God

is the only true God who lives eternally in three distinct but equal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit  to whom equal honour is due.  The sovereignty and grace of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, in creation, providence, revelation, redemption, sanctification, and final judgement.

 The Lord Jesus Christ

is God the Son incarnate, fully God and fully man, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, sinless in birth and life, dying on the cross as a sacrifice in our place, bearing God’s punishment for our sin, defeating evil, and reconciling us to God. He rose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven where he reigns as Saviour and Lord.

Jesus Christ will return to raise the dead, judge the world in righteousness, complete the salvation of his people and give them eternal joy in a new heaven and a new earth. Those who have rejected him will be eternally separated from God

The Holy Spirit

glorifies Jesus, convicts sinners, gives spiritual life through new birth, gives understanding of the Bible, indwells all believers, gives assurance, produces likeness to Christ, brings God’s tangible presence, continues to give signs and wonders, distributes all the biblical gifts of the Holy Spirit, empowers individuals and churches for mission. It is the responsibility of every believer to be filled with the Spirit.

 The Bible

The divine Inspiration, authority and sufficiency of the Bible and its consequent entire trustworthiness and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

 Salvation

Mankind was created sinless but through temptation by Satan became sinful and thereby brought the whole human race under the just condemnation of God and eternal separation from Him.  Eternal salvation for mankind is through repentance and faith in the finished work of Christ.  Justification of the sinner before God is by grace alone through faith alone.  Every justified one is also born of God.  Such new birth results in and is made evident by holiness of life and good works.

 The Human Race

is created in God’s image, both men and women equal yet distinct, so that each individual has inherent and equal dignity and value, whose highest purpose is to obey, worship, love and enjoy God forever. However, every aspect of the human nature has been corrupted by sin until redemption is applied through the merits of Christ’s death.

The Church

is the body of which Jesus is the head, his bride, a universal church to which all who are saved belong, expressed as local churches. We believe in the priesthood of all believers.

The church is committed by the command of Christ to proclaim the gospel throughout the whole world.
