Statement of FaithThe Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the divinely inspired and infallible Word of God, as originally given, and are consequently entirely trustworthy and are of supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
God The Father is the Creator of heaven and earth and the Sustainer of all things. There is but one God, infinite, eternal, and perfect in holiness, truth and love.
The Trinity consists of the Father; the Son, Jesus Christ; and the Holy Spirit. They are coexistent, co-eternal and co-equal.
God The Son, Jesus was supernaturally conceived by the Holy Spirit born of the virgin Mary, and was without sin. He was the sacrificial substitute for the sin of all mankind through His death on the cross. He arose from the dead in His own glorified body, appeared to many, ascended into heaven, and will return to earth in power and glory. He is now the Head of His Body, the Church.
God The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgement, unites man to Jesus Christ in faith, brings about the new birth, and dwells within the believer enabling him to grow in holiness and righteousness. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is available to all who believe in Jesus Christ, and will totally surrender their lives to the complete, perfect will of God. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are available and are for the Church today.
Man was created in the image and likeness of God. Through the original sin of Adam and Eve, mankind has fallen from God and become sinful in nature. He is totally incapable of returning to God in himself and is lost without hope, apart from the salvation of Jesus Christ.
Salvation is the gift of God through the grace and faith of Jesus Christ There is no other name except that of Jesus Christ by which men may be saved. By turning from sin to repentance and trusting in Christ and His death as our substitute, man is born again into eternal life, by the Holy Spirit.
The Church is the body and bride of Christ consisting of the priesthood of all believers, whose task is to take the Gospel to all men in all nations making disciples of them, baptising them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Consummation of all things includes the visible, personal return of Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the translation of those alive in Christ, into the presence of God for eternity.
