That one Lord is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. As scripture states, 'Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved' (Acts 4:12). This truth, integral to our church registration in Oklahoma and essential for community support churches, echoes throughout both the Old and New Testaments: 'Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord…' Isaiah 44:6 reminds us, 'Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.' These teachings form the foundation of our salvation preaching, teaching, and singing, fostering spiritual growth in Oklahoma.

The one faith we hold dear is our belief in our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. As stated, 'Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.' (Hebrews 11:1, 6) In Jude 1:3, the writer refers to it as 'the faith' (singular), rather than 'the faiths' (plural). This singular faith is foundational for those who seek salvation through preaching, teaching, and singing within community support churches across Oklahoma, fostering spiritual growth in our community. Additionally, church registration in Oklahoma often emphasizes this essential belief, uniting us in our journey of faith.

All people of God are to be baptized by one baptism into one body of Christ, emphasizing the importance of community support churches in our journey. Water baptism (Acts 2:38) is performed in the matchless name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. This aligns with the teachings of salvation preaching teaching singing, which are vital for spiritual growth in Oklahoma. Therefore, the born-again experience is universal for all. As stated in John 3:5, 'Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.'
