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 shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to
the right hand of the Father, in His heavenly intercession and in 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 by immersion in water in
obedience to the command of Christ and in 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.
