What We Believe

THE BIBLE

We believe that the Holy Bible is the is the verbal, inspired, infallible, eternal Word of God. It is without error in its original script, is the complete revelation of God's will for salvation and Christian living, and is our only authority in all matters of faith and practice.

ONE TRUE GOD

We believe in one living and true God, eternally existing as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each being fully equal to the others and that God is Sovereign Creator, Sustainer and both Judge and Saviour of the universe which includes all humanity.

THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST IS GOD
THE SON

We believe that God Incarnate who was begotten of the Holy Spirit; born of a virgin; sinlessly perfect in life; died as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sin of mankind; was resurrected from death; has ascended to the Father's right hand and is coming again. Salvation (forgiveness of sin and rebirth by the Spirit into God's family) is the unmerited gift of God's grace and is only received by personal faith and trust in The Lord Jesus Christ.

THE BODILY
RESURRECTION
OF OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST

We believe that after "three days and nights" in the grave God raised Him from the dead. He showed himself alive to many witnesses before returning to heaven and is seated at God's right hand where he intercedes for us.

THE PERSON OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe in the person of the Holy Spirit. His work in this world is to glorify Jesus Christ and make human hearts conscious of sin, righteousness and judgement. He enters and indwells believers in all His divine fullness and power, the moment they become born again through faith in The Lord Jesus Christ.

THE ONE TRUE CHURCH,
THE BODY
OF CHRIST

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the head of the church which consists of all true born again believers from every tribe, tongue, people and nation regardless of standing.

LOCAL CHURCHES

We believe that gatherings of believers, engaging in evangelism should meet regularly for worship, teaching, fellowship, and prayer, and that they should observe the ordinances of believer's baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper. These fellowships in local communities are autonomous under the Holy Spirit and are led by elders whose authority is delegated to them by the Lord.

THE PERSONAL
RETURN OF
THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will return, first to take the His church home to himself and then after the great tribulation, to establish His kingdom on earth.

THE REALITY OF HEAVEN AND HELL

We believe that all who have lived on earth will be raised from the dead or changed; either to eternal glory with God or to punishment in eternal hell.

THE REALITY
OF SATAN

We believe satan is a spirit-person who, with supernatural powers, always opposes God and His purposes. Satan leads the human race in sinful rebellion against God and His will, causing separation between God and man. Satan will eventually be destroyed.
