THE BIBLE We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word
of God, sufficient foundation for teaching, faith and salvation
through the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ. All true Christian
teaching will be in agreement with the Scripture.
ONE GOD We believe in one triune God existent
in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
CHRIST We believe Jesus Christ to be God manifest
in the flesh. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, divine
miracles, vicarious, atoning death on the cross, His bodily resurrection,
ascendance, mediator work and visible return in power and glory.
SIN We believe in the total and universal sinfulness
of mankind. That in man's unregenerate state, he can do nothing
pleasing to God, and as a result, must face the universal and
just punishment of God for sin.
SALVATION We believe the only escape for man
from his lost condition is the mercy of God offered through the
blood of Jesus who suffered on our behalf. Access to this saving
grace is gained through faith and repentance. Following a person’s
change of heart, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in the new believer.
This experience is described in scriptures as the new birth, and
with the help of the Holy Spirit, the new believer begins living
in fellowship with and obedience to God. The new Christian becomes
a member of the universal body of Christ and should become an
active member of a local Church taking water baptism as a declaration
of his new life in Christ.
HOLY SPIRIT We believe in the in filling of
the Holy Spirit as an experience available for every believer
as per the Scriptures. We also believe in the gifts of the Spirit
as exemplified in I Corinthians chapters 12 and 14, and which
are given for the edification of His Church and for power to do
His work.
HIS BODY We believe in the spiritual unity of
the body of Christ and the priesthood of all true believers. We
believe that all true Christians comprise the body of Christ regardless
of denomination.
PREACHING THE GOSPEL We believe that all believers
have a responsibility to lift up the name of Jesus at all times.
To evangelize and use their gifts to promote the gospel in all
situations from the family to the work place.
MISSIONS We believe one of the principle reasons
the church was established was that the gospel to be preached
in the entire world. That every believer takes the burden of missions
as a priority and always seeks ways of being active in some way
large or small in world evangelism. |
