Our Core Beliefs

Our doctrinal focus is on the following core teachings of the Bible, upheld in the church by the Holy Spirit throughout Christian history.

• We believe in one holy, sovereign Creator God who is eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

• We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, who was born of the virgin Mary, who suffered and died on the cross for our sins, who was raised bodily on the third day, who ascended to heaven and sits at the right hand of God, from where he will come again to judge the living and the dead and reign forever over all things.

• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, who brings sinners to repentance and by whose indwelling the Christian is regenerated and enabled to live a godly life.

• We believe that human salvation comes only by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and not by human works or merit of any kind. (Ephesians 2:8-10)

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

• We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the saved to the resurrection of life and the lost to the resurrection of condemnation. (John 5:28-29)

• We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 4:3-6)

• We believe that Christians should unite with a healthy local church and live a holy life conducive to the spread of the gospel.
