What We Believe

Our Vision

To love God, and love people so that the name of the Lord Jesus is held in high honour in every generation and in every nation.

  • Love God, Love People (Matthew 22:36-40)
  • His Name in High Honour (Acts 19:17)
  • Reaching the Generations (Matthew 28:19-20)
  • Reaching the Nations

In terms of our ministry structure, it is helpful to break down the love God, love people aspect as follows;

Love God

Know the word, live the word by the power of the Holy Spirit

Love the Lost

Reaching out with God’s love and message

Love the Poor      

The love of God expressed in practical action

Love One Another

No one stands alone, struggles alone, grows alone

Articles of Faith

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

The Godhead eternally exists in three Persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Mankind

All people are made in the image of God and that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

Salvation

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are the only basis of salvation. We believe in the absolute necessity of repentance and faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins.

The Church

We believe in the Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers — given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit’s gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love.

The Holy Spirit

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. We believe that the baptism in the Spirit with signs following and the Gifts of the Spirit, including divine healing, are available to the Church today.

The Coming King

The personal, physical, and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to reign in power and glory and to finally judge the world.

The Future State

The eternal conscious joy of all true believers in Christ and in the eternal separation from God of those not in Christ.

The Ordinances

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 Saviour

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.

Creation

The dignity of all people, made male and female in God’s image to love, be holy and care for creation.

Marriage

Is an institution created by God in which one man and one woman enter into an exclusive relationship for life. Marriage is the only form of partnership approved by God for sexual relations.
