The Bible. We believe the Bible as originally
given, to be without error, the fully inspired and infallible
word of God and the supreme and final authority in all
matters of faith and conduct.
The Trinity. We believe that the Godhead exists co-equally
and co-eternally in three person, Father, Son and Holy
Spirit and that these three are one God, sovereign in
creation, providence and redemption.
The Saviour. We believe in the true and proper deity of
our Lord Jesus Christ. In His virgin birth, in his real
and complete humanity, in His sinless life, in His authoritative
teaching, in His substitutionary and atoning sacrifice,
through His blood shed, in His bodily resurrection, in
His ascension to the right hand of the Father and His second
advent to receive His Church.
The Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit
who proceeds from the Father and the Son and the necessity
of His work in conviction of sin, repentance, regeneration
and sanctification and that the believer is also promised
and enduement of power as the gift of Christ through the
baptism in the Holy Spirit with signs following. Through
this enduement the believer is empowered for fuller participation
in the ministry of the Church, its worship, evangelism
and service.
Mankind We believe in the universal sinfulness of all
men since the fall, rendering man subject to God's wrath
and condemnation.
Salvation We believe in the necessity for salvation, in
repentance towards God and faith in the lord Jesus Christ
by which the sinner is pardoned and accepted a righteous
in God's sight. This justification is imputed by the grace
of God because of the atoning work of Christ, is received
by faith alone and is evidenced by the fruit of the Holy
Spirit and a holy life.
The Church. We believe in the spiritual unity and the
priesthood of all believers in Christ and that these comprise
the universal Church, The body of Christ.
The Ministry. We believe in the ministries that Christ
has set in His Church, namely apostles, prophets, evangelists,
pastors and teachers and in the present operation of the
manifold gifts of the Holy Spirit according to the New
Testament.
The Ordinances. We believe in the baptism of believers
in water in obedience to the command of Christ and the
commemoration of Christ's death by the observation of the
Lord's supper until He returns.
The Commission. We believe that the gospel embraces the
needs of the whole man and that the Church is therefore
commissioned to preach the gospel to the world and to fulfill
a ministry of healing and deliverance to the spiritual
to the spiritual and physical needs of mankind.
The Coming King. We believe in the personal, physical
and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to reign in
power and glory.
The Future State. We believe in the resurrection of the
dead and in the final judgment of the world, the eternal
conscious bliss of the righteous and the eternal conscious
punishment of the wicked.
