What we believe
For over four decades, the Universal Church has expressed its faith and belief in the living God. Based on the Holy Bible, it reveals the power that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have to transform and save lives.
After the creation of humankind, God the Father was the first to reveal Himself to man, teaching him how to follow and obey His commandments. These teachings were followed by Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and many other heroes of faith.
Unfortunately, mankind allowed sin to corrupt its ways. As a result, many turned away from the right path and began to follow the desires of their own hearts. But God, in His infinite grace and out of love for humanity, sent His only Son to bring the Law and fulfill the Divine Commandments.
The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was the second to manifest Himself to mankind. When He came to the world, He suffered, was crucified, died, and was buried—but on the third day, He rose again. Through this, He secured salvation and deliverance from suffering for all who believe.
The Holy Spirit—God the Spirit—was the third to be revealed to humanity. His work takes place in the heart. He convicts people of their sins, awakening their conscience and showing them that, although they may have made mistakes, true repentance brings forgiveness from God.
From the beginning, the Holy Trinity has acted with power and wisdom. To this day, God reveals His will through the Bible, written by men divinely inspired, as shown in 2 Timothy 3:16-17:
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
A man or woman who places their life in God’s hands can only fulfill His will after sincerely repenting of their sins. This is expressed through water baptism by immersion, where the sinful nature is symbolically buried, and a new person rises—ready to live according to God’s will on Earth.
The Baptism with the Holy Spirit
​
The baptism with the Spirit of God is an act of grace, carried out by the Lord Jesus Himself in all who seek to be purified and walk in holiness. For this reason, the Universal Church bases its faith and beliefs exclusively on the Word of God—the Holy Bible.
Lord's Supper
​
Among all ceremonies, the Lord’s Supper is the most significant. It is not merely a symbolic act of participating in the body and blood of the Lord, but a moment of spiritual and physical renewal for the Church. It also serves as a time to renew one’s covenant with God.
Tithes and Offerings
​
The Universal Church also believes that tithes and offerings are as sacred as the Word of God. Tithes reflect a person’s faithfulness, and offerings represent their love for the Lord. Everyone who serves God has the right to live an abundant life, as stated by Jesus in John 10:10:
“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Ultimately, we believe that everyone should maintain a permanent relationship with the Lord Jesus through faith—and by doing so, receive the eternal life that He promised to all who endure to the end.
“To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” (Revelation 3:21)
