Statement Of Faith

We believe that

1. There is one God, creator of all things, who lives forever in three persons - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

2. The Bible to be divinely inspired, infallible, trustworthy and is absolute authority in all matters of faith and behaviour.

3. That the Bible reveals Jesus Christ our Lord as the Son of God and the subject of all scripture both Old and New Testaments.

4. In the divinity of Jesus Christ the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His death for us upon the cross, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the Father, and His personal, physical return to rule the earth in power and love.

5. That all mankind is lost in sin but that, because of the love of God, salvation is available to everyone through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, by faith, and that all need to be born anew through the power of the Holy Spirit into the family of God.

6. In the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit who indwells the believer enabling them to live a holy life to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ and that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is alone effective to promote discipleship

7. In the resurrection of every person - to eternal life for the believer and eternal separation from God for the non-believer.

8. In the unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the head of His body, the Church, and to become more like Him in every way, sharing His inheritance now and forevermore.
