BELIEFS
Creation
We believe in the test and fall of man as recorded in Genesis, and man’s inability to attain goodness and godly righteousness on our own.
Biblical History & Scripture
We believe in the Biblical record of history, including the literal existence of Adam and Eve as the forefathers of all people. We believe in the complete inspiration of the Scriptures as originally given, and that they are free from error including scientific, historical, moral and theological matters.
Genesis 1-11 2 Timothy 3:16 1 Corinthians 2:13
The Lord Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Saviour of all people, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and very man.
Luke 1:26-35 John 1:18 Isaiah 7:14 Isaiah 9:16
Jesus Christ’s Death, Resurrection and Ascension
We believe that Jesus Christ died on a cross for the forgiveness of our sin, was buried, rose again on the third day, and appeared to His disciples. (1 Cor 15:14, Romans 4:25) We believe in His bodily ascension to Heaven and His bodily coming again for the Church.
John 14:2-3 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Salvation by Grace Through Faith
We believe that salvation is a gift from God for all people of every race, age, background, received not by our works but by grace, through faith in the perfect work of the cross.
Water Baptism
We believe in the necessity of baptism by immersion representing that our sinful lives died and were buried with Jesus Christ by faith, and raised from the dead by the power of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit so that we may live new lives.
Communion
We believe that through the breaking of bread and drinking the cup, we take time to examine our hearts, observe and remember Jesus Christ’s sufferings and death for all people.
Marriage
We believe in the sanctity of marriage established by the scriptures, and that God designed marriage as the joining of one man and one woman.
Genesis 2:24, Romans 7:2-3, 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, Ephesians 5:22-23
Gifts of The Spirit
We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit as identified in 1 Corinthians 12-14 and manifested in the Early Church in the book of Acts.
Healing
We believe in the divine healing of sickness and disease for our physical bodies and as practiced in the Early Church. This comes as a result of Jesus Christ’s suffering and death.
Isaiah 53:5-6 James 5:1 Acts 4:30 1 Corinthians 12:9-10a
Tithes, Offerings and Prosperity
We believe the tithe (the first ten percent of our income) belongs to the Lord, (Malachi 3:10) and offerings are given willingly. (2 Corinthians 9:6-15) We believe that prosperity is the will of God for every believer and is always to be associated with God’s purpose.
Satan and His Judgement
We believe in the reality and personality of Satan and the eternal judgement of Satan and his angels.
Matthew 25:41 Revelation 20:10-15
Eternal Life
We believe in eternal life for all who believe in the way of salvation God made for us through Jesus Christ, and eternal consequences of separation from God for those who reject Jesus Christ.
