Statement of Faith
1. THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God without error, anything He wanted us to know is in the Bible. We believe men were moved by His Spirit to write the 66 books of the Bible. We believe the Bible is the instruction book for all born-again Christians to abide by.
Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Isaiah 40:8, 2 Peter 1:21
2. GOD
We believe in one God, who through the inspired scripture and the incarnation of Jesus Christ has chosen to reveal Himself to us in three Persons (Father, Son & Holy Spirit), all coexisting and hold equal worth. We believe He is sovereign and all powerful, creator of everything visible and invisible.
Matthew 3:16-17, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Deuteronomy 6:4, John 1:1-4,14.
3. JESUS CHRIST
We believe Jesus is the Son of God, who came into the world in the incarnation and was conceived by the Holy Spirit in the virgin birth of Mary. We believe He was truly God and truly Man having both a divine nature and human nature simultaneously. We believe He was sinless, and was the promised Messiah who would bear the sins of those who would repent and believe on Him as their only hope of making heaven their home. We believe His death and Resurrection is the completed work which restores relationship between fallen mankind and our Holy God (Propitiation).
Romans 3:25-26, John 1:1-4,14, Matthew 1:18, Luke 1:35.
4. MAN
We believe mankind was created in the image of God in the garden of Eden, However through the rebellious disobedience of Adam & Eve, all of humanity is subject to sin, (Radical Depravity). In our natural state we do not seek after God, we are spiritually dead. We believe only God can save us from judgement through the work of Jesus on the cross. Colossians 1:21-22, Genesis 3:6-19, Ephesians 2:1, Colossians 2:13.
5. SALVATION
We believe Salvation is a free gift of God, which is not earned by doing good works. We believe there is salvation through no one else but through the substitutionary death of Jesus on that cross, who satisfied the holy demands of a holy God. We believe that a born-again Christian is justified by faith in the work of Jesus, and a Christian is progressively growing (sanctification) in their day to day life.
Romans 3:22,24, Galatians 2:16, Ephesians 2:8-9, Acts 4:11-12.
