Our core foundation

First Assembly of God is guided by nine core beliefs forged through years of experience in the ministry.

These principles are the standards by which we measure our progress and ensure that our decisions are correctly aligned with God's Word.

1. A passionate love for God is our top priority

We are thus committed to fulfill Christ’s command to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Our personal devotion to prayer, the study of the Word of God as well as participation in the worship of God with other believers are examples of this love.

Mark 12:29-31, Acts 2:44-47

2. A passionate love for God compels us to love others

We are thus committed to developing Christ-like loving relationships and to keeping the unity of the Spirit by resolving our differences in a way that brings praise to God and leads others to know His infinite love.

Mark 12:31, Lk 6:27-36, Gal 5:19-26, Mt 5:9, Rom 8:28-29, Jas 1:2-4, 1 Cor 10:31-11:1

3. Every person has the right to hear and receive the good news of Jesus Christ

We are thus committed to providing an effective and responsible presentation of the Gospel to everyone at their level of understanding so that they might have the oppurtunity to receive eternal life.

Matt 18:14, Matt 25:45, John 1:39, 2 Peter 3:9

4. All believers are entitled to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit

Therefore, every believer should expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, according to the command of the Lord Jesus Christ. The baptism in the Holy Spirit provides power to be an effective witness and to live a victorious Christian life. We will honor and yield to the person and work of the Holy Spirit in all we do.

Acts 1:4 & 8, 4:8 & 31, 13:9 & 52
