the imminent and visible return of Jesus Christ to establish His kingdom. We anticipate the fulfillment of God\u2019s promises to His people and the restoration of all creation (Acts 1:11; Revelation 21:1-4).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c9a42df44031d082428564ec4bcd4cc3\">Ministries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-dc6ce391673a328f5418dc98dcce5d85\"><strong>1. <strong>Christian<\/strong><\/strong> <strong>Theological <strong>Education <\/strong><\/strong><strong>Institute Accreditation<\/strong> <strong>Services <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-be6601f40a68429769f3fcd5291d936a\"><strong>2.
