STATEMENT OF FAITH
The Scriptures
We believe God inspired all the words of the Bible without error in the original writings to give mankind His authoritative message.
The Godhead
We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe in His full deity, His virgin birth, His real humanity, His sinless life, His substitutionary death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His present ministry as High Priest and His future personal return to this earth.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in His full deity. He convicts sinners and saves those who believe in Christ. He indwells, seals and places believers into the body of Christ. He gives spiritual gifts and the power to live the Christian life.
Man
We believe that God created all things as described in Genesis. We believe that the first man, Adam, sinned, bringing spiritual death to all mankind, who, therefore, stand condemned, making the new birth absolutely necessary.
Salvation
We believe that God gives eternal life to those who repent and put their faith in Christ alone, justifying them by the blood of Christ and imputing His righteousness to them.
The Church
We believe in the universal church to which all believers belong. We believe in the importance of the local church which is made up of believers who gather for worship, fellowship and teaching. We believe in the responsibility of the church to fulfil the Great Commission of Christ, preaching the Gospel to all nations.
The Future
We believe in the eternal existence of the soul, the resurrection of the body, the eternal blessedness of believers, and the eternal punishment of unbelievers.
