What We Believe

The Heart of the Matter

Salvation by Substitution. Sin’s redemption only through the Blood of Christ. Salvation by Grace through faith, not works. Oil Anointing and prayer for the sick. Water Baptism at a responsible age. Bringing the Gospel to every human creature. Balanced public and private worship. The Tithe as God’s Financial Plan. The Lord’s Supper open for everyone. Constant study of the Bible and prayer without ceasing. Celebrating The Day of the Lord as a privilege and not as a mandate. The resurrection of the dead, both righteous and unrighteous.

About God

He is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father and Holy Spirit. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return again someday to earth to reign as King.
About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer spiritual gifts when they are saved. As Christians we seek to live under His control daily.

About the Bible

The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs about living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without error.
About Salvation
Salvation is God’s free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

We believe that we have been established in Playas del Coco in order to be a doorway of salvation, both for those who have not been reconciled into a relationship with Jesus Christ and for those who have been reconciled but have fallen away.
