Ketujuh pilar ini membentuk cara kita menyampaikan Injil, cara kita hidup di tengah-tengah orang-orang yang kita layani, dan bagaimana kita tetap setia kepada Kristus dalam setiap konteks.
Prayer is the foundation of all evangelistic efforts. It acknowledges our dependence on God and invites Him to work supernaturally in the lives of those we’re trying to reach. We pray for softened hearts, open doors, and boldness to speak the truth.
Effective evangelism requires knowing the Gospel message intimately. We must be able to articulate the core truths of Christianity clearly and defend them with Scripture. Sound doctrine provides a solid foundation for evangelistic efforts.
Our actions speak louder than words. A genuine Christian life is a powerful witness to the transformative power of the Gospel. Hypocrisy undermines our message.
People are more likely to listen to someone they trust and respect. Building relationships creates opportunities to share the Gospel naturally and authentically.
Sharing the Gospel requires courage. We must be willing to overcome our fears and trust that God will give us the words to say.
The Gospel is universal, but its presentation should be tailored to the specific cultural context. We must be aware of cultural barriers and find ways to overcome them.
We cannot change hearts on our own. We must depend on the Holy Spirit to work in the lives of those we’re trying to reach.
The Gospel is not merely something we affirm. It is something we faithfully carry.
Our plan for soul winning is to faithfully preach and personally share the Gospel, beginning with prayer and relying on the power of the Holy Spirit. We will use Scripture to show man’s sin, Christ’s finished work, and the need for repentance and faith. Through personal witnessing, children’s ministry, orphanage ministry, church outreach, and discipleship, our goal is to see people saved, baptized, discipled, and connected to a Bible-believing local church. We also plan to train local believers to become faithful witnesses, so the work continues through the church and not just through us.
These statements summarize the convictions that guide our faith, family, ministry, church partnership, and mission work.
We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, preserved Word of God. It is the final authority for faith, doctrine, conduct, ministry, and daily living. No tradition, opinion, experience, or human authority stands above the written Word of God.
We believe there is one true and living God, Creator of heaven and earth, eternally existing in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These three are one God, equal in nature, power, glory, and perfection.
We believe God the Father reigns with sovereign authority over all creation. He is holy, righteous, loving, merciful, and just. He hears and answers prayer, receives worship, and works all things according to His perfect will.
We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man. He was conceived of the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as our substitute, shed His blood for our sins, physically rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will return again.
We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God and is equal with the Father and the Son. He convicts the world of sin, regenerates the repentant sinner, indwells every believer at salvation, seals the believer, empowers Christian living, and gives gifts for service according to His will.
We believe God created the heavens and the earth by His spoken Word. Mankind was created directly by God in His image and did not come about by accident or evolution. Creation exists for the glory of God.
We believe every human being is created in the image of God and has eternal value. Human life is sacred from conception, and every person is accountable to God. Man was created to know, worship, love, and obey the Lord.
We believe sin entered the world through Adam, and all mankind inherited a sinful nature. Every person has sinned against God and is separated from Him apart from salvation through Jesus Christ. Sin brings guilt, death, judgment, and eternal condemnation.
We believe salvation is wholly by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. It is not earned by works, religion, baptism, church membership, good deeds, or personal merit. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
We believe Jesus Christ died as the sinner's substitute, shedding His blood to pay the full penalty for sin. His death was sufficient, final, and accepted by God. Through His sacrifice alone, sinners may be forgiven, justified, reconciled, and redeemed.
We believe those who are truly saved are kept by the power of God and are secure in Christ forever. Salvation rests in the finished work of Jesus Christ, not in human effort. The truly saved believer is called to walk in obedience, holiness, and continued faithfulness to the Lord.
We believe every believer is called to grow in grace and become more like Jesus Christ. The Christian life should be marked by obedience, holiness, humility, love, prayer, faithfulness, and separation from sin. This growth comes through the Word of God, the work of the Holy Spirit, and daily surrender to the Lord.
We believe the local church is a visible assembly of baptized believers, gathered under the authority of Jesus Christ and the Word of God. The church exists to worship God, preach the Scriptures, make disciples, practice the ordinances, serve one another, send missionaries, and carry the Gospel to the world.
We believe each local church is self-governing under the headship of Jesus Christ. No denomination, board, hierarchy, government, or outside authority has the right to control the doctrine, ordinances, membership, discipline, leadership, or ministry of the local church.
We believe the two biblical offices of the local church are pastor and deacon. Pastors are called to shepherd, preach, teach, lead, and oversee the flock. Deacons are called to serve the church according to the qualifications and pattern given in Scripture.
We believe baptism is an act of obedience for believers only. It is performed by immersion and pictures the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Baptism does not save, but it publicly identifies the believer with Christ and is properly connected to the authority and fellowship of the local church.
We believe the Lord's Supper is an ordinance of the local church, given to believers as a memorial of Christ's death. It is a time to remember His sacrifice, proclaim His death, examine ourselves, and look forward to His return.
We believe Jesus Christ commanded His church to make disciples of all nations through evangelism, baptism, teaching, and church planting. Missions is not merely a program of the church; it is obedience to the command of Christ.
We believe every believer has direct access to God through Jesus Christ, our only Mediator. Every person is personally responsible before God to repent, believe the Gospel, obey the Scriptures, and answer to the Lord according to conscience under the authority of His Word.
We believe Christians are called to live holy lives, separated from worldliness, sinful practices, and false doctrine. We also believe the church should remain distinct from government control, with Christ alone as its Head.
We believe God designed the family as the first institution of human society. Marriage is the covenant union of one man and one woman, and parents are responsible to raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
We believe everything we possess belongs to God and must be managed faithfully for His glory. Believers are called to give generously, serve sacrificially, and use their time, abilities, and resources to advance the Gospel, strengthen the church, and care for others.
We believe there will be a future physical resurrection of the dead. Those who have trusted Christ will be raised to eternal life with the Lord, while those who reject Christ will be raised to eternal judgment and punishment.
We believe Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return. His return is the blessed hope of the believer and should motivate the church to holiness, faithfulness, watchfulness, and urgent Gospel witness.
