Our Statement of Faith
The Bible
The Bible is inspired of God and inerrant in the original documents and is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
The One True God
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Second Coming
The personal imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ to translate His Church will be followed by the Tribulation and the inauguration of Christ’s reign over the earth. He will then deliver up the Kingdom of God.
The Lord Jesus Christ i
is fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, and is sinlessly perfect. His sacrifice is substitutionary and representative. He rose bodily from the dead and ascended to His Father’s right hand where He now ministers as our
Great High Priest. He will come to Rapture His Church and subsequently return to earth to reign over the earth.
Salvation and Redemption
Redemption is wholly by the blood of Christ and salvation is by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit indwells the believer who is thus empowered to live a Godly life. There will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost; the saved into eternal life and the lost into eternal judgment.
Eternal Security
Every true child of God possesses eternal life and being justified, sanctified and sealed by the Holy Spirit is safe and
secure for all eternity.
Universal Fall of Man
Each member of the human race is fallen, sinful and lost. Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for the salvation of man.
The Church
The Church began with the decent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and is composed of all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. These believers are united to Him and to one another by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Church’s calling, hope and destiny are heavenly and its chief functions are to glorify God and to witness for Jesus Christ until His return. Christ our risen head is the giver of gifts such as for evangelists, pastors, and teachers and we are responsible to Him for our service. These gifts are given “for the perfecting of the saints unto the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ” (Ephesians 4:12)
Ordinances
There are two Christian ordinances, Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Baptism by immersion signifies that the
believer, having died with Christ, is buried with Him in Baptism and is also raised with Christ to walk in newness
of life. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial, instituted by the Lord himself exclusively by His own, remembering
His death, burial, resurrection and life.
