What We Believe

Our Statement of Faith

What we believe...

Salvation by Grace

We believe in salvation by grace. This is a free gift from God, given to all who believe in His Son Jesus, the Christ, and accept Him as the Lord of their life.
(Matthew 16:21-26) (John 3:16-19) (John 14:6) (Acts 4:12) (Romans 10:9-13) (Ephesians 2:4-9) (I John 5:9-12)

Deity of Christ

We believe in the deity of our Lord, Christ Jesus. Jesus is God incarnate, and was manifest in human flesh. He was like us in all ways except for one, being free from sin.
(Isaiah 9:6-7) (John 1:1-14) (John 5:22-23) (John 8:54-58) (John 10:30)

Holy Bible is the Inspired Word of God

We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. The Word of God is eternal and unbroken.
(Numbers 23:16-19) (John 1:1-14) (II Timothy 3:15-17)

God exists in Three Persons – The Trinity

We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
(Deuteronomy 6:4-5) (Matthew 28:19-20) (Mark 12:28–31) (I John 5:7)

Virgin Birth of Christ

We believe that our Lord was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary.
(Isaiah 7:14) (Matthew 1:18-23)

Christ Died for Our Sins

We believe in the vicarious atoning death of Jesus, who died on the cross so that we might live – offering Himself up as the perfect sacrifice for sinful man.
(Romans 5:6-10) (I Thessalonians 5:9-10)

Bodily Resurrection and Ascension of Christ

We believe that Christ is the risen saviour. Jesus rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
(Acts 1:8-11) (Romans 8:31-35)

Water Baptism

We believe that all believers should receive water baptism, as a demonstration of our faith, and in obedience to the commandment of our Lord. This act represents a commitment by the believer, and should be accompanied by a renewal and sanctification via the Holy Spirit. Water baptism is an outward symbol of spiritual identification with His death, burial, and resurrection.
(Matthew 28:18-20) (Mark 1:4-11)

Fruits and Gifts of the Holy Spirit

We believe in the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit, for the edification of the body of believers, and enabling the believer to live a life pleasing to God.

Bodily Resurrection of the Saints to Eternal Life

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saints to eternal life.
