Statement of Faith
1. We believe there is one GOD, the Creator of all things
GOD alone is eternal, uncreated, and sovereign over all existence—heaven, earth, and every realm seen and unseen.
Primary Scriptures

- Isaiah 45:5–7 — “I am the LORD, and there is none else”

- Jeremiah 10:10–12 — The living God made the earth by His power
2. We fear GOD alone and have no other gods before Him
We uphold the First Commandment: no being—human, angelic, or heavenly—may be worshiped as GOD.
Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, but not GOD Himself, for GOD cannot die.
Primary Scripture
- Exodus 20:3 — “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me”
- Deuteronomy 5:7 — Reaffirmation of the First Commandment
- Numbers 23:19 — “God is not a man”

3. We believe Jesus the Messiah died, rose, and now sits at the right hand of GOD
Jesus was crucified In the year of our Lord Friday April 3, 33 AD under Roman authority, died, was buried, and rose on the third day -- Sunday April 5, 33 AD.
He is our Savior, Salvation and High Priest ascended to The Kingdom of Heaven to sit at the right hand of GOD, FOREVER. Amen

Thus, the name of Jesus expresses the mission GOD gave Him.

5. We believe the words of Jesus are the highest authority in the New Testament
We prioritize the direct teachings of Jesus recorded by eyewitnesses (Matthew, John) and early Jewish followers (Mark).
We treat Luke, Acts, and Paul as secondary historical witnesses, valuable but not doctrinally primary.
Primary Scripture
- John 12:49–50 — Jesus speaks only what the Father commands
- John 7:16 — “My doctrine is not mine, but His that sent me”

6. We reject doctrines built on later traditions or political developments
We seek the earliest, most authentic sources and avoid doctrines shaped by later councils, creeds, or political agendas.
