We Believe​

​

1. The Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and the basis for our beliefs;

2. In the eternal God, Who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;

3. In the Divinity, Virgin Birth, Vicarious death, Resurrection. Ascension and present intercessory ministry of Jesus Christ;

4. That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ; to convict and regenerate people, to indwell, guide, teach and empower believers;

5. That all have sinned and are lost without Jesus Christ as their personal saviour;

6. That a person can be saved only by faith in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus;

7. That water baptism, by immersion, and the Lord's Supper are ordinances to observe - not means of salvation;

8. That the membership of the local church should be made up of nothing but born again believers - the true body of Christ;

9. In the personal, bodily return of Jesus;

10. In the bodily resurrection of all the dead, the everlasting reward of believers, and the everlasting punishment of unbelievers;

11. In the separation of Church and State
