WHAT WE BELIEVE
WE BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible, in its entirety, is the inspired Word of God. It contains the mind and will of God for man’s complete salvation. It is the only God-given authority for the Christian faith and life. (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21)
WE BELIEVE IN GOD
We believe there is one God who is creator of all things, eternal, infallible and immutable.
(1 Corinthian 8:6, Ephesians 4:6)
We believe that God has revealed himself as Father in creation, as Son in redemption and as the Holy Spirit in those who believe by faith in him.
(Ephesians 4:6; 2 Corinthians 5:19; Acts 11:14-17)
WE BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST
We believe Jesus Christ is both God and man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered, died, was buried, and rose from the dead for our total salvation. (Luke 3:21-22; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 2:19)
WE BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe the Holy Spirit is God's indwelling power to help the believer live a victorious life.
(Acts 1:8)
WE BELIEVE IN HUMANITY
We believe that in the beginning, God created human beings pure and innocent but they fell into sin through disobedience and are therefore lost. “By one man’s disobedience, sin entered into the world”. (Genesis 1:27, Romans 3:23 5:12)
WE BELIEVE IN SALVATION
We believe the shed blood of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the foundation for justification and salvation to all believers.
We believe God’s plan of salvation for all of humanity is contained in three steps, (1) Repentance, (2) Water Baptism, by immersion (3) Receiving the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues. (Acts 2:4, 38; Acts 10:44-48; Colossians 3:17)
WE BELIEVE IN THE SECOND COMING
We believe in the personal imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17)
WE BELIEVE IN THE FINAL JUDGEMENT
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead; the believer to everlasting life and the unbeliever to everlasting conscious punishment.
(Matthew 24:31-46; Acts 24:15; Revelation 20:15; 20; 8)
WE BELIEVE IN SACRAMENTS
We believe the Lord’s Supper is a memorial service symbolic of Christ’s broken body and shed blood; there are spiritual blessings in partaking of the sacrament.
(Luke 22:19-20; 1Corinthians 11:23-24)

WHAT IS GOD'S PLAN FOR YOUR SALVATION?
STEP ONE: AWARENESS
You realize that you have sinned; you have done things that displease God. You have been following your own opinions and desires, not God’s commands. But you see that God loves you, that He is reaching out to help you.
STEP TWO: REPENTANCE
You repent, you feel sorry about the way you have lived. You make a commitment to turn away from every sinful way and follow the ways of God. (Acts 3:19)
STEP THREE: BAPTISM
You are baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission, or washing away of your sins. In baptism your old life is symbolically “buried”, and you rise to live a new life. (Acts 2:38, Rom. 6:4)
STEP FOUR: SPIRIT-FILLED LIVING
You receive the gift of God’s Spirit to live in you, enabling you to resist temptation and sin, to understand God’s power. (Acts 2:4)You continue to live every day in a way that is holy, seeking the leading of God in your words and actions. You enjoy His presence, His joy, His blessings as you reach out to meet the needs of others, and by your example, help them to know God.
