Our main doctrins:

1. The Bible. The Holy Bible, inspired by the Holy Spirit, is the word of God and the only foundation of our faith.
   
   
2. God. There is one eternal God in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is the creator of heaven and earth.
   
   
3. Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and lived a sinless life, teaching and performing miracles. Through His death on the cross, Jesus atoned for the sins of the world, rose from the dead, and ascended to heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father.
   
   
4. Humanity, the Fall, and Salvation. God created humanity in His own image and for fellowship with Himself, but through the Fall, humanity became separated from God. By believing in Jesus, humanity receives righteousness as a gift and is born again as a child of God.
   
   
5. The Work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit spiritually awakens a person so that they can receive God’s prepared salvation, at which point the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within them. Jesus Christ baptizes believers with the Holy Spirit, who distributes spiritual gifts for the building up of the church as in the time of the apostles. Believers are meant to live in the fullness of the Holy Spirit, bearing the fruit of the Spirit.
   
   
6. The Church. The Church is founded and led by Christ, built upon the teaching of the apostles, and is the community of believers. All believers everywhere and at all times belong to one universal church, which is visibly expressed as the local church. Jesus Christ commanded His church to make disciples of all nations, baptizing and teaching them. The church constitutes a spiritual priesthood whose task is to serve the Lord and show Christian love to all people.
   
   
7. Baptism. Baptism, instituted by Jesus, is connected to God’s work of salvation. Baptism is administered to believers according to the command of Jesus Christ, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, by immersion in water. The baptized person is joined to the local church.
   
   
8. The Lord’s Supper. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial and fellowship meal instituted by Jesus for His followers, where He is present through faith. The Lord’s Supper proclaims Jesus’s atoning work and participation in His death and resurrection.
   
   
9. Death and Resurrection. All people will experience bodily resurrection. The righteous will experience resurrection to life, and the ungodly to judgment.
   
   
10. The Second Coming of Jesus and Eternity. Jesus Christ will, according to His promise, gather His church to Himself, after which He will come as king to rule over the whole world. God will create a new heaven and a new earth. This is the eternal destiny of the righteous.
