Read Pastor Banza Mukalay's complete faith statement document outlining the core doctrinal beliefs of Restoration Community Church.
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God and the final authority for faith, doctrine, and Christian living. (2 Timothy 3:16–17, Psalm 119:105, Hebrews 4:12)
We believe in one eternal God revealed in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and co-eternal. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14)
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human. He was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, rose again on the third day, ascended to heaven, and will return again. (John 1:1–14, Isaiah 53, 1 Corinthians 15:3–4)
We believe the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, regenerates believers, dwells within them, and empowers them to live holy lives and serve God. He is the third person of the Trinity who indwells believers, empowers them for service, and guides them into all truth. (John 14:16–17, 26, Acts 1:8, Romans 8:26–27, Galatians 5:22–23)
We believe the Church and every believer can be filled with the Holy Spirit. The filling of the Holy Spirit empowers the Church for holy living, spiritual gifts, bold witness, and effective ministry. (Acts 1:8, Acts 2:4, Ephesians 5:18, 1 Corinthians 12:4–11)
Human beings were created in the image of God but fell into sin. Because of sin, humanity is separated from God and needs redemption through Jesus Christ. (Genesis 1:27, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23)
Salvation is a gift of God received through faith in Jesus Christ. It includes justification, regeneration, sanctification, and eternal life. (Ephesians 2:8–9, Romans 10:9–10, Titus 3:5)
We believe in water baptism by full immersion for believers who have confessed faith in Jesus Christ. Baptism symbolizes the believer's identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:3–4, Acts 2:38)
We believe in the celebration of the Lord's Supper as a remembrance of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Believers partake of the bread and the cup in remembrance of His body and blood until He returns. (Luke 22:19–20, 1 Corinthians 11:23–26)
We believe the Church is the body of Christ composed of believers who gather for worship, teaching, fellowship, and mission to the world. (Matthew 28:19–20, Acts 2:42, Ephesians 4:11–13)
We believe Christ established leadership gifts in the church: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip the saints and build the body of Christ. (Ephesians 4:11–13)
We believe marriage is ordained by God as a covenant between one man and one woman. The family is the foundational unit of society and should be nurtured according to biblical principles. (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4–6, Ephesians 5:22–33)
We believe Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly in glory. At His return, the dead will be raised and Christ will establish His kingdom. (Acts 1:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17, Revelation 22:12)
We believe there will be a resurrection of both the saved and the lost. Those who have trusted in Christ will receive eternal life, and those who reject Him will face eternal judgment. (John 5:28–29, Revelation 20:11–15)
