Faith Statement

 

  1. There is one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He created and sustains the universe and gave us life.
  2. Jesus Christ is God in human form. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died for the sins of the world, rose bodily from the grave, entered heaven and one day will return to this earth.
  3. The Holy Spirit lives in every believer and is at work in the world today.
  4. The Bible is God’s living word to us and is our authority for what we believe and how we live.
  5. Satan is a spiritual being opposed to God, but ultimately subject to God’s purposes.
  6. People are made in the image of God and are the supreme focus of his creative work but because of sin are hopelessly lost, separated from God and destined for hell but….
  7. Salvation is God’s free gift through repentance from sin and belief in Jesus’ death and resurrection giving eternal life.
  8. The church is the body of Christ. The local Church is to grow Christians and be a centre for service and witness.
  9. Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the only two ceremonies given by Jesus Christ through Scripture to be observed by the Church.
