We believe..........: - that the bible is the sole and final authority for all matters of faith and conduct.
- in the eternal God-head who has revealed Himself as one God existing in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Distinguishable un indivisable.
- that the Lord Jesus, the saviour of man, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, is true God and true man.
- that Jesus died for our sins, battled with satan, overcame satan and rose again on the third day.
- in the bodily ascension of Jesus into Heaven, His exaltation and in the personal, literal and bodily return of Jesus to rapture His Church.
- in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary, by which we obtain remission of sins.
- in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the name of the eternal God-head, in order to fulfill the command of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a real experience ator subsequent to salvation.
- in the operation of the Gifts of the Spirit.
- in the Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper for believers.
- in the reality and personality of satan and the eternal judgement in the lake of fire for satan and his angels and their eternal condemnation to the lake of fire.
- in eternal life for believers and eternal punishment for unbelievers.
- that there is ONE universal church, made up of genuine believers, composed of many local churches all under the sovereign Headship of the Lord Jesus Christ..
- We believe that God created humanity in His own image, as man and woman to be equals in their own unique functions, to live in spiritual purity. We therefore believe that a marriage can only exist between one man and one woman. Those individuals who for whatever reason find it impossible to function in the sacred institution of marriage, will not be discriminated against in their function as members of the church and in holding any office in the church, provided that they submit to the authority of the Bible for all matters of faith and conduct.
