A nossa História
  1. We believe that the Scriptures, Old and New Testament, in its original version, were totally inspired by God and we accept them as the only, supreme and high authority and as faith and life foundation. (2 Timothy 3:14-17; 2 Peter 1:20; Mathew 5:18).
  1. We believe in one only eternal God, existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Distinguishable but indivisible ( Genesis 1:1,2,26 ; Deuteronomy 6:4; Mathew 28:19; Mark 12:29; John 1:1-4,14; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 1:1-3)
  1. We believe that Jesus Christ was generated by the power of the Holy Spirit, given birth by virgin Mary and that He is the true God and true Man ( Isaiah 7:14; Acts 1:9; Romans 8:34)
  1. We believe that God created Man in His own image. But Man committed sin exposing himself to eternal punishment of physical and spiritual death. All human being inherited a sinful nature as a result of a true transgression and a level of personal guilt for those who have moral responsibility. (Genesis 1:27; 3:18; Romans 3:23; 5:12).
  1. We believe that according to the Scriptures, the Lord Jesus died for our sins, giving himself in sacrifice on our behalf, and that everyone who believes in Him is justified by the blood that was shed on the cross. (Acts 10:43; Romans 3:24-26; 10:13; Hebrews 5:9; 7:25).
  1. We believe in the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His ascension to heaven and in His present life as our High Priest and Advocate (Acts 1:9; Ephesians 1:10-25; Hebrews 5:10; 1 John 2:1, 2).
  1. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will return in person ( Zechariah 14:5; Acts 3:20,21; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Jude 14) to a glorious bride (Ephesians 5:27)
  1. We believe that all who repent from sin and receive Jesus Christ by faith in His sufficient and redeeming work, is born again by the Holy Spirit and becomes God’s Son. (Acts 2:28; 3:19; Romans 8:6; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 John 5:1)
  1. We believe in the Holy Spirit baptism (with the evidence of speaking in tongues) as subsequent to salvation (Acts 1:5; 1:5; 2:4; 8:14-17; 10:44-46; 19:1-7) and that it gives the believer the power and preparation to serve God. (Acts 1:8)
  1. We believe that spiritual gifts are to be used today and that they operate just like in the primitive church. (1 Corinthians 12 and 14)
  1. We believe that the water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the only sacraments instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ, to be accomplished as obedience acts and perpetual testimony of the fundamental truths of the Christian faith; that the water baptism consists of the believer’s immersion in water, as public confession of faith and identification with Christ, when being buried and resurrected with Him. (Mathew 28:19; Romans 6:1-6; Colossians 2:12); that the Lord’s Supper represents  sharing of symbols ,  the wounded body and the blood shed by our Saviour, Jesus Christ, in memory of His death sacrifice, until His return. (1 Corinthians 1:23-28)


  2. We believe in resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous, in the eternal venture of those who were redeemed and in the eternal condemnation of those who refused the gift of Salvation. (John 3:16; 5:24, 28, 29; 1 Corinthians 15; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 20:11-15)


  3. We believe that the true church is formed by the assembly of those who were redeemed by Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy Spirit; that the Local Church on Earth should demonstrate its character, so it’s needful that every church member accepts their new birth and make a personal confession of Jesus Christ. (Mathew 28:19, 20; Acts 1:6-8)


  4. We believe in the following ministries that God delegated us:  Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors and Teachers (Ephesians 4:11), for the improvement of the church (Ephesians 4:12)


  5. We believe that it was made provision for the Divine Cure in the Old Testament (Exodus 15:23-26; Psalms 103:1-3, Isaiah 53:4,5) and that the same is integral part of the Gospel (Mathew 8:16,17; Acts 5:16; 1 Peter 2:24)
  1. We believe in Man’s Sanctification. We believe that the Bible teaches that nobody will see God without holiness (Romans 1:7; Hebrew 12:14)


  2. We believe that each Christian has the duty of sharing the Gospel and make disciples of Christ (Mathew 28:18-20; Mark 15:15, 16)


  3. We believe that is requested by the Word of God, that parents train their children in the path that they should walk. (Proverbs 19:27, 22:6)


  4. We believe in the spiritual being’s existence: angels, fallen angels (demons). Angels are ministering spirits serving God and the saints; demons are led by Satan, declared enemy of God and all His creation (Mathew 25:41; Hebrew 1:4-14; Jude 6; Revelation 20:10)


  5. We believe in the existence of hell as a place of punishment for all who reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. (Psalms 9:17; Luke 16:19-31).
