Statement of Faith

OFOP-picture-4

  • We believe in the one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as revealed in the Holy Bible and made known in Jesus Christ our Lord.
  • We believe that Jesus the divine Son became human, was born of a virgin, ministered in word and miracle, died for our sins, was raised bodily from the dead, ascended to God’s right hand and is coming again for His people.
  • We believe that the Holy Spirit is presently ministering through the Christian Community, empowering lives of godliness and service.
  • We believe that the Holy Bible is completely God-breathed, true in all its teaching, and the final authority for all matters of faith and practice.
  • We believe that Jesus Christ established His Church on earth to carry out His saving mission among all ethnic groups and formed her to be One Holy People.
  • We believe in God’s saving grace that calls forth from all people: faith, repentance, confession, baptism, and new life and ministry through the Spirit.
  • We commit ourselves to the teaching, practice, and defense of these truths until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
