THE BIBLE
- We believe the
Bible is 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.
