core values
The membership of the church consists of saved individuals who are in the body of Christ. We believe that our members must attend church service regularly as the Scriptures have instructed (Heb, 10:25). True membership depends on one’s acceptance and obedience to the order and office of the church, namely:
Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, etc. We believe that Jesus Christ is coming again for His church namely the born again people. We believe in baptizing in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and that every member must be subject to the Pastor and those who have rule over them.
The Pastor is expected to take further actions against any member not complying with the rules and regulations of the church, in accordance with the Scriptures. We expect our members should endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Eph. 4:3)
