    What we Believe

    We believe in:

    • God the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These persons being distinct yet equal.
    • The true deity and true humanity of Jesus Christ, God's Son. His virgin birth by the Spirit, His sinless life. His sacrificial death for the atonement of sins, His bodily resurrection, ascension and coming again.
    • Salvation to be entirely a work of God’s grace, which cannot be earned or deserved, yet is freely available to all who trust in Christ and His atoning sacrifice on the cross.
    • The Illuminating, regenerating, indwelling, empowering and sanctifying work of God the Holy Spirit
    • The Scriptures. which have their source and inspiration in God. That they speak with final authority, and are sufficient for all matters of belief and practice.
    • The creation of all men and women in the image and likeness of God, conferring on them dignity and worth, who have, however, sinned and become alienated from God and His purposes and fallen short of God's glory.
