It is important for this Church to understand the vision with the purpose of achieving lasting results. God’s ideal is to raise and edify a people of permanence through Christcentered relationships that will project the ideal of God the Father. The vision of God for this Church is identified in the following points:
a) To establish an apostolic and prophetic doctrine in the hearts of the believers (Ephesians 2:19-22; Acts 2:28-43; Hebrews 6:1-2).
b) To Train and mature each believer to carry out the ministry he/she has been called to do. (Ephesians 4:8, 11-16).
c) To minister restoration and strength to our families, especially t our children which are our heritage. (Malachi 4:5-6; Ephesians 5:21-25,32; 6:1-3).

e) To impact every level of society with the Word of God and with acts in such a way that the Great commission is fulfilled. (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:16-20)
f) To establish, strengthen, and financially support new churches worldwide. (2 Corinthians 9:6-15).
The fundamental teachings that God has given us as a local Church are reflected in the following declaration of Faith.
The Bible – We believe that the Bible is totality inspired by God, the Old as well as the New Testament. It contains the complete and eternal revelation of God towards man and
it is the infallible rule of Faith and conduct. (II Timothy 3:15-17; II Peter 1:19-21).
God -The scripture give us a revelation of an eternal God that reveals his Being as God. He is the eternal “I Am”, creator of Heaven and Earth and redeemer of the human race.
a) His Excellence
Since the Bible was inspired by God himself. It does not prove his excellence but simply the declaration of the scripture reads: In the Beginning, God … ” (Gen. 1:1)
b) His attributes
Attributes are someone’s characteristics or qualities. When we talk about God’s attributes, we are talking about his characteristic.
1- God is unchangeable. When we talk of unchangeable, we are talking about the fact that God does not change. (James 1: 17; Malachi 3:6)
2- God is eternal. God has no beginning and no end. He has always existed and will always be. (Gen. 21:33; Hebrews 1:10; Revelation 15:3)
3- God is omniscient. This means that God knows it all. (Proverbs 15:3; Psalms 139:1-9; 1 Corinthians 3:20).
4- God is omnipotent. This talks about an all-powerful God. Nothing is impossible for Him. (Gen.18: 14; Jeremiah 32:17,27; Revelations 15:3).
5- God is omnipresent. God is not limited by time or space. He is everywhere all the time. (Acts 17:27; Romans 10:6-8; Gen.28: 15 -16)
a) The Trinity
The Holy Scriptures is clear in establishing the Trinity of God, a God that manifests Himself in three people. (Gen. 1:1-2; John 1:1-3)
b) Relation and Destination of the three persons. (Holy Trinity)
The scriptures recognize the distinction of the tree person. The Son recognized the Father as different from Him (John 5:32-37). Also, the Bible affirms the participation of the three persons in the creation. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit never appear identical as a person, neither as an individual or Deity. They never appear opposed in cooperation. (Exodus 20: 11; Colossians 1: 16-17; Jobs 33:4; Psalm 104:30)
1- The Father
The Father is God, a distinct person. He is eternal, has self-existence, and is invisible and immortal. He lives in a light that no man can ever look into. (1 Timothy 6:16; 2:5; 1 Corinthians 8:4}
2- The Son
The Son is God, a distinct person, CO-equal with the Father and the Holy Spirit. His personality was made visible by the incarnation. The Son has pre existence. This is, He existed before the world did. (John 8:56-58; 1 Corinthians 15:4 7; Philippians 2:6-7: Colossians 1: 17).
3- The Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is God, a distinct personality. He is not an influence. He is a Divine Person, CO-equal and CO-eternal with the Father and the Son.(Genesis1: 2; Isaiah 63:10; Matthew 10:20; John 14:16-17).
5.3 The Doctrine of Christ. The Scriptures reveal that the Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who always existed with the Father and the Holy Spirit and who took the form of a man through incarnation. The Bible affirms:
a) His birth (Matthew 1 :23; Like 1 :31-35)
b) His sinless life (Acts 7:26; 1 Peter 2:22)
c) His Miracles (Acts 2:22)
d) His substitution work on the cross (1 Corinthians 15:3; 11 Corinthians 15:21)
e) His corporal resurrection from among the dead (Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; 1 Corinthians 15:4)
f) His exaltation to the right hand of the Father (Act 1 :9; Philippians 2:9; Hebrews 1:3).
