The Bible
We believe the Old and New Testaments are the inspired and infallible Word of God, the final authority for faith, doctrine and daily life.
What we believe
Our Statement of Faith
At Berakah, we hold to the following Statement of Faith, which sums up our core beliefs as a born-again church.
The Trinity
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Each is fully God, distinct in role and relationship.
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human. Born of a virgin, He lived without sin, died on the cross for our sins, rose again and ascended to heaven. He is the only Mediator between God and humanity.
Salvation
We believe salvation is a free gift of God's grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ. Through repentance and faith in His sacrifice we are made right with God and become new creations. It is not earned by works, but by God's unmerited favour.
Baptism in the Holy Spirit
We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit as an experience following salvation, evidenced by speaking in tongues, empowering believers for service, witness and spiritual gifts.
Spiritual Gifts
We believe the gifts of the Spirit described in the New Testament, including prophecy, healing, miracles, tongues and interpretation, are active today for building up the church and advancing God's kingdom.
Divine Healing
We believe in divine healing through the finished work of Christ. We pray for the sick and trust God's power to heal body, mind and spirit, while also seeking medical care as necessary.
The Second Coming
We eagerly await the personal, visible and glorious return of Jesus Christ, which will complete God's plan of redemption, bring the resurrection of the dead, final judgment and His eternal kingdom.
Kingdom Living
We are called to live out the values of God's kingdom (love, mercy, justice, compassion and forgiveness) in our lives, families and communities, pursuing holiness and unity in the Body of Christ.
