What we believe

   The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Bible, is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, and altogether authentic, accurate and authoritative Word of God, therefore the supreme and final authority in all matters.

   The Trinity
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit—the Trinity. They are co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and have the same attributes and perfections.

   Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, that He was supernaturally begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and is truly, totally God and truly, totally man. He is the only begotten Son of God and at the same time God the Son; therefore, the Lord Jesus Christ, sinless, omnipotent, omniscient, Saviour of sinners, King of kings, and Lord of lords.

   Resurrection

We believe in the literal, physical, bodily resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His literal, physical, bodily ascension into Heaven and in His present work there as High Priest, Mediator, and Advocate for us.

   The Holy Spirit
We believe that at the precise time of the new birth the believer immediately receives the Holy Spirit and is forever indwelt by the Holy Spirit as Comforter, Teacher and Guide.

   The Gospel
We believe the Gospel is the good news that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins; that He was buried that He arose alive and triumphant from the grave and in so doing He made the necessary sacrifice for atonement, which thereby paid our sin debt and purchased our salvation for us; and that all who place their faith in full trust in Him are saved by His shed blood.

   Man

We believe man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also that spiritual death until such a time as repentance, forgiveness of sin and a state of being born again to the newness of a spirit filled life..
