Statement
of Faith |

|
We believe in God,
the almighty creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in the triunity of God. We believe that
God is eternally One, and also eternally the Father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit -- the three being distinct,
but not separate. Each Person of the Godhead coexists
from everlasting to everlasting.
We believe in the Messiah, Jesus, God's only begotten
son, God come in the flesh. He was conceived by
the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary. He suffered
under Pontius Pilate. He was crucified, died and
buried. On the third day, He rose and ascended into
heaven. Now He is seated at the right hand of the
Father and He will return to judge both the living
and the dead and reign for evermore.
We believe all mankind are sinful and are therefore
subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
We believe that everyone is in need of God's salvation.
Mankind is absolutely unable to fulfill the heavy
demands of God's righteousness, holiness and glory.
Therefore, God, in sending His Only Begotten Son,
has accomplished redemption for us through the shedding
of Jesus' blood. Because of His Son's death, God
has forgiven us of our sins, reconciled us to Himself,
and justified us by making Him our righteousness.
We believe that salvation is a gift received by
faith alone, in Messiah alone, and is expressed
in the individual’s recognition and repentance
of sin, and the acceptance of the risen Messiah
as Saviour, Lord and God.
We believe in the supreme Lordship of Jesus Christ,
before whom every knee in heaven and on earth will
bow. And that there is no other name under Heaven
by which we can approach the holy throne of God.
Jesus Christ is the one and only mediator between
God and man.
We believe that immediately upon death, the soul
of the believer is absent from the body, and present
with the Lord.
We believe in the ongoing work of sanctification
by the Holy Spirit after redemption for the purpose
of producing life changing fruit -- love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness
and self-control.
We believe that the 66 books of the Canon, from
Genesis to Revelation are the exhaustive, inerrant
and inspired word of God.
