We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe the Bible is our only authority.

We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to man and to become the Saviour of the lost world. We believe in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth conceived by the Holy Ghost, and that He is, therefore, God manifested in flesh. We believe that the Son of God gave His life as a ransom for many, and bore our sins in His body on the tree, and that Salvation is by His divine sacrifice alone. We believe in His physical resurrection from among the dead and His ascension to the right hand of God as our High Priest and Advocate and that he will return a second time to establish His kingdom. We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit as the third member of the holy trinity, who was sent to the earth on the day of Pentecost to indwell all believers.

We believe that mankind was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man is incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through his own effort alone. Death seals the eternal destiny of each person. For all mankind, there will be a resurrection of the body into the spiritual world and a judgement that will determine the fate of each individual. Unbelievers will be separated from God into condemnation. God's judgement will reveal His justice in consigning them to perpetuate in eternal retribution their own rejection of God. Believers will be received into eternal communion with God and will be rewarded for works done in this life.

We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ shed on the cross provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, salvation occurs only when people repent of their sin and place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin.

We believe that every Christian should live for Christ and not for himself. By obedience to the Word of God and daily yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Christ. The Holy Spirit was sent into the world by the Father and the Son to apply to mankind the saving work of Christ. He enlightens the minds of sinners, awakens in them recognition of their need of a Saviour and regenerates them. At the point of salvation, He permanently indwells every believer to become the source of assurance, strength, and wisdom, and uniquely endows each believer with spiritual gifts for the up-building of the body. The Holy Spirit assures believers of their relationship with God as their Father and guides believers in understanding and applying the Scripture. His power and control are appropriated by faith, making it possible for the believer to lead a life of Christ-like character and to bear fruit to the glory of the Father.

We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of this invisible universal Church are those who have trusted God for salvation by faith in the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the Church is to glorify God by loving Him, by building up the body in unity and maturity (Ephesians 4 v 12-13) and by making Him known to the lost world.
