What we believe about God, His Word, the Gospel, salvation and the Christian life.
The Bible
It is originally given, without error, the fully inspired and infallible word of God and the supreme and authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
— 2 Timothy 3:16The Trinity
The Godhead exists coequally and coeternally in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit and these three are one God, sovereign in creation, providence and redemption.
The Saviour
The Lord Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God and was born of the virgin Mary, was completely sinless, taught authoritatively, died as our substitution and atonement, was resurrected and ascended to heaven.
"For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures."
— 1 Corinthians 15:3–4The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit has been given to guide believers into all truth and empower them to work the works of God and be His witnesses.
Mankind
We believe in the universal sinfulness of mankind since the fall rendering them subject to God’s judgement.
Salvation
We believe in the necessity of repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ leading to salvation – being pardoned and accepted as righteous in God’s sight and becoming a child of God. This is by the grace of God and received by faith alone.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."
— Ephesians 2:8–9The Great Commission
The Gospel answers the needs of the whole man and believers are commissioned to preach the Gospel to the whole world.
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
— Matthew 28:19
