THE BIBLE: We believe the Bible, as originally given, to be without
error, the fully inspired and infallible Word of
God and the supreme and final authority
in all matters of faith and conduct.
THE TRINITY: We believe that the Godhead exists co-equally and
co-eternally in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that these three are one God, sovereign in creation, providence and redemption.
THE SAVIOUR: We believe in the true and proper deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His real and complete humanity, in His sinless
life, in His authoritative teaching, in His substitutionary and atoning sacrifice
through His blood shed, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right
hand of the Father, in His heavenly intercession and His second advent to receive
His Church. |

THE HOLY SPIRIT: We believe in the
deity of the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son and the necessity
of His work in conviction of sin, repentance, regeneration and sanctification, and
that the believer is also promised an enduement of power as the gift of Christ through
the baptism in the Holy Spirit with signs following. Through this enduement the
believer is empowered for fuller participation in the ministry of the Church, its
worship, evangelism and service.
MANKIND: We believe in the universal sinfulness of all men since
the Fall, rendering man subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
SALVATION: We believe in the necessity for salvation of repentance
towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by which the sinner is pardoned and
accepted as righteous in God’s sight. This justification is imputed by the grace
of God because of the atoning work of Christ, is received by faith alone and is
evidenced by the Fruit of the Spirit and a holy life.
THE CHURCH: We believe in the spiritual unity and the priesthood
of all believers in Christ and that these comprise the universal Church, the Body
of Christ.
THE MINISTRY: We believe in the ministries that Christ has set
in His Church, namely, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers and
in the present operation of the manifold Gifts of the Holy Spirit according to the
New Testament.
THE ORDINANCES: We believe in the baptism of believers in water
in obedience to the command of Christ and the commemoration of Christ’s death by
the observance of the Lord’s Supper until His return.
THE COMMISSION: We believe that the Gospel embraces the needs of
the whole man and that the Church is therefore commissioned to preach the gospel
to the world and to fulfil a ministry of healing and deliverance to the spiritual
and physical needs of mankind.
THE COMING KING: We believe in the personal, physical and visible
return of the Lord Jesus Christ to reign in power and glory.
THE FUTURE STATE: We believe in the resurrection of the dead and
in the final judgement of the world, the eternal conscious bliss of the righteous
and the eternal conscious punishment of the wicked.
