About Us

The Bible

We believe the Bible is inspired by God

GOD

We believe the Godhead is eternally co-equal and co-existent in three persons; not three God’s but one; not one Person but three, namely the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Thus we uphold His absolute deity as well as His complete humanity; two natures but one undivided Person.

The Resurrection

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and that He ascended into Heaven where He is now seated at the right-hand of God, the position of power and authority. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead.

Lordship

We confess the Lord Jesus Christ and no other, as Head of the Church, and as our Lord.

The Second Advent of Christ

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will manifest Himself in glory, majesty, and power and in physical presence. This is the second coming of Christ and the blessed hope of the Church.

The Fall

Every individual has sinned and is guilty before God. Man by nature is depraved and incapable of saving his own soul.

Redemption

The Lord Jesus Christ, by His life, death, resurrection and ascension, has made available to all mankind the forgiveness of sins, and eternal life. These blessings are made personally real to the individual, not by works or any personal merit in themselves, but by faith alone, which is accompanied by repentance.

The New Birth

We believe in the necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit in the New Birth, which makes a sinner a child of God

The Church

We believe that the true Church consists of the community of true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, who by faith have had their sins forgiven and been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. We believe in the fellowship of all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ recognizing that the true Church is not confined to any one denomination.

Baptism

We believe in baptism, by immersion, of believers only

The Lord’s Supper

We believe in the Breaking of Bread as commanded by our Lord Jesus Christ

Sanctification

The Scriptures teach a life of holiness, and we are to obey the command “Be ye holy for I am holy.” Believers are sanctified (i.e. set apart) for God’s purpose at conversion. Continuation in sanctification is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to God’s Word.

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Baptiser in the Holy Spirit, and that this baptism, as a distinct experience from the New Birth, is promised to every believer.

Spiritual Gifts

We believe that God has never removed the gifts referred to in 1 Corinthians Chapters 12, 13 and 14 and that whenever the Holy Spirit moves upon the Church in power, these gifts are manifested. We believe it is contrary to the Apostolic Command for any to “forbid to speak in tongues.”

Divine Healing

We believe in the gifts of healing and that God still, in our day, heals the sick

Priesthood of Believers

Each individual believer has full and equal access to God through our Lord Jesus Christ, as a believer-priest

The Ministry

The Ascended Christ has given various ministries to the Church, and each of these exists for the strengthening of and is essential to the welfare of the Church.

Miracles

We believe in miracles, both as recorded in the Bible and as being possible in the present day.

Judgement

We believe that both the living and the dead will be judged it being understood that the believer’s condemnation was borne by our Lord Jesus Christ in His redemptive work.

Marriage

We believe marriage is defined in the Bible as a covenant, a sacred bond between one man and one woman, instituted by and publicly entered into before God.
