GOD:
We believe in the One Triune God (FATHER, SONHOLY SPIRIT), GODHEAD, Who is the creator of all things. He has spoken to us in the Bible, which we accept as
his inherent and infallible written Word.
JESUS:
In the Person of His Son, Jesus Christ, He entered the world as a baby, conceived by a virgin, fully man, yet fully God. Our sinful rebellion against God had
separated us from Him, and He became a man in order to restore us to intimate friendship with Him. Jesus Christ lived a sinless life and then offered Himself on the
cross dying as our substitute so that,through the sacrifice of His blood, we might be set free from the just penalty of our sin and made right with God. After his
death, he was buried and on the third day, He rose again victorious over death and the powers of darkness. He later ascended bodily into Heaven where He is
seated at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for us, and he will return to earth in power and glory.
HOLY SPIRIT:
He then poured out the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, giving birth to His new community, the Church. In the Person of the Holy Spirit, Christ lives within His
people, reproducing His holy character within us, empowering us to be His witnesses to the world, and equipping us with spiritual gifts to do the works of the
Kingdom of God.
BIBLE:
We believe in the divine verbal inspiration of the Scriptures. The whole Bible, in the original manuscripts, is without error. As the revelation of God, we believe the
Bible to be the sole authority and sufficiency with regard to Christian faith and practice.
MAN:
We believe that man was originally created in the image of God. Adam fell through sin, and as a consequence of his sin, lost his spiritual life. This spiritual death, or
total depravity of human nature, has been transmitted to the entire human race of man, the Man Christ Jesus alone being excepted. Thus every person is born into
the world with a nature that is essentially and unchangeably sinful apart from divine grace.
UNITY OF THE BODY:
We are committed to the one body of Christ in this region, in its many and diverse local expressions. We desire to be “partners in the gospel” with other ministries in
co-operative projects to advance the kingdom of God.
