Beliefs

God: The Fellowship Church believes that God is the creator and the ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities
- The Father
- The SonÂ
- The Holy Spirit
Man: Man is made in the spiritual image of God to be like Him in character. Man is the supreme object of God’s creature.Â
The Eternity: Man is created to exist forever. Also, he will either be separated from God by Sin or be in union with God through forgiveness and salvation.Â
Jesus Christ. They believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. He is co-equal with the father. He lived a sinless life and had died on the cross. They also believe that he rose from the dead after three days. He ascended into heaven and will return to reign as king.Â
Salvation: Salvation is God’s gift to man. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works but only through salvation.Â
The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is equal to the father and the son of God. They believe that he is present in the world to make man aware of the need for Jesus Christ and that he lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation.Â
The Bible: The Bible is God’s word to man and was written by human authors under the guidance of the holy spirit.Â
