The Bible:

We believe the Bible to be the complete Word of God. That the 66 books of the Old and New Testament were inspired by the Spirit of God and therefore entirely free from error. We believe that the bible is the final authority in matters of faith and practice and the true basis of Christian union. 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:16-21.

​

God:

We believe in one God, Creator of all, Holy, Sovereign, Eternal, existing eternally in three equal persons. The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit.

​

1. The Father – We believe He reigns with providential care over all life and history in the created universe; He hears and answers prayer. He initiated salvation by sending His Son, and He is Father to those who by faith accept His Son as Lord and Saviour. I Chron. 29:11-13; Matt. 7:11; John 1:12; John 3:16; Acts 16:31; 1 John 4:9-10

​

2. The Son – We believe in the absolute and essential deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His eternal existence with the Father in pre-incarnate glory, in His work in creation, in His virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death, and bodily resurrection, and in His triumphant ascension, mediatorial ministry, and personal return. Is. 53; Matt. 1:21-23; John 1:1-14; Acts 1:10-11; 1 Cor. 15:3-8; Col. 1:15-18; Phil. 2:5-11; 10:5-7; 1 John 2:1

​

3. The Holy Spirit – We believe in the absolute and essential deity and person of the Holy Spirit, who convicts of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. Who regenerates, indwells seals, sanctifies, and comforts those who believe in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit baptizes believers into the Body of Christ at conversion and gives gifts as He wills.

​

Satan:

We believe that Satan exists as an evil personality, the originator of sin and the arch-enemy of God and man. He is the head of a host of demons who are his forces of evil, who influence worldwide.

​

Man:

We believe that man was created by God and in His image, and that man sinned and as a result became fallen and guilty before God incurring spiritual and physical eternal death, which is eternal separation from God in hell.

​

Salvation:

We believe that salvation is by grace, therefore undeserved, unmerited and freely given to us by God as a gift. That by God’s will Jesus Christ suffered and died in our place, therefore removing the guilt and shame and satisfying God’s holy anger. We believe that those who turn to God, by believing in the sacrifice of His Son, receive forgiveness of sin and it is by that faith alone that God saves them; that those who believe will be preserved by Him and finally perfected in the image of Christ.

​

Future things:

We believe in the personal, bodily, and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ; in the bodily resurrection of believers and non-believers; in the eternal blessedness of the redeemed and in the judgment and eternal condemnation of sinners in hell.

​

Ordinances:

We believe that there are only two ordinances for the church, regularly observed in the New Testament.

A) Baptism, which is the immersion of the believer in water, whereby he/she obeys Christ’s command and sets forth his identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.

B) The Lord’s Supper, which is done in remembrance of Christ’s death; the believer partakes of the two elements, the bread and wine. The two elements symbolize the Lord’s body (the bread) and His blood shed on our behalf (the wine), proclaiming his death until He comes.
