What We Believe

Statement of Faith

“The Bible, the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God without error in the original writings, and are the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.”

1. We believe in God Eternal, triune, almighty creator, sustainer and ruler of all creation.
2. We believe in God the Father, the author of creation and salvation
3. We believe in Jesus Christ the only Son of God the Father, true God who for the sake of humanity and its salvation, descended from heaven and became flesh, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born by the virgin Mary, who lived on earth and was crucified, died and was buried, who rose from the dead and ascended to heaven where He is seated at the right hand of the Father.
4. We believe in the Holy Spirit, true God proceeding from the Father and the Son, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgement and leads in all truth.
5. We believe that the Bible is the word of God, written by men as the Holy Spirit inspired them. We believe that it authoritatively proclaims the will of God and teaches us all that is necessary for salvation.
6. We believe that all human beings are created in the image of God; due to their sinful rebellion, this image is marred, that all have sinned before God and it is the will of God that all people should receive salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
7. We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues as promised to all believers. We believe in the manifestation of the gifts and fruit of the Spirit in the life of a Christian. We believe that a Christian should be a disciple of Jesus Christ living a consecrated and holy life.
8. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, which is constituted by the Holy Spirit and consists of born again believers. The Church is responsible for the proclamation and demonstration of the gospel and God’s will to people. As a charismatic community they fellowship with and edify one another.
9. We believe that the believer’s baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper are institutions of Christ to be observed by the Church.
10. We believe that at the time appointed by God, Christ will come to take away his Church.
11. We believe in a day of judgement when Jesus Christ will judge the living and the dead.
12. We believe in the resurrection of the body and eternal life for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked. We believe in the new heaven and the new earth where God will reign in glory.
