1. The Scriptures: We believe God inspired all the words of the
Bible without error in the original writings to give mankind his
authoritative message.
2. The Godhead: We believe in one God eternally existing in three
persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. Jesus Christ: We believe in his full deity, his virgin birth,
his real humanity, his sinless life, his substitutionary death,
his bodily resurrection, his ascension into heaven, his present
ministry as High Priest and his future personal return to this earth.
4. The Holy Spirit: We believe in his full deity. He convicts sinners
and saves those who believe in Christ. He indwells, seals and places
believers into the body of Christ. He gives spiritual gifts and
the power to live the Christian life.
5. Man: We believe that God created all things as described in
Genesis. We believe that the first man, Adam, sinned, bringing spiritual
death to all mankind, who, therefore, stand condemned, making the
new birth absolutely necessary.
6. Salvation: We believe that God gives eternal life to those who
repent and put their faith in Christ alone, justifying them by the
blood of Christ and imputing his righteousness to them.
7. The Church: We believe in the universal church to which all
believers belong. We believe in the importance of the local church
which is made up of believers who gather for worship, fellowship
and teaching. We believe in the responsibility of the Church to
fulfil the Great Commission of Christ, preaching the Gospel to all
nations.
8. The Future: We believe in the eternal existence of the soul,
the resurrection of the body, the eternal blessedness of believers,
the eternal punishment of unbelievers.
