What we believe

There is only one God, who exists in three persons:
Father, Son and Spirit, in perfect unity. He is the almighty and loving
Creator, Saviour and Judge who sustains and governs all things according to his
sovereign will for his own glory.

The Bible

The Bible, as originally given, is the God-breathed
and infallible word of God. This precious, life-giving word is sufficient for
our knowledge of God and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and
conduct.

Humanity

All people, men and women, are created in God's
image and are called to love God with all their beings. However, since the
fall, all people are guilty of rebellion against God and human nature is
thoroughly corrupted by sin. This makes everyone subject to God's righteous
anger and condemnation.

Jesus Christ

God demonstrated his love towards us by sending his
Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is both fully God and fully man. He was
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life in
obedience to the Father. He died on the cross, rose from the dead, and in his
resurrected body ascended into heaven where he is exalted as ruler over all.

Salvation

Salvation is entirely the gracious gift of God and
cannot be earned or deserved. It is accomplished through the atoning death,
once for all time, of our representative and substitute, Jesus Christ, the only
mediator between God and sinners. By Christ's death God's anger is turned
aside, we are redeemed from sin and death, and we are declared to be righteous
in God's sight. This salvation is offered in the gospel and received by turning
to God from sin and trusting in Jesus Christ.

The Holy
Spirit

The Holy Spirit has been sent from heaven by the
Father and the Son. He enables people to turn to God, the Father, and to trust
in Jesus Christ, the Lord. He makes the death of Christ effective to individual
sinners, imparting spiritual life. God's Spirit dwells in all those he has
regenerated, producing in them likeness to Christ in attitudes, actions and
speech.

The People
of God

The Lord Jesus Christ builds the church, his
people, through the proclamation and teaching of his word. All who have been
saved through the work of Christ are members of his church and united with one
another. God has equipped his people with gifts to be used for mutual
edification in the church and for the proclamation of the gospel to the world.

The Future

The Lord Jesus Christ will return from heaven. He
will execute God's condemnation on all who have not turned to God through Jesus
Christ, and he will welcome his people in to a life of eternal joy in
fellowship with God. On that day all sin, suffering and death will be
completely destroyed and God will be glorified forever.
