Base our theology on "Only One God ".


From various doctrines, methods or styles where those parts are considered the best to our knowledge that make sense by reason. God is a single power defined as the One or All, composed of everything it has ever created. This supreme energy force does not rule over the Universe; He is the Universe; He is the Cosmic Christ.


We will greet all Christians no matter in which denomination as long that is in respect of each other..
