What We Believe
We believe that the Bible is God's Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our every day lives.
We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.
We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.
We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the 'new birth' we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.
We believe that God intends for us to live holy and fruitful lives as we abide in Christ.
We believe in water baptism by immersion wherein we declare the death of our old life and our resurrected new life in Christ.
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit Who empowers us for service.
We believe in the use of spiritual gifts that He freely gives to His Church as He wills.
We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfil our role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.
We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and prosperous lives in order to help others more effectively.
We believe that our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
Core Values
Upon the battlefields of the world, possession of the high ground is strategic and often, the most important ground to maintain. For certain battles of the past, this high ground was preserved at all costs. The order was given to the men: “This is a hill we will die on.”
As a church, we have sought to define what our core values are and what is truly non-negotiable for us. There are many ways to “to do church”, so methods and styles aside, we seek to establish what is core to our faith and practice. What would we never be willing to do without? What is “a hill” we will seek to maintain at all costs?

The vision of the church worldwide is to win the lost to Christ and make disciples as He commanded. We don't choose the mission, rather ours is to obey the commission. (Matthew 28:18-20)
Therefore, our vision statement is:
We exist to turn non-Christians into totally committed followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.
At Imagine Nations Church we consider bringing the lost to Christ, both home and abroad and helping others to become committed followers – disciples of Jesus Christ, our most important priorities.
