What We Believe
Our Statement Of Faith
GOD the Father
We believe in one God who is the maker of all things visible and invisible. Gen. 1:1; John 17:3. He is holy, eternal, all-knowing, perfect, and sovereign over all things. He created all things and uphold all things by the WORD of His power and grace. He graciously proposed from the beginning of time to reconcile man to Himself and to make all things new for His own glory. He exists in three divine persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19-20
God the Son
We believe that Jesus Christ for whom and by whom all things were created. John 1:1-14. The eternal Son, took on flesh, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born to the virgin Mary, lived a life of sinless perfection, He sacrificially shed His blood and died on the cross in our place accomplishing redemption for all who place their faith in Him. He was buried and three days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of God the Father, as our High Priest and Advocate, the only Saviour and Mediator between God and man. He will return to earth in power and glory to receive His church.
God the Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit as the Third Person of the Trinity who glorifies Jesus in all He does. He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgement. He sanctifies, fills, instructs, comforts, equips, empowers the believers and unites them with Christ, sealing them with the promise of adoption into the family of God. He draws the unredeemed to repentance and faith and teaches the believer to live a victorious, Christ-honouring life. John 16:7-8, 13-15; Romans 8:9-17
The Bible
We believe in the inspired word of God – that the holy scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, were spoken by God and recorded in the words of human authors. 2 Timothy 3:16-17. We believe that the Bible is without error in its original writings and that it represents God’s complete revealed will regarding salvation. We believe in the infallibility of the Scriptures, and that the Bible is the ultimate authority upon which all human knowledge and actions are to be judged. The Bible is to be believed, obeyed, and trusted in all matters of life.
The Church & Salvation
We believe in Jesus Christ as our representative and substitute – that the blood He shed on the cross was the complete and sufficient price to pay for our redemption and it pleased the Father satisfying His justice and mercy toward man. Salvation is birthed when genuine repentance, faith, trust and belief in Christ alone through grace. Romans 8:37-39; Romans 10:9-10. We believe that Christ’s followers are saved by grace through faith, that good works do not result in salvation. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by who’s indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life; we further believe His power and gifts are available to believers today.
The scriptures command believers to gather locally to devote themselves to worship, prayer, teaching of the WORD, fellowship, to carry out the ordinances of baptism and communion, to service the local body through the development and use of talents and spiritual gifts, to make disciples. Ephesians 1:22-23; Acts 2:42-46; Matthew 28:18-20.
We are to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love our neighbour as ourselves, showing compassion toward the poor and justice for the oppressed. We are called to live holy lives – set apart to God, fully committed to Christ’s command to make disciples among all people, always bearing witness to the gospel in word and deed
Christ’s Return
We are anchored on the hope of the return of our Lord Jesus Christ at a time in the future that is unknown to all but God, to remove His church 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. We believe that every eye will see Him when He comes a second time Revelations 20:4; Daniel 12:2 according to the scriptures.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
Baptism & Communion
We believe that Water Baptism by full emersion is a public declaration of the believer’s salvation in Christ Jesus. It identifies with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. Matthew 28:19-20.
The Lords supper is the united commemoration by believers of Christ’s death until He comes back to receive His church back to Himself. It should be preceded by careful self-examination 1 Corinthians 11:20-29 It is to be taken often, and as we do it, we do it remembering the Cross.
Baptism of the Holy Spirit – is necessary for every believer to do God’s work and to be empowered to carry out His work. The Holy Spirit fills the believers mind with a genuine understanding of truth, and imparts gifts that qualify the believer for service in the body of Christ. Acts 2:38-39; Acts 1:5-8; Acts 8:14-16; 19:1-5
Children & Family
Children are the ministers of the future, they are a heritage and a reward Psalm 127:3. We are instructed to raise up a child in the ways of the Lord Ephesians 6:4. We follow the guidance of the Word to dedicate our children to God, instructing them in the way of the Lord Proverbs 22:6.
