Statement of Beliefs

♥   We believe the whole Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
♥   The Bible is our sole rule of faith and practice. Whatever authority tradition, prophetic revelation, or experience have, they are secondary to and only valuable in as much as they are in agreement with Scripture.
♥   We believe that there is only one God, creator of heaven and earth, who exists eternally as three distinguishable persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, each fully God yet each personally distinct from the other (Mat 28:19; 2Co 13:14).
♥   We believe that all people are created in the image of God and are of intrinsic value to Him.
♥   We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless humanity, in His miracles, in His vicarious sufferings and atoning sacrifice through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His future catching away of His church and personal return to establish His kingdom on earth.
♥   We believe that salvation is a gift of God received through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
♥   We believe in the Holy Spirit who is equal to the Father and the Son, and the current day use of the Charismata (gifts of the Holy  Spirit).
♥   We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the name of the Godhead in order to fulfil the command of the Lord Jesus Christ (Mat 28:19; Acts 2:34-36; 19:1-6).
♥   We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as an important experience available to every believer.
♥   We believe in the healing of the body by God’s power as practised in the early church (Acts 4:30; Rom 8:11; 1Co 12:9; Jam 5:14).
♥   We believe in the Lord’s Table, commonly called communion or the Lord’s Supper, for believers (1Co 11:28-32; Mat 26:26-28).
♥   We believe in the reality and personality of the devil and eternal judgement in the lake of fire for the devil and his angels (Mat 25:41; Rev 20:14, 15).
♥   We believe that there is one true universal church made up of genuine believers and comprising many churches in various localities each exercising autonomous government under the headship of Jesus Christ.
