GOD
There is one God who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is the almighty Creator, Saviour, and Judge who governs all things according to His sovereign will and is accomplishing His purposes in creation and in the Church to His glory.

THE FATHER
God the Father is the source of all that is good. He initiates creation and redemption which He accomplishes through His Son and the Holy Spirit.

GOD'S WRITTEN WORD
We believe in the doctrinal infallibility of the original manuscripts of the Old and New Testaments in the original languages, and in the historicity of these Scriptures.

The complete Bible constitutes the supreme authority for our faith and ministry. We accept the Bible as the only basis of true doctrine.

THE HUMAN RACE
Humanity is the climax of God's earthly creation, bearing His image, designed for relationship with Him, and being the object of His redeeming love. All people have sinned. This results in guilt, death, and alienation from God as well as the defacing of every aspect of human nature. People are unable to save themselves from sin's penalty and power and from Satan's dominion.

JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ, both fully God and fully man, stepped into time as Saviour of the world. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and lived an exemplary, sinless life in perfect submission to the Father and in loving relationships with others. He died on a cross, rose bodily, and ascended to heaven where He is advocate for His people and is exalted as Lord of all.

SALVATION
Christ's sacrificial death, in which He bore the punishment due to sinners, is the only and all-sufficient basis of God's provision of salvation for all people of every culture and age, expressing His love and satisfying His justice. By God's grace the repentant sinner, through trusting alone in the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour, is put right with God, adopted by the Father into His family and receives eternal life.

BAPTISM
We hold to believer's baptism by immersion. This does not involve infants, as a confession of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour is required.

THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit makes the work of Christ effective to sinners, giving spiritual life and placing them into the Church. He indwells all believers, empowers them to love, serve, witness and obey God, and transforms them to be increasingly like Christ.

We believe that the gifts of the Spirit continue to operate in the Church. However, we reject any form of extremism and practices contrary to God's written Word.

THE CHURCH
We believe that the universal Church is made up of all who have been born of the Spirit through repentance and faith in God's free gift of grace by Christ Jesus. The Church finds expression in local assemblies of believers who gather to worship, fellowship with the Father and one another, proclaim the Gospel, make disciples among all peoples, reflect God's character, and pursue the will of the God in all things.

We believe in the unity of the Church, such unity built on adherence to key doctrines of the faith, even where we may not share all the same nonessential doctrines.

However, we reject - as a false unity - ecumenism or unity with any form with non-Biblical versions of Christianity, having a different doctrine of salvation and a basis of doctrinal authority other than the Bible.

THE SPIRIT WORLD
We believe in the existence of a spirit world and spirit beings. Such beings, as: angels, demons, Satan are created by God and subject to His sovereignty. The holy angels are personal spirit beings who glorify God, serve Him, and minister to His people. Satan is a spiritual being who fell through sin. He, along with other evil spirits, is the enemy of God and humanity, has been defeated by the work of Christ, is subject to God's authority and faces eternal condemnation.

THE FUTURE
We believe in the visible return of our Lord Jesus Christ to the earth in glory to accomplish the final triumph over evil. We believe that Christ will raise both the righteous and sinful dead. We believe in the judgment seat of Christ and the final judgment of all that are ungodly.

We believe in hell and the lake of fire, which is prepared as the eternal abode for Satan, his demons, and sinners. We believe that heaven is the abode of God and that the righteous will abide with Him for eternity.
