Faith Statement
We believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and it is the authority on which we base our faith, conduct and doctrine.2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20,21
We believe there is one God, existing eternally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came to this earth as Saviour of the world. God is completely Holy and He is totally loving.John 10:30; John 14:26; Philippians 2:5-7
We believe that Man is created in the image of God but separated from God by sin. Without Jesus we cannot have a relationship with God.Genesis 1:26; 1 Timothy 2:5
We believe that we can have a personal relationship with God through salvation, God’s free gift to man. It is not a result of what we do, but it is only available through God’s unearned favor. By confessing we have sinned and believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and accepting Him as Lord and Saviour allows us to spend eternity with God.Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 5:1; Romans 3:24
We believe that Jesus Christ will return again and take His Church for those who have accepted Him as Saviour to heaven for eternity.Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; Hebrews 9:28
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ – His humanity, deity, virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death for the sins of the world, resurrection for our justification, ascension to the Father’s right hand, and personal return to reign upon earth. We believe in water baptism, as taught and demonstrated by Jesus, as the way for believers to identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Matthew 3:13-17
We believe the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God, who helps empower the believer to develop the character and image of Jesus Christ that will enable us to live every day in God’s will.Matthew 3:11; Acts 2:4
We believe God gives all believers spiritual gifts. They are for the strengthening of God’s people (the Church) and proof of God’s existence and power to unbelievers. The gifts of the Spirit are active and relevant for today.1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 1 Peter 4:10
We believe Divine healing is active in the lives of people today through Jesus Christ, who is the Healer. Healing includes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual restoration.Luke 9:11; Matthew 9:35; Acts 10:38; Matthew 10:1
We believe the Bible describes hell as a real place. It is a place of suffering and a place of permanent separation from God for those who die without accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and saviour. God’s desire is that no one should perish or be separated from Him for eternity, God sent His Son Jesus Christ to earth to redeem all man kind back to the Father.Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:12-15; John 3:16-18
