Statement of Faith
The Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God. It contains everything we need to teach us the truth about God, lead us to salvation and show us how to live as followers of Jesus Christ.
There is one true God, the creator of all, who is unchanging, omniscient and omnipotent, and perfect in holiness and love. This one God is in Himself three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Our Lord Jesus Christ was born a man, yet He is God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life, so becoming our Great High Priest. Jesus was crucified and rose again after 3 days, proving that He is he Son of God, the promised Messiah and Saviour of the world. He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead and has the same characteristics and nature as God the Father and God the Son. He was present and active from the beginning, but fully revealed after Jesus had completed His work of redemption. His ministry is to glorify Jesus, convict men of sin, bring them to salvation and to indwell and empower believers, so they can become more like Jesus.
Man was created in God’s image, but he is now spiritually dead because of sin. God in His infinite love chose to become one of us, to redeem us back from Satan and save us from the punishment of sin, which is eternal separation from God. Jesus chose to die, to pay the price for our sin, by laying down His life and shedding His blood.
The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ will come again. His return will be personal and physical, so that everyone will see Him. This will usher in the millennial age when Christ will reign on earth with His saints.
All men and women will be raised to life, and stand before their Creator. Those who rejected God’s offer of salvation through Jesus Christ will face the Judgment Seat of God and eternal separation from God. However those who have accepted His gracious offer are saved and have the assurance of living with Jesus in His Heavenly home for eternity.
