What We Believe
JESUS CHRIST
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary and is truely God and truly man.
BIBLE
We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, in their original writing, are the fully inspired word of God. We accept them as the final authority for faith, life and the governance of this Church.
GOD
We believe in one God existing eternally as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe that God alone is to be worshipped to the exclusion of all other gods or idols. There is one God and one mediator he gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. (1 Tim 2:5)
MAN, SIN & DEATH
We believe that God created human beings in his own image, that we’ve all sinned and suffered the consquences which is death- physical and spiritual separation from God.
All human beings inherit a sinful nature because we were separated when Adam
all human beings inherit a sinful nature which issues (in the cases of those who reach moral responsibility) in actual transgression involving personal guilt.
FORGIVENESS
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died (in our place) for our sins a substitutionary sacrifice according to the Scriptures and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
NEW LIFE
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus, His ascension into Heaven, and His present life as our High Priest and Advocate.
VICTORIOUS RETURN
We believe in the personal bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
SALVATION
We believe that all who repent of their sin and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, empowering and equipping believers for service, with the accompanying supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit; and in fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
MINISTRY
We believe in the divinely ordained ministries of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher.
FOREVER…
We believe in the resurrection of everyone, the eternal blessedness of the redeemed and the eternal banishment of those who have rejected the offer of salvation.
ELDERS
We believe that elders carry the responsibility for oversight and care of the members. Where necessary pastors must carry out biblical discipline for the protection of the local Church.
CHURCH
We believe that the one true Church is the whole company of those who have been redeemed by Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy Spirit, that the local Church on earth should take its character from this conception of the Church and therefore that the new birth and personal confession of Christ are essentials of Church belonging.
BAPTISM AND COMMUNION
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed two - Baptism in water and the Lord’s Supper - to be observed as acts of obedience and as perpetual witnesses to the cardinal facts of the Christian faith; that Baptism is the immersion of the believer in water as a confession of identification with Christ in burial and resurrection and that the Lord’s Supper is the partaking of the emblems symbolic of the Saviour’s broken body and shed blood, in remembrance of His sacrificial death, ‘till He comes.
HEALING
We believe that divine healing was provided for in the Old Testament and is an integral part of the Gospel.
HOLINESS
We believe the Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord but holiness is obtained bye grace through faith in Christ.
CHRIST-LIKENESS
We believe in the doctrine of sanctification as definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of the new birth and continuing until the consummation of salvation.
REVELATION
The Church is open to any further truth, which the Holy Spirit may illuminate from the Scriptures
