STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe in:

  • 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;

  • The Church as the one, universal body of Christ who is the Head, called to be God’s redeemed people.
