STATEMENT OF FAITH

We Believe:

• In one God, creator, and sustainer of all things, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4, Matt. 3:16-17, John 14:6-27, 1 Cor. 8:6, 2 Cor. 13:14, Gal. 4:4-6, Eph. 2:13-18)

• In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth; in His sinless life; in His vicarious death, resurrection and ascension to the right hand of God the Father. (Isa.7:14, Matt. 1:20-25, Acts 1:9-10, Rom. 8:34)

• In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (John 7:39, 14:15-18, Acts 2:33, 15:8-9, 1 Pet. 1:2, 1 John 3:24, 4:13)

• In the divine inspiration of the Bible, our all-sufficient, authoritative rule of truth, faith and conduct. (Luke 24: 44-47, John 10:35, 1 Cor. 15:3-4, 2 Timothy 3:15-17, 1 Peter 1:10-12, 2 Peter 1:20-21)

• That all people have sinned and that only by God’s grace and through faith alone we are all saved. (Eph. 2:8-9, John 8:34-36, 16:8-9, Rom. 3:23, 6:15-23, 1 John 1:9, 2:4, 3:7-10)

• In the second coming to earth of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved to the “resurrection of life” and the lost to the “resurrection of justice”. (Matt. 25:31-46, John 5:29, John 14:1-3, Acts 1:9-11, Rev. 22:7-20)

• In the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Matt. 8:11, John 13:35, 17:14-26, Rom. 4:16, 10:9-15, 12:1-8, 1 Cor. 3:5-9, Gal. 5:6, 13-14, Rev. 5:9-10)
