WHAT WE BELIEVE

The Bible

We believe in the divine inspiration of the Bible: Old and New Testaments. It was written by men under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and is free of error. The Bible is sacred truth used to guide us in action and belief.

God the Father 

We believe that there is one living and true God: who is everlasting, ever present, of infinite power, wisdom and goodness. He is the Maker, and Preserver of all things that are seen and invisible. He is present eternally in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Jesus

We believe The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God.  He took human form and was born of the Virgin Mary. He possessed two complete, perfect natures of God and Man. He lived a sinless life, suffered, was crucified, died, was buried, descended into Hell, and rose again on the third day to cleanse the sins of all men for all eternity.

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the Holy Spirit who is truly God and is eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ and also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides Christians with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, spiritual gifts and guidance in doing what is right.

Salvation

We believe that Salvation is a gift from God to man and that it is only available through faith in Jesus Christ. Only by believing in Jesus Christ as God’s final sacrifice can man be saved from sin and be given the promise of eternal life in the presence of God. .

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is an endowment of power available to every Christian at or subsequent to conversion. Through the laying on of hands spiritual gifts may be manifest such as, but not limited to, prophesy and tongues.

Water Baptism

We believe water baptism is not only a sign of repentance but also a sign of regeneration and re-birth into the Church where forgiveness, faith and salvation are visibly signed and sealed.

Lord’s Supper

We believe the Lord’s Supper is a sign of our redemption by Christ’s death as long as the recipient does so worthily and with faith. We partake the Bread and Cup not only as symbols, but spiritually partake of the Body and Blood of Christ. Through the Lord’s Supper we grow closer in our union within the Church and with Jesus Christ.
