We Believe In...
- The one true God who lives eternally in three persons-the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit
- The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming & judging the world
- The divine inspiration & supreme authority of the Old & New Testament Scriptures, which are the written word of God -fully trustworthy for faith & conduct
- The dignity of all people, made male & female in God's image to love, be holy & care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath & judgement
- The incarnation of God's eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ - born of the Virgin Mary; truly divine & truly human, yet without sin
- The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin & defeating evil, so reconciling us with God
- The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the Father, & his reign & mediation as the only Saviour of the world
- The justification of sinners soley by the grace of God through faith in Christ
- The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness
- The Church, the body of Christ both local & universal, the priesthood of all believers - given life by the Spirit & endowed with the Spirit’s gifts to worship God & proclaim the gospel, promoting justice & love
- The personal & visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed & eternal condemnation to the lost, & establish a new heaven & new earth
