About God and the Bible...                    

We believe in salvation by grace.  This is a free gift from God, given to all who believe in His Son Jesus, the Christ, and accept Him as the Lord of their life. (John 3:16) (Ephesians 2:4-9)

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Jesus is God incarnate, and was manifest in human flesh.  he was like us in all ways except for one - He was free from sin.  (John 1:1-14) (John 10:30)

We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God.  The Word of God is eternal and unbroken. (II Timothy 3:15-17)

We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19-20) (I John 5:7)

We believe that our Lord was conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary. (Isaiah 7:14) (Matthew 1:18-23)

We believe in the atoning death of Jesus, who died on the cross so that we might live - offering Himself up as the perfect sacrifice for sinful man. (Romans 5:6-10) (I Thessalonians 5:9-10)

We believe that Christ is the risen Saviour.  Jesus rose from the dead, ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. (Acts 1:8-11)

We believe that all believers should receive water baptism, as a demonstration of their faith, and in obedience to the commandment of our Lord.  This act represents a commitment by the believer, and should be accompanied by a renewal and sanctification through the Holy Spirit.  Water baptism is an outward symbol of spiritual identification with His death, burial, and resurrection. (Matthew 28:18-20) (Mark 1:4-11)

We believe in the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit, for the edification of the body of believers, and enabling the believer to live a life pleasing to God. (Matthew 7:13-23) (I Corinthians 12:1-12)
