Our statement of faith

The Bible

Is inspired of God, inerrant in the original, entirely trustworthy and the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct, and a guide for the life of each individual.

God

There is only one living and true God who exists in a Godhead of three persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, who are equal in substance, power and eternity.

The Lord Jesus Christ

Was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Became Mediator between God and man by His death on the cross. Brings forgiveness of sins to those who believe the gospel. Was bodily raised from the dead and appeared to many. Ascended into Heaven where He now intercedes for His people and is coming again in power and judgment.

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit indwells all believers enabling them to live godly lives. He equips all believers with gifts for service to God. He empowers all believers as witnesses of Jesus Christ.

The Church

The Church is the company of all believers who have been born again, having been baptised by the Holy Spirit into one body, of which Jesus Christ is the head. God has given spiritual gifts to His people for the benefit and growth of the Church, and we seek to develop these in the life of each believer.

Death

Death comes as a consequence of the fall. At death the spirit of man does not cease to exist or become unconscious.

Salvation

A sinner is justified before God by heart-changing faith in Jesus Christ alone. Every one who is justified is born of God. This new birth produces holiness of life and good works as they allow the Holy Spirit to live through them and reject the influences of worldy attitudes.

Baptism

Believers are baptised by full immersion. While baptism is not essential for salvation it is an act of obedience, which is publicly declared after salvation has been received through faith.

The Lord’s Supper

All believers are invited to remember Jesus Christ in His death and resurrection by sharing together the Lord's Supper, usually each Sunday.

Man

As a consequence of the fall, every individual is born in sin and powerless to please God. No person has the strength to do the will of God and so must rely on the Holy Spirit's enabling for regeneration, repentance and sanctification.

The Devil

Satan is an evil personality who is always opposed to God and has evil intentions for mankind.

Heaven & Hell

Those who have died will be raised either to life or to condemnation, and the blessedness of the righteous and the punishment of the unrighteous will both be eternal.

Return Of Christ

The personal return of Jesus Christ to translate His Church is imminent, even more so as the days go by.

What is Baptism?

Baptism is a very special occasion in a person’s journey of faith. It is the act by which a person, having openly declared a trust in Jesus Christ and a desire to follow Him, is joined to the Christian family, the church.

Followers of Jesus Christ are baptised by full immersion into water. This represents surrendering our old way of life and entering into a new life in Jesus.

While baptism is not essential for salvation it is an act of obedience, which is publicly declared after salvation has been received through faith.
