What We Believe

Our Statement of Faith

Our beliefs are based on the Bible, the infallible and authoritative word of God

THE TRINITY
In one God, creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons – God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit

JESUS CHRIST
In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; that he is the Son of God. We believe in his virgin birth, his sinless life, his vicarious and atoning death, his resurrection from the dead and his ascension to the right hand of God the Father.

SALVATION
In the spiritually lost condition of all men and the essential need for salvation by the new birth through faith in Jesus Christ and the regenerative work of the Holy Spirit.

BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
In the baptism in the Holy Spirit for all believers, with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

HEALING
In Jesus as a healer of the body, having won healing for us in his atoning death. All believers can claim the promise of divine healing by personal faith in Jesus Christ.

THE MINISTRY
In the five-fold ministry gifts – apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers – given to the church for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry and building up the body of Christ.

THE CHURCH
In the church, consisting of all persons who have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and made new creations in Christ.

THE ORDINANCES OF THE CHURCH
In the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper and baptism by immersion in the water in the name of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, for all believers.

THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST
In the imminent personal physical return of Christ to receive his church and afterwards to set up his throne upon the earth as king

THE FUTURE STATE
In the resurrection of both the saved and lost, the one to everlasting conscious life and the other to everlasting conscious damnation.
