• We believe that the one living and true God

    • is one in essence, eternally existing in the three persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
    • has revealed Himself to be perfect in love and righteous in all His ways.

  • We affirm that the Old and New Testament scriptures are fully God-breathed

    • given by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit as the written Word of God to be understood in its historical and grammatical context.
    • are inerrant in the original writings and the final authority for our belief and behaviour
    • and that God speaks through them in living power to us in our life situations today.

  • We acknowledge that God made men and women in His own image and likeness

    • therefore, we have inherent worth and value as “image-bearers” of God.
    • but through rebellion and sinning against God’s rule and authority, we are members of a fallen race who stand guilty before a righteous God.
    • God however has demonstrated His love for us in sending Jesus Christ, so that by His grace we might be put right with God through faith in His Son.

  • We believe Jesus Christ to be truly God and truly human

    • born of the virgin Mary;
    • the only Saviour of the world,
    • who died on the cross in our place as a once for all sacrifice which won a victory over the powers of evil and left us an example to follow.
    • who rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will one day personally return in glory and judgment.

  • We believe that the Holy Spirit

    • draws sinners to Christ
    • indwells all believers so that our minds are illuminated to grasp the truth of Scripture
    • fills us so our lives are continually being transformed into the image of Christ and His fruit is produced in us
    • equips us to serve God through the gifts and empowering the Spirit offers

  • We accept the responsibility of Christ’s people in this world to embody God’s love both locally and internationally

    • by worshipping Him with confession, prayer, and praise
    • by preaching the good news to all people, making disciples and planting churches
    • by caring for the people of God through fellowship and teaching of the Word
    • by loving service to our neighbours in meeting needs and working for justice, freedom and reconciliation

  • We look on in faith to the conclusion of this age when Christ returns for

    • the bodily resurrection of the dead and the judgment of all people,
    • resulting in the separation of unbelievers from God’s presence forever,
    • and the reuniting of the whole family of believers to enjoy God and each other forever.
