WHAT WE BELIEVE

The Word of God

We believe that the word of God (the Bible) is the only authority, and is inspired by the Holy Spirit, and is the only truth that we must live by.  2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 1:25; Mark 13:31

One God

We believe in One God who created the universe and everything in it.
Isaiah 43:10-13; Isaiah 44:24; Deut.6:4; 1 Corinthians 8:4-6

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three manifestations: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus died on the Cross for our sins, that we may be forgiven. And that HE was bodily raised to life on the third day.  Luke 23: 33-34; Luke 24: 1-7; Isaiah 53: 3-7

We believe that Jesus Christ will come back again to gather up His Church.
Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Holy Spirit

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life. John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8 and 4:31; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:6-10

Eternal Life

We believe we have ‘eternal life’ by accepting God’s plan of Salvation which is accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.  1 John 5: 10-12; Romans 10:9; Acts 4:11-12; Colossians 2:6; Ephesians 3:16-19; Ephesians 5:18; 1 Timothy 2:5

Salvation

We believe salvation is a free gift that comes from accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior. Salvation is obtained by grace alone, through faith alone, in the work of Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-10

Spiritual Unity of Believers

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the Church. 1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; Ephesians 1:22-23

Baptism

We believe in being ‘baptized’ by full-immersion in water after receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior. Baptism is the outward representation of the inward reality of what took place at our conversion. Romans 6:3-4; Matthew 28:19
