Statement of Faith

This is just our basic statement of faith


The Written Word of God-the Bible

We believe that the Bible is God-breathed, inerrant, infallible, inspired by the Holy Spirit and authoritative.
It is the final authority.
We believe the Bible consists of 66 books and they are to be interpreted according to their context and purpose in reverent obedience to the living Lord who speaks through them in power by the Holy Spirit. The primary purpose of Scripture is to lead to faith in Jesus. It is the final authority.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)

One living and true God

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Gen. 1:1; Duet. 6:4; Eph. 4:6; Mat. 3:16-17; Mat. 28:19; II Cor. 13:14; I Peter 1:2; I John 5:6-8)

Salvation


We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures and salvation from sin is received only by the grace of God through personal faith in Jesus Christ. All who receive Him are justified on the basis of His shed blood, born of the Spirit and thereby become children of God.
(I Cor. 15:3-4; Rom. 10:17; John 1:12; John 3:4-7,16; Acts 4:12; John 14:6; Rom. 3:10-11,23-24;Luke 13:5; Rom. 10:9-10,13; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus
3:5)


The Church


We believe that the Church,is the living, spiritual Body of Christ, of which Jesus is the Head and all regenerated persons are members. The local church is the primary instrument of God for the extension of His Kingdom today.We believe that the Church, in addition to promoting worship and mutual edification, is to witness in word and deed to the reality of Christ as Savior and Lord, taking the gospel to all peoples, making disciples, baptising and teaching all that Christ has commanded.


(Heb. 10:25; Mat. 16:18; Acts 2:47; I Cor. 1:2; Rom. 16:3-5; Gal. 1:2; Col. 1:18; Eph. 1:22-23)
