STATEMENT OF FAITH
THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD
We believe that the Bible (i.e. the Old and New Testaments), is the inspired​ word of God, the infallible, all-sufficient rule for faith and practice.
​
UNITY IN THE ONE TRUE AND LIVING GOD
We believe in the unity of the One True and Living God who is the Eternal, Self-Existent “I AM”, who has also revealed Himself as One being co-existing in three Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
LIFE OF JESUS
We believe in the Virgin Birth, Sinless Life, Miraculous Ministry, He died on the cross on our behalf and rose again after 3 days, He went up to heaven and He’s currently at the right-hand side of God the Father (He now offers us salvation through faith), and in the last days He will return again for his church.
FALL OF MAN
We believe who was created pure and upright but fell by voluntary transgression.
NEW BIRTH (BORN AGAIN) -
We believe this experience of salvation is also known as the new birth and is an instantaneous and complete operation of the Holy Spirit upon initial faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
BAPTISM BY IMMERSION IN WATER
We believe that all who have truly repented and believed in Christ as Lord and Saviour are commanded to be baptised by immersion in water.
BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the enduement of the believer with power for service, the essential, biblical evidence of which is the speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
GIFTS IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
We belive in the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of Christ in the Church today.
HOLINESS OF LIFE
We believe in conducting our lives in obedience to the command of God.
DIVINE HEALING
We believe in deliverance from sickness, by Divine Healing that is provided for in the atonement.
BREAKING OF BREAD (COMMUNION)
We believe that all who have truly repented and believe in Christ as Lord and Saviour should regularly participate in Breaking of Bread.
RESURRECTION OF ALL WHO TRULY BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the everlasting conscious bliss of all who truly believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and the everlasting conscious punishment of all whose names are not written in the Book of Life.
