We believe that the human race
is created in the image of God but is separated from God by sin, and
that our relationship with God can only be restored through faith in
Jesus Christ.
We believe that Jesus was born of the virgin Mary,
lived as a man but without sinning, died as a substitute for sinners by
taking on himself God's judgement for sin, was buried and His actual
body came back to life after three days and was taken up into heaven to
intercede for the church and to receive the highest honour at the right
hand of the Father.
We believe that Jesus will return in glory to
resurrect the dead, to lead the church into its reward and to bring
judgement and eternal punishment on those who have rejected Him.
We believe that the Holy Spirit makes us aware of our
need of the Saviour, Jesus, and when we accept Him as Lord and saviour
enters our lives, giving us spiritual birth and the spiritual ability to
live the Christian life.
We believe that in accepting Jesus as Lord and saviour
it is necessary to repent from sin and accept forgiveness and cleansing
by faith only in His atoning work on the cross.
We believe that our purpose on earth is to glorify
Jesus Christ by putting our trust in Him and living in the power of
God's Spirit.
We believe that the Holy spirit gives us assurance of
our salvation and shows Himself by giving to any member gifts to
encourage and build up the congregation or to minister to their
spiritual and physical needs.
we believe that Jesus is the head of the church as a
whole and is glorified when groups of Christians worship together,
accept each other and are committed to each other under the leadership
of a local church and in fellowship with other groups of Christians.
we believe that although we are engaged in spiritual
warfare and temptation we are assured victory through Jesus Christ.
we believe that ALL Christians should be baptised by
immersion as a sign of commitment and obedience to Jesus' commands for
His disciples.
we believe in the regular sharing of the Lord's
Supper/Holy Communion as a remembrance and as an outward and visible
sign of an inward spiritual blessing.
