THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible as originally given, to be without error, the fully inspired and infallible Word of God, and the supreme and final authority in all matters of Faith and Conduct.
THE TRINITY
We believe that the Godhead exists co-equally and co-eternally in three persons. Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that these three are one God, sovereign in creation providence and redemption.
THE SAVIOUR
We believe in the true and proper deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. In His virgin birth. In His real and complete humanity. In His sinless life. In His authoritative teaching. In His substitutionary and atoning sacrifice through His Blood. In His resurrection. In His ascension to the right hand of the Father. In His heavenly intercession and in His second advent to receive His Church
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son. The necessity of His work in the conviction of sin, repentance, regeneration, sanctification, and that the believer is also promised an enduement of power as the gift of Christ through the baptism in the Holy Spirit with signs following. Through this enduement the believer is empowered for fuller participation in the ministry of the church, it's worship, evangelism and service.
MANKIND
We believe in the universal sinfulness of all mankind since the fall, rendering mankind subject to God's wrath and condemnation.
SALVATION
We believe in the necessity for salvation of repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by which the sinner is pardoned and excepted as righteous in God's sight. This justification is imputed by the grace God because of the atoning work of Christ, and is received by faith alone and is evidenced by the fruit of the Spirit and a holy life.
THE CHURCH
We believe in the spiritual unity and the priesthood of all believers in Christ and that these comprise the universal Church, the Body of Christ.
THE MINISTRY
We believe in the ministries that Christ has set in the Church, namely, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, and in the present operation of the manifold Gifts of the Holy Spirit according to the New Testament.
THE ORDINANCES
We believe in the baptism of believers by immersion in water in obedience to the command of Christ and in the commemoration of Christ's death by observance of the Lord's Supper until His return.
THE COMMISSION
We believe that the Gospel embraces the needs of the whole man and that the Church is therefore commissioned to preach the Gospel to the world and to fulfil a ministry of healing and deliverance to the spiritual and physical needs of mankind.
THE COMING KING
We believe in the personal, physical and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to reign in power and glory.
THE FUTURE STATE
We believe in the resurrection of the dead and in the final judgement of the world, the eternal conscious bliss of the righteous and the eternal conscious punishment of the wicked |
