Our Statement of Faith


We believe...


God

We believe that there is only one God who is the creator of all things and who eternally co-exists in three Persons as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, each with distinct personalities but of one divine essence, forming the Holy Trinity.

God the Father

We believe in God the Father who together with the Son and the Holy Spirit created the universe and the earth and made man in His own image and after His own likeness.

God the Son

We believe in Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God who is sinless and fully God and fully man who gave His life as an atoning sacrifice for all humanity.

God the Holy Spirit

We believe in the Holy Spirit who is the divine agent of regeneration, sanctification and glorification and who indwells and empowers the believer in Christ for effective ministry.

The gifts of the Holy Spirit

We believe in the spiritual gifts bestowed by God for the proper function of the church.

The all sufficiency and authority of Holy Scripture

We believe that the Bible in totality and originally given is the inspired Word of God, infallible and all sufficient for the foundation and rule and practice of the Christian faith.

Man

We believe that man was created male and female in the image of God and did not evolve from any pre-existing life forms.

Original sin

We believe in the creation of man in his innocence but fell in sin and as a result human nature is corrupted through Adam.

The atonement

We believe in the suffering and death of Christ on the Cross as a vicarious substitute for all sinners and His resurrection from the dead as victor over sin.

Justification by faith

We believe that a person is justified (accounted righteous) by faith alone on account of the person's repentance from sin and believing in Christ.

Sanctification

We believe that the Holy Spirit sanctifies the believer, transforming the person to live a life of holiness and godliness.

The church

We believe that the Christian church is the Body of Christ who is the Head and comprises all those who have trusted in Christ by faith.

The Sacraments

We believe that the believer's water baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper are sacraments instituted by the Lord.

Marriage and the Family

We believe that it is God's plan for human sexuality to be expressed in a monogamous relationship between a man and a woman within the covenant of marriage.

The future state

We believe in the certainty of Christ's imminent personal and visible return to judge the living and the dead and to assign Heaven as the abode for the righteous and eternal damnation in Hell for all those who reject salvation through Christ.
