e believe in Triune God!
What does the Bible teach about the Trinity
The triune God or Trinity is the central Christian doctrine that there is one God who exists as three distinct, co-equal, and co-eternal Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—sharing one divine nature. Derived from Latin tri (three) and unus (one), it means “three-in-one,” where each person is fully God, yet they are not three separate gods.
Key Aspects of the Triune God:
One Essence, Three Persons: God is one in substance or essence but exists as three persons (hypostases).
Distinct Roles:
Father: Initiates, creates, and sustains all things.
Son (Jesus Christ) manifested in the flesh as the begotten son of God! accomplishes salvation.
Holy Spirit: The active presence and power of God, applying salvation and drawing people to God.
Relationship: The three persons exist in perfect, eternal communion and relationship with each other.
Not Parts: The Trinity is not one God divided into three parts, but rather, each person is wholly God.
While the term “triune” or “Trinity” does not appear in the Bible, it is considered a revealed truth through scripture, such as at Jesus’ baptism (Matthew 3:16-17)

We believe Sola Gratia Sola Scriptura & Sola fide
the five major pillars of belief are centred on the authority of the Bible and the central role of Jesus Christ. five major things believed in our mission
The Supreme Authority of the Bible (Sola Scriptura)
Free Churches hold that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God. It is considered the final authority for faith and life, shaping all church worship, structure, and doctrine.
The Centrality of Jesus Christ (Solus Christus)
The church is “Jesus-centered,” focusing on the gospel message that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully human, who came to rescue sinners. Salvation is believed to be solely through His substitutionary death and resurrection.
Salvation by Grace Alone (Sola Gratia / Sola Fide)
Free churches teach that salvation is a gift from God, received by faith alone, not through human effort or merit. This often includes a commitment to reformed evangelical doctrines, emphasizing that only the Holy Spirit can bring a person to faith.
The Freedom and Priesthood of Believers
The church is “free” from state, government, or external interference in its theological or operational decisions.
It is a “believers’ church,” meaning membership is based on a personal confession of faith in Jesus, and all members share in the ministry priesthood of all believers.
The Headship of Christ and Local Autonomy
The church believes that Jesus Christ alone is the head of the church.
While often organized under an Evangelical Lutheran system connected through presbyteries or in congregational autonomy, they are self-governing and accountable to Christ rather than a state or bishop.
Devthilina is more than just a charity; it is a heartfelt tribute to a beloved son, Rev. Srilal Karunaratna’s youngest, who passed away unexpectedly in March 2014. His untimely departure left a void, but it also sparked a vision—to turn grief into a force for good, bringing hope and care to children and families in need.
Founded in the aftermath of this personal loss, Devthilina is a beacon of love and compassion, dedicated to improving the lives of children in Sri Lanka. For over a decade, we have been guided by the belief that every child deserves the chance to thrive—physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Thank you to all our generous donors for choosing us and trusting us to deliver your support to the families of Waikala Church. Your kindness has brought comfort during a time when many are struggling deeply. Although the families have already begun cleaning their homes, most of them have no food to cook, and much of what they owned has been damaged, washed away, or completely lost. Some families have even lost their homes entirely.
With your support, we were able to provide dry-ration packets and cleaning items, offering immediate relief and giving them strength to continue.
Your compassion has touched many lives, but our mission is far from over. As soon as we receive more donations, we will continue to do even more for the families who are still in great need.
“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” – Hebrews 13:16
May God richly bless you for your trust, your generosity, and your love for those who are suffering.
