We believe…
- In the Bible — that the Holy Scriptures are the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, serving as the ultimate foundation for doctrine, faith, and daily living.
- In the Triune Godhead — one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In Jesus Christ dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9); He is fully God and fully man, the exact representation of the Father.
- In the blessed hope of the Church — the imminent, personal, and glorious return of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
- In salvation by grace through faith — that forgiveness and cleansing from sin come only through genuine repentance and unwavering faith in the atoning sacrifice and precious blood of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.
- In the baptism of the Holy Spirit — as experienced by believers in Acts 2:4, available to all who ask in faith. We affirm the continuation of the gifts of the Spirit for the edification of the Church and the advancement of God’s Kingdom.
- In sanctification through the Holy Spirit — who indwells, empowers, and enables believers to live in holiness, spiritual maturity, and obedience to God.
- In the bodily resurrection — of both the righteous and the unrighteous: the saved to everlasting life in God’s presence, and the lost to eternal separation and judgment, as revealed in Scripture.
- In water baptism by immersion — as an ordinance commanded by Christ, symbolizing the believer’s identification with His death, burial, and resurrection.
- In the unity of the Church — that all baptised believers are one body in Christ. Jesus is the head of the Church, and each member is uniquely gifted and positioned for service (1 Corinthians 12:12; Ephesians 1:22).
- In the Five-Fold Ministry — apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers — along with eldership, for the equipping of the saints and the edification of the Church, in accordance with the New Testament model.
- In the Lord’s Supper — a sacred ordinance instituted by Jesus Christ, commemorating His suffering and death, and proclaiming His return.
