1. We believe there is ONE GOD who lives eternally in three Persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
2.
We believe in the divinity of the Word of God, Jesus Christ, the Son; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His miracles; His
death for us on the cross; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the Father and His personal visible return to rule the
earth in power and love.
3. As believers in the Word, Christ, we believe that the Holy Spirit lives in us and
brings love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self control into our lives. He works
in and through us with His gifts in diversity and through manifestations of His Spirit.
4. We believe that the
sacred Scriptures, the BIBLE, are God’s inspired written word to the world, without error in the original manuscripts.
The Scriptures speak to us as the only authority for doctrine and practice in the life of a Christian.
5. We
believe that all mankind is lost in sin, meaning ‘missing the mark’ and being separated from God, and in need
to turn and to trust personally in the Saviour, Jesus Christ. All need to be born anew by the Holy Spirit’s
power from this trust into GOD’s Family.
6. We believe in the resurrection of every person: to eternal
life for the believer in Christ and to eternal judgment for the lost.
7. We believe in unity for all believers
in our Lord Jesus Christ and seek community together. We want in every way to be more like Him, Christ, Who is the Head of
His Body, the Church. We are called to love both Him and one another and we are empowered to do this only as His life
and grace flows through us.
