Statement of Faith
We Believe
-
The Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and the basis for our beliefs;
-
In the eternal God, Who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;
-
In the Divinity, Virgin Birth, Vicarious death, Resurrection. Ascension and present intercessory ministry of Jesus Christ;
-
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;
-
That all have sinned and are lost without Jesus Christ as their personal saviour;
-
That a person can be saved only by faith in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus;
-
That water baptism, by immersion, and the Lord's Supper are ordinances to observe - not means of salvation;
-
That the membership of the local church should be made up of nothing but born again believers - the true body of Christ;
-
In the personal, bodily return of Jesus;
-
In the bodily resurrection of all the dead, the everlasting reward of believers, and the everlasting punishment of unbelievers;
-
In the separation of Church and State
