What We Believe

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the infallible authoritative Word of God.

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16,17

We believe that there is one living and true God, the maker and preserver of all things, both visible and invisible. God eternally exists as three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and each person is fully God, and there is one God.

“The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness” Exodus 34:6

We believe that everyone, regardless of race, gender, social class, or intellectual ability, is created in God’s image and for communion with God. But because of sin, that communion was broken and all of humanity was separated from God, the source of all life. Because of the fall, everyone deserves God’s judgment.

“Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man (Adam), and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned” Romans 5:12

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Way for the salvation of lost and sinful men. God gives salvation and eternal life to those who trust in him and regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. Salvation cannot be earned through personal goodness or human effort. It is a gift that is received by repentance and faith in Christ and his death on the cross and resurrection from the grave.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8,9

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, became flesh conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary — died on the cross for our sins, rose victorious over death, ascended to the right hand of the Father as the believer’s advocate and mediator. Shall return to consummate history and to fulfil the eternal plan of God.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity by who’s indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. The Spirit gives us spiritual gifts with which to serve fellow believers and reach out to a lost and needy world.

“But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” John 14:26

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost for judgement, they that are saved unto resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ. All believers are members of the body of Christ, the one true church universal.

“I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” John 17:23
