"Knowing Christ & Making Him Known"

WHAT WE BELIEVE

The Church of Acts International

Statement of Faith with Scripture References

God...

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.

Genesis 1:1,26,27; 3:22 | Psalm 90:2 | Matthew 28:19 | 1 Peter 1:2 | 2 Corinthians 13:14

About Man...

Man is made in the spiritual image of God, to be like him in character. He is the supreme object of God’s creation. Although man has tremendous potential for good, he is marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin." This attitude separates man from God.

Genesis 1:27 | Psalm 8:3-6 | Isaiah 53:6a | Romans 3:23 | Isaiah 59:1,2

About Eternity...

Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with him is eternal life. Heaven and hell are places of eternal existence.

John 3:16 | John 2:25 | Romans 6:23 | Revelation 20:15 | 1 John 5:11-13 | Matthew 25:31-46

About Jesus Christ...

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men 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’s glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

Matthew 1:22,23 | Isaiah 9:6 | John 1:1-5, 14:10-30 | Hebrews 4:14,15 | 1 Corinthians 15:3,4 | Romans 1:3,4 | Acts 1:9-11 | 1 Timothy 6:14,15 | Titus 2:13

About Salvation...

Salvation is a gift from God to man. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

Romans 6:23 | Ephesians 2:8,9 | John 14:6, 1:12 | Titus 3:5 | Galatians 3:26 | Romans 5:1

About Eternal Security...

Because God gives man eternal life through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in salvation for eternity. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives this security.

John 10:29 | 2 Timothy 1:12 | Hebrews 7:25; 10:10,14 | 1 Peter 1:3-5

About The Holy Spirit...

The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as 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. The Christian seeks to live under his control daily.

2 Corinthians 3:17 | John 16:7-13, 14:16,17 | Acts 1:8 | 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16 | Ephesians 1:13 | Galatians 5:25 | Ephesians 5:1

About The Bible...

The Bible is God’s Word to all mankind. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.
Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.

2 Timothy 3:16 | 2 Peter 1:20,21 | 2 Timothy 1:13 | Psalm 119:105,160, 12:6 | Proverbs 30:5

Why We Exist as a Church...

We exist to Glorify God 

• Worship — celebrate God's presence Psalm 68:3; Psalm 34:3;  Psalm 122:2

• Evangelism — communicate God's gospel through evangelism and witness Acts 1:8

• Fellowship — to communicate God's Family through Fellowship Ephesians 2:19

• Discipleship — to educate God's people through Discipleship Ephesians 4:13

• Ministry — We demonstrate God's love through ministry Ephesians 4:12

Baptism and the Lord’s Supper...

We believe Jesus Christ established baptism and the Lord’s Supper for His Church.
Baptism is a public expression of repentance and faith, symbolizing new life in Christ.
The Lord’s Supper is a sacred remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice and a declaration of hope in His return.

Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3–4; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26

About Marriage...

Marriage and sexual intimacy are wonderful gifts from God to be stewarded for his glory. God’s design for marriage is to be between one man and one woman for life. Biblical marriage requires that both people have biological differences from birth as male and female. Any sexual relationship or activity outside of biblical, covenanted marriage is sinful, and is not blessed by God. While marriage is a gift from God, we also believe that singleness can be a gift from God and can be God’s call on a person’s life.

Genesis 2:23–24 | Leviticus 18:22 | Matthew 15:19–20 | Matthew 19:5–6 | Romans 1:26–27 | 1 Corinthians 6:18 | 1 Corinthians 7:7–9 | 1 Timothy 1:9–10 | Hebrews 13:4

Our mission is knowing Christ and Making Him Known

Founder, Hope For Life Orphanage

Pastor David serves as the Pastor for East Africa for TCOAI, Pastor David Muchungu studied at the University of Nairobi and holds a Diploma in Christian Leadership from Jesse Bible Seminary, as well as a Certificate in Practical Theology from Destiny School of Ministry and Faith Alive Bible College. He and his wife, Teaching Pastor Mariam Muchungu, provides leadership, oversight, and support to a growing network of pastors. Through their leadership, churches are being strengthened, new believers are being discipled, and new church fellowships are being planted in underserved communities.

In many of these areas, pastors faithfully serve without salaries, reliable transportation, or basic ministry resources. Yet they continue to shepherd their communities, preach the Gospel, and raise up new leaders with dedication and faith.

This work is not just about meeting needs—it is about building a strong, biblical church. As local believers grow in their faith, they are learning to support one another, live out the Gospel, and carry the message of Jesus into their own communities.

Together, we are seeing a movement take shape—one that reflects the early church in Acts, where faith is active, communities are transformed, and the Gospel continues to spread.
