CLA's Statement of Faith
Our Core Beliefs
Salvation
The doctrine of Salvation forms the core of our Christian faith by proclaiming God’s victory over sin in our lives. God's love and provision for redemption is available to all, who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. This truth results in deliverances, healings and restored lives.
Divine Healing
Wherever Jesus went, He ministered compassionately and healed the sick. His example showed salvation’s interconnection, as many believed after their healing. Christ continues to heal today, so the church must preach, teach, and practice this biblical truth. Scriptures command believers to pray faithfully and trust God.
Our Vision
The doctrine of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit explains the passion and power of our witness. Jesus promised His followers they would receive power from on high so that they would be His witnesses. We believe this truth is just as relevant today as our Fellowship continues to take the gospel message around the globe.
Christ's Return
With the world experiencing natural disasters, economic downturns and increasing uncertainties on many fronts, the doctrine of Christ’s Second Coming is more relevant than ever. Believers must rest in the certainty of the imminent return of our Lord and share this hope with others.
