ABOUT US
WHAT WE BELIEVE
"For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
1 Corinthians 3:11 (KJV)
At Otay Apostolic Church, we believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the foundation for our faith, teaching, and daily living. We are committed to following the teachings of Jesus Christ and sharing His love with our community.
One God
We believe there is one true and living God who has revealed Himself as Father in creation, Son in redemption, and Holy Spirit in His work within believers. We believe that Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh and that salvation is found through Him alone.
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord."
Deuteronomy 6:4 (KJV)
The Bible
We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God. It serves as our guide for faith, doctrine, and Christian living.
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)
Salvation
We believe salvation is available to all people through the grace of God and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. In response to the Gospel, we teach:
-
Faith in Jesus Christ
-
Repentance from sin
-
Water baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ
-
The baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
Acts 2:38 (KJV)
Christian Living
We believe God calls His people to live lives that honor Him through love, holiness, integrity, and obedience to His Word. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, believers are transformed to reflect the character of Christ in their daily lives.
"But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation."
1 Peter 1:15 (KJV)
The Return of Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ will return for His Church. We live with hope and anticipation, seeking to remain faithful until His coming.
"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself."
John 14:3 (KJV)
The Church
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, called to worship God, share the Gospel, disciple believers, and serve others with compassion and truth.
"And upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
Matthew 16:18 (KJV)
Our Mission
Our mission is to love God, love people, and make disciples. We exist to share the hope of Jesus Christ, build strong families, and create a community where people can experience God's presence, grow in their faith, and discover their purpose.
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations..."
Matthew 28:19 (KJV)
