Statement of Faith

1. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES We believe the Bible is God inspired (2 Timothy 3:16, 17).

2. THE ETERNAL GODHEAD We believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14).

3 THE FALL OF MAN We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection (Romans 5:12 ).

4. THE PLAN OF SALVATION We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe on Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).

5. SALVALTION THROUGH GRACE We believe that we have no righteousness and must come to God pleading the righteousness of Christ (Ephesians 2:8).

6. REPENTENCE AND ACCEPTANCE We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a whole hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God (1 John 1:9).

7. THE NEW BIRTH We believe that the change which takes place in the heart and life at conversion is a very real one (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).

8. DAILY CHRISTIAN LIVING We believe that it is the will of God that we be sanctified daily, growing constantly in the faith (Hebrews 6:1).

9. BAPTISM AND THE LORD'S SUPPER We believe that baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work (Matt. 28:19). We believe in the commemoration of the Lord's Supper by the symbolic use of the bread and juice of the vine (I Corinthians 11:24, 25).

10. BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT We believe that the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with power; and that His incoming is after the same manner as in Bible days (Acts 2:4).

11. THE SPIRIT FILLED LIFE We believe that it is the will of God that we walk in the Spirit daily (Ephesians 4:30 32).

12. THE GIFTS AND FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the Christian; and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit filled life (1 Corinthians 12:1 11; Galatians 5:22).

13. MODERATION We believe that the experience and daily walk of the believer should never lead him into extremes of fanaticism (Philippians 4:5).

14. DIVINE HEALING We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the physically sick in answer to the prayer of faith (James 5:14 16).

15. THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent (I Thessalonians 4:16, 17).

16. CHURCH RELATIONSHIP We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves with the visible Body of Christ (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:25).

17. CIVIL GOVERNMENT We believe that rulers should be upheld at all times except in things opposed to the will of God (Romans 13:1 5).

18. THE FINAL JUDGEMENT We believe that all shall stand some day before the judgement seat of God, and there receive eternal life or death (2 Corinthians 5:10).

19. HEAVEN We believe that Heaven is the glorious eternal home of born again believers (John 14:1 3; Revelation 7:15 17).

20. HELL We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as the Saviour (Revelation 20:10, 15).

21. EVANGELISM We believe that soul winning is the most important responsibility of the Church (James 5:20).

22. TITHES AND OFFERINGS We believe that the method ordained of God for the support and spread of His cause is by giving of tithes and free will offerings (Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7).
