What We Believe

The Holy Scriptures

We believe the Bible is God-inspired. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17)

The Eternal Godhead

We believe God is triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (2 Corinthians 13:14)

The Fall of Man

We believe that man was created in the image of God, but by voluntary disobedience fell from perfection. (Romans 5:12, 19)

The Plan of Redemption

We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe in Him. (John 3:16; Romans 5:8)

Salvation Through Grace

We believe that we have no righteousness and must come to God pleading the righteousness of Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Repentance and Acceptance

We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God. (Luke 24:46, 47; 2 Timothy 2:24-26; 1 John 1:9)

The New Birth

We believe that the change which takes place in the heart and life at conversion is a very real one. (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20)

Daily Christian Life

We believe that it is the will of God that we be sanctified daily, growing constantly in the faith. (Hebrews 6:1)

Baptism and the Lord’s Supper

We believe baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work (Matthew 28:19-20). We believe in commemorating the Lord’s Supper by symbolical use of the bread and juice of the vine. (1 Corinthians 11:24-25)

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with power; and that His incoming is after the same manner as in Bible days. (Acts 2:4)

The Spirit Filled Life

We believe that it is the will of God that we walk in the Spirit daily. (Ephesians 4:30-32)

The Gifts and Fruit of the Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit has spiritual gifts for the Christian; and that believers should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life. (1 Corinthians 12:1-11; Galatians 5:22-23)

Moderation

We believe that the experience and daily walk of the believer should never lead him into extremes of fanaticisms. (Philippians 4:5; James 5:19-20)

Divine Healing

We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the sick in answer to the prayer of faith. (James 5:14-16)

The Second Coming of Christ

We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

Church Relationship

We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves with the visible church of Christ. (Acts l6:5; Hebrews 10:24, 25)

Civil Government

We believe that rulers should be upheld at all times except in things opposed to the will of God. (Romans 13:1-5)

Judgement

We believe that all shall stand some day before the judgement seat of God; and there receive eternal life or death. (Romans 2:1-16; 2 Corinthians 5:10)

Heaven

We believe that heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers. (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-17)

Hell

We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as the Saviour. (Revelation 20:10-15)

Evangelism

We believe that soul winning is the most important responsibility of the Church. (Acts 1:8; 8:4-8)

Tithes and Offerings

We believe that the method ordained of God for the support and spread of His cause is by giving of tithes and free-will offerings. (Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:6-15)
