The House of Promise

Our Foundation

We believe Scripture is the final authority for faith and life. Every teaching, ministry, and decision flows from a commitment to faithfully understand and apply the Word in its proper context. Our desire is not merely to accumulate knowledge, but to know God more deeply and to live according to His purposes.

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God and contains one harmonious and sufficiently complete system of doctrine. We believe in the full inspiration of the Word of God. We hold the Word of God to be the only authority in all matters and assert that no doctrine can be true or essential if it does not find a place in this Word.

Supporting Scriptures: 2 Timothy 3:16–17 • Psalm 119:105 • Hebrews 4:12

God

We believe that the God of the Bible is the one and only true God. He is above all other gods, almighty, and eternal . He is the Creator of all things, including mankind. God loves humanity and desires to restore a personal relationship with them. In Scripture, He is also referred to as the Father and as “I AM”.
