We believe...
...there is only one true God, who is King, Creator and Redeemer of everything that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving and truthful. He is eternal and three persons in one: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
...the Bible is the inspired, whole, perfect, and authoritative Word of God.
...humankind was created in the image of God to know Him and enjoy Him, yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death, and judgement entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin.
...Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is God's Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to set in motion God's Kingdom here on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, buried, resurrected, ascended to heaven, and is alive today in heaven with God the Father, and also in His people. He is fully God and fully man.
...we are saved by God's grace, through personal faith and the work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can restore their relationship with God through repenting, believing, confessing, and receiving Jesus as their Saviour and Lord. The Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and adopts us as we enter the Kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.
...in the ongoing sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life and ministers supernaturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4 is poured out on believers that they may have God's power to be His witness.
...the victorious redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy - sin, lies, sickness, and torment.
...the Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. He gave His church the ordinances of baptism and communion. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His Kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching, and living the good news of God's love, discipling the nations, baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God.
...in the ever-increasing government of God and in the Blessed Hope, which is the glorious visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to rule and reign with His overcoming bride - the church.
...heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting death.
