Beliefs

On Scripture

We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament and New Testament are the inerrant, inspired and infallible Word of God. God's Word is the final authority for faith and life.

On God

We believe there is only one God, and He has chosen to reveal Himself in three distinct persons as God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

On Mankind

We believe man was created in the image of God and the sin of Adam (the first man) marred that image, creating an eternal divide between God and man. Every person is born in sin.

On Jesus

We believe the only way a person can have a true, forgiven relationship with God is through Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary and conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus became man without ceasing to be God. Our right standing with God is made sure because of His literal, physical resurrection.

On End Times

We believe in the literal, physical return of Jesus to judge the living and the dead. We believe the dead will be raised; and Christ will judge all men. The unrighteous will be consigned to Hell, the place of everlasting punishment. The righteous will receive their reward and will dwell forever in Heaven with the Lord.

On Salvation

We believe God offers eternal life as a free gift and that it must be received by faith alone through God's grace alone in the atoning work of Christ. The life that comes from this gift is a permanent possession of the one receiving it.

On The Church

We believe the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a local body of believers on mission to enlarge God's kingdom. The local church is autonomous, free of any external authority of control. We believe that every believer should be involved for various reasons in a local church as an active member.

On Baptism

We believe that baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, the believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus.

On the Lord's Supper

We believe that the Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the church, through partaking of the bread and the fruit of the vine, memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming.
