Our Statement of Faith

GOD
There is one God, who exists eternally in three distinct but equal persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
God is unchangeable in his holiness, justice, wisdom and love.
He is the almighty Creator, Saviour and Judge who sustains and governs all things according to His sovereign will for His own glory.

THE BIBLE
God has revealed himself in the Bible, which consists of the Old and New Testaments alone.
Every word was inspired by God through human authors, so that the Bible as originally given is in its entirety the Word of God, without error and fully reliable in fact and doctrine.
The Bible alone speaks with final authority and is always sufficient for all matters of belief and practice.

THE HUMAN RACE
All men and women, being created in the image of God, have inherent and equal dignity and worth.
Their greatest purpose is to obey, worship and love God.
As a result of the fall of our first parents, every aspect of human nature has been corrupted and all men and women are without spiritual life, guilty sinners and hostile to God.
Every person is therefore under the just condemnation of God and needs to be born again, forgiven and reconciled to God in order to know and please him.

JESUS CHRIST
The Lord Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man.
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life in obedience to the Father.
He taught with authority and all his words are true.
On the cross he died in the place of sinners, bearing God’s punishment for their sin, redeeming them by his blood.
He rose from the dead and in his resurrection body ascended into heaven where he is exalted as Lord of all.
He intercedes for his people in the presence of the Father.

SALVATION
Salvation is entirely a work of God’s grace and cannot be earned or deserved.
It has been accomplished by the Lord Jesus Christ and is offered to all in the gospel.
