We believe in:

  1. The unity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and the eternal Sovereignty of God in creation and providence.
  2. The divine inspiration and infallibility of the Holy Scriptures as originally given, and their sole authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
  3. The virgin birth of God the Son our Lord Jesus Christ, His perfect life, His atoning death, His bodily resurrection and His ascension into Heaven.
  4. The universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature in consequence of The Fall, rendering man subject to God's wrath and condemnation.
  5. Redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin, only through the sacrificial and substitutionary death of our Lord Jesus Christ. "One sacrifice for sins forever." Hebrews 10:12
  6. The justification of the believer by faith in the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ
  7. The work of the Holy Spirit to regenerate and indwell the believer, to interpret the Holy Scriptures, and to guide the church in its worship and ministry.
  8. The personal return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  9. The resurrection of the body and the judgment of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, and the eternal blessedness of the righteous and the eternal punishment of unbelievers.

The Church is:

The worldwide fellowship of those who have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. "You have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation." Revelation 5: 9. There are groups of believers meeting together throughout the world, and each group constitutes a local church, part of the worldwide Church.
