What we believeAng aming pinaniniwalaan
The short versionAng maikling bersyon
We're an independent evangelical church. Here is the core of it, in plain words.
Grace firstBiyaya muna
We are saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and not by anything we earn, cook or carry.
Ephesians 2:8–9
The BibleAng Bibliya
Scripture is God's trustworthy word. We read it together in English and Tagalog and let it correct us.
2 Timothy 3:16
Carry each otherMagtulungan
The church is a family that bears one another's burdens, across oceans if it has to.
Galatians 6:2
Every tableBawat hapag
Jesus ate with everyone. So do we, starting with whoever came in the door for the first time.
Luke 15:2
