Statement of faith
We believe in: One God in three persons -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The verbal plenary inspiration of the sixty-six books of the Bible, the infallible revelation of God. The deity of Jesus Christ: His virgin birth, His sinless humanity, His substitutionary death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to heaven and His personal coming again. Salvation by faith in Christ alone, without works and solely by grace. The power of Christ's blood to cleanse from sin all who come to God by Him (1 John 1:9). The need of works after salvation to express gratitude and to "prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God" (Romans 12:2). The baptism in the Holy Spirit as an experience and subsequent experience to enable the believer to live a life of power as a witness. The one true Church, the Body of Christ, comprising all believers, regardless of colour, race or standing, and the need to attend and support a Bible-believing local church (Hebrews 10:25). The need for daily growth in grace through Bible study, prayer and witnessing. Obedience to the solemn command of Christ to evangelise all nations and to teach believers the truths of the Word of God. The resurrection of the body, the eternal glorified state of believers in heaven and the eternal punishment in hell of all who reject Jesus Christ. The imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ to take His Church unto Himself and to establish His kingdom on the earth.
