Doctrinal Basis

Our Mission

To know and show Jesus Christ. “ Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20

God

We believe that there is one eternal, almighty God who created the universe and continues to sustain His creation. (Genesis 1-2 / Deuteronomy 6:4)

Jesus

God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to live as a man and die on a cross as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Jesus rose to life again on the third day, ascended back into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God. He destroyed death and we await His return to bring the final victory over sin and death so we can live with Him eternally. (John 3:16-17 / 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 26 / Ephesians 1:20)

Holy Spirit

Until Jesus returns, He gives all who believe and have been baptised in water, the Holy Spirit, as a helper and a pledge of the inheritance that awaits us. (Acts 2:38 / Ephesians 1:13-14)

Humanity

All men and women are created in the image of God and they have inherent and equal dignity and worth. Their primary purpose is to obey, worship and love God, their Creator. The earth and all of humanity lives in a fallen state since rebelling from God. We are broken people, struggling with sin and in need of healing and restoration. We believe that healing comes through Jesus Christ. (Genesis 3:1-24 / Romans 3:23 / Romans 5)

Salvation

The Bible teaches the redeeming plan of salvation in which sinners are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Saving faith involves turning from sin, confessing belief in Jesus Christ as God’s Son, and immersion in water for the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy spirit. (Acts 2:37-41 / Ephesians 2:8-9 / Romans 10:9-10 / Romans 6:1-7)

The Bible

We believe the Bible is from God and inspired by God. It is the ultimate and final authority for all matters of faith and practice in our lives. (2 Timothy 3:16-17 / Hebrews 4:12-14)

Worship

In the Bible we also find the expressions of acceptable worship to God. Each Sunday, we worship God by: Praying together (Acts 2:42), singing hymns (Ephesians 5:19 & 1 Corinthians 14:15), sharing God’s word (Acts 2:42), sharing communion in the Lord’s Supper (Acts 20:7), offering for the congregation’s needs (1 Corinthians 16:1-2
