Statement of Faith
We believe in:
- the Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;
- the triune God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
- the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His substitutionary atonement for sin, His bodily resurrection and His personal, visible return to earth to reign in righteousness and glory;
- the person of the Holy Spirit and His work of conviction, regeneration, and sanctification, who indwells every believer equipping them with gifts for service and witness;
- the necessity of new birth, in salvation by faith in Jesus Christ alone and the importance of a life fully committed to the will of God in Christ; and
- the church as the one universal body of Christ who is the Head, called to be God's redeemed people.
We would like you to become a part of this unique organisation but want to emphasise that membership is about responsibility and giving as well as receiving.
