Our Statement of Faith

WE BELIEVE in the divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God – fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.

WE BELIEVE in one God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE in the dignity of all people, made male and female in God’s image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgment. As a consequence, man is lost, unable to save himself from the wrath of God, and needs to be saved.

WE BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, sinless and perfect, the only Saviour. We believe in the atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God. We believe that he rose from the dead, ascended to heaven, and is now at the right hand of God, mediating for us. We believe in the personal and physical return of Christ in power and glory.

WE BELIEVE that salvation is a gift of God, sovereignly offered by grace to those who repent and place their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; and that all who truly believe in him are eternally saved on the basis of his shed blood.

WE BELIEVE in God the Holy Spirit who indwells all believers to convict, enlighten, sanctify, empower, and guide them in life and service.

WE BELIEVE that the true Church, both local and universal, is composed of persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ, of which he is head.

WE BELIEVE in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto eternal life with God, and they that are lost unto eternal punishment separated from God.

WE BELIEVE that Christ commanded the church to make disciples of all peoples, by going into all the world, baptising people in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that Christ commanded.
