We believe in the person of the Holy Spirit, Who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower for ministry all who believe in Christ (John 16:8-11; Rom 8:26, 15:13,16; II Corin 3:18; Heb 9:14)
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a distinct and separate experience that empowers the believers to fulfil the ministry. (Acts 1:8)
We believe that no one is right before God and all have sinned, falling short of His righteous standard, breaking His holy law and the whole world is under God’s judgement. Yet God the Father has made a way through Jesus Christ. All who repent and put their faith in Jesus will be saved from the wrath to come.
(John 3:16-18; Acts 3:19, 20:21; Rom 3:10-18 & 23, 10:9; I John 2:2)
We believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, which is His personal, visible return to Earth and the establishment of His millennial kingdom, in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment and eternal blessing of the righteous and endless separation of the wicked (Matt 16:27; Acts 1:11; Rev 19:11-16, 20:11-15).
We believe that the Lord, Jesus Christ instituted two ordinances for the church: full-immersion water baptism of believers and the Lord’s Supper
(Matt 28:19; Luke 22:19-20; Acts 2:38; I Corin 11:23-26)
We believe in a literal Heaven and a literal Hell and that all those who place their faith, hope and trust in Jesus Christ will spend eternity in Heaven with the Lord. Those who reject Jesus’ free gift of salvation will spend eternity separated from the Lord
(Psalm 9:17; Matt 5:3, 5:22, 18:9, 25:31-34; Mark 9:42-49; Luke 12:5; John 3:18; Heb 12:23; I Peter 1:4; Rev 14:10-11, 20:11-15).
We believe that Christ gave some to be Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers. For the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body, to the unity of the faith.
(Eph 4:11-16)
We believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired without error and the infallible rule of faith and practice. The Word of God is the foundation upon which the church operates and is the basis for which the church is governed.
(Isaiah 28:13; Nehemiah 8:8; John 17:17; II Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12; I Peter 1:23-25; II Peter 1:3-4, 21)
We believe that God created man and that He created them male and female. As such, He created them different so as to complement and complete each other. God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. Therefore, we perform marriages in accordance with the Bible consistent with the Old and New Testament
(Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-6; John 4:16-18; Romans 1:18-32; I Corinthians 5:11, 6:9-11,18-20, 7:1-3,8-9; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 5:3-7; I Timothy 1:9-11).
