Beliefs

God

We believe that there is one God who exists eternally in three Persons–the Father who saves people by drawing them to his Son through the Holy Spirit. These three are one. We believe that God’s Holy Spirit gives Christians, as they rely on Him, the daily strength and wisdom they need to walk according to His will and to grow in holiness.

Humanity

We believe that all people are sinners and are unable to save themselves or even co-operate with God in efforts to earn their salvation. All people, men and women, are created in God’s image and are called to love God with all their beings. However, since the first rebellion (called 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

We believe that Jesus Christ, as the eternal Son of God, became man, lived, died and rose again to atone for the sins of those who trust Him alone for their salvation. Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and mankind. We believe in the full divinity and the full humanity of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God. He is the fullest and final revelation of God to mankind.

​Salvation

We believe that salvation comes by God drawing people to the Lord Jesus Christ by His Holy Spirit. He convinces them of their sin and enlightens them so that they repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as He is offered in the Gospel. Salvation is the gracious gift of God and cannot be earned or deserved.

Christ's Return

We believe that Jesus Christ shall return personally, visibly and bodily to judge all mankind and to receive His people unto Himself. On that day all sin, suffering, pain and death will be completely destroyed and God will be glorified forever.

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the written Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is our infallible and divine authority in all matters of faith and life.