5.4 The Salvation of Man. The only hope of redemption that man has through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This salvation is received through repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. · A man is saved through the regeneration and renovation of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace, by faith; we become heirs of God. (John 3:3; Romans 10: 13-15; Ephesians 2:8) Christ is the foundation where we find the following doctrine:
a) The doctrine of repentance of dead works is essential for a solid foundation and to achieve spiritual maturity. Salvation is a gift we received from God through grace, but this letter always accompanies the internal change called repentance. Matthew 4: 17) Dead works are the substitute a change from the heart, which deals with his sinful nature. (Ephesians 4:22)
b) Faith in God is total trust in him and in His Word. His Word is what produces faith in us. (Romans 10: 17) When a man experiences true repentance his heart will be ready to believe, trust and totally depend in God in such a way that the person will want to express what they feel inside. The man that cannot produce faith is only a channel of God’s expression here on earth. (Ephesians 2:8) Faith is believing in His Word and it is the way, through which we can reach what God has established for us. (Romans 5: 1-2; Hebrews 11 :6)
c) The doctrine of baptisms speaks to us about the three aspects of baptism: Water Baptism, Baptism in the Holy Spirit, and Baptism in the Word. The First is by immersion and it is clearly established in the scriptures. All who have repented and believe in the Lord should be baptized. In this way, the person tells the world that he has died with Christ and has risen along with him into a new life. (Mark 28: 19; Acts 10:47-48; Romans 6:4) The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a right that every believer has should seek ardently. This was the general expression of the Early Church. With this comes the investiture of power for life and services as well as the endowing of the gifts for the work of the ministry. {Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4,8) Lastly is the Baptism of the Word. The Bible establishes that in it we have life.
As children of God, we are confronted to look at ourselves in the mirror of the Word. This will lead us to renewing of our minds. (11 Corinthians 3:18; Ephesians 4:23; Philippians 3:16).
d) The imposition of hands is another doctrine of the Church. We should keep in mind what Paul said to Timothy about not imposing hands quickly. This doctrine speaks to us about imparting; it denotes and extension. As far as the Church is concerned, it is also used to ordain Elders, to commission Deacons, bring healing. impatition of Spiritual gifts, or to impart blessings.
(1 Timothy 5:17-22; Acts 6:1-6; Mark 16:18; Act 9:17; II Timothy 1 :6; Matthew 19: 15) The Holy Scriptures speaks to us about the rebuking of demands by imposition of hands. Christ spoke of casting out demands by the finger of God. Although He spoke of finger it does not imply the hand. (Luke 4:41; Make 9:25; Luke 11:20)
e) Another doctrine of the church is the Resurrection of the Dead. It speaks of the resurrection of those who slept in Christ and their transferring with those of us who live and remain until the Second Coming of the Lord. This is the hope of the Church. ( 1 Thessalonians 4: 16; Romans 8:23)
f) The Bibles tells us of the eternal judgment or final judgment in which all the dead will arise to be judged according to their works. If there is no resurrection of the dead, there cannot be a judgment for all humanity either. (Revelations 20:11-12; Romans 14:10)
5.5 Holy Communion. We believe in the Lord’s Supper, commonly known as the Communion; it is for all that is part of the Body of Christ. (1 Corinthians 11 :28-32; Matthew 26:26-28).
Ministering. We believe in the operation and manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the different areas:
a) Spiritual Gifts. Their manifestation and operation is real and necessary for the growth of the church. (I Corinthians 12-14).
b) Baptism of the Holy Spirit. We believe in the filling of the Holy Spirit with the subsequent sign of speaking in the healing of the body by the intervention of the divine power, or divine healing. in it’s different aspects, as practiced by the early church. (Acts 2:1-4; 8:17-17; 10:44-46; Galatians 3:14-15).
c) Divine Healing. We believe in the healing, in its different aspects, as practiced by the early Church. (Acts 4:30; Romans 8:11; I Corinthians 12:9; James 5:14)
5.7 Eternal Life. We believe in eternal life for the believers (John 5:24, 3:16} and in the everlasting ·punishment for those who do not believe. (Mark 9:43-48; II Thessalonians 1 :9; Revelation 20:10-15).
The Church. We believe that there is a true universal Church, made up of genuine believers. This universal Church is also made up of many local Churches in different communities. These Churches are under the sovereignty and leadership of the Lord Jesus Christ, exercising and automated government, administering the local and ministerial matters such as the propagation of the Gospel under God’s mandate. (Acts 15:22; Matthew 16:18; 18:15-20)
Government. We believe that God has established every authority for our benefit. To resist the power or authority is to resist God’s ordinance. Therefore, in a volunteering and conscious way, we submit to every form of authority whether legal or ecclesiastic. We declare our loyalty to the government and its leaders, to cooperate in every way possible, as consistent with our faith in the Holy Scriptures and as Christian Citizens.
