A Statement of our Belief
- We believe in the divine, verbal and plenary inspiration of the
Scriptures in the original languages, their consequent inerrancy and
infallibility, and, as the Word of God, the Supreme and final
authority in faith and life;
- We believe in one God existing in three co-equal and co-eternal
Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
- We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, was
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is true
God and true man;
- We believe that man was created in the image of God, but sinned
through the fall of Adam, thereby incurring not only physical death
but also spiritual death, which is separation from God, and that all
human beings are born with a sinful nature and become sinners in
thought, word and deed;
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died a propitiatory and
expiatory death as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice,
and that all who repent of their sins and believe in Him are
justified before God on the grounds of His shed blood;
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, in
His ascension into Heaven, and in His exaltation at the right hand
of God, where He intercedes for us as our High Priest and Advocate;
- We believe in the personal, visible return of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus to judge this world and bring peace to the nations.
- We believe that salvation is by grace through faith, not by works,
and that all who repent and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their
personal Saviour are born again by the Holy Spirit and thereby
become the sons of God;
- We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the
Lord Jesus Christ and to convict and regenerate the sinner, indwell,
guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and
service;
- We believe that Christ instituted the Sacrament of Baptism and the
Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, which sacraments shall be observed
by His Church till He comes
- We believe in the eternal security, bodily resurrection, and
eternal blessedness of the saved and in the bodily resurrection and
eternal conscious punishment of the lost.
