Doctrinal Statement

The Word of God
We believe in the plenary inspiration of the Word of God, which are inerrant in the original writings, and the final authority in faith and conduct.

The One God
We believe in one God, the Creator of man and all things, visible and invisible, eternally existing in three Persons the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is God incarnate, Jesus Christ is truly God and truly Man.

Man
We believe that God created man in His own image, that through his disobedience, sin and death, both physical death and spiritual death, entered the world which is separation from God; that Adam's sin is imputed to the whole race of mankind.

Salvation
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross as a substitute for our sins and that all who believe on Him are freely justified before God and stand before Him accepted on the merits of Jesus Christ's shed blood. Salvation is by grace alone.

Holy Spirit
We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour are born again of the Holy Spirit and Word of God, receive the Holy Spirit and a new nature, and are baptized by the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ, thereby become children of God.

Resurrection
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust; the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting punishment of the unsaved.

Ordinances
We believe in the scriptural ordinances of the Church are Baptism and the Lord's Supper and are to be administered by the local Church. Baptism by immersion be administered only to those who believe as a sign of their belief in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and as a testimony to the world.

Rapture
We believe in the personal, visible imminent pre-tribulation, and pre-millennial rapture and the second coming of Jesus Christ in power and glory; to setup His earthly Millennial kingdom and to reign over redeemed Israel and all nations.

Evangelisation
We believe that until the Lord’s return, believers have the responsibility to follow the great commission to proclaim the Gospel to all the people.
