Statement of Faith

We declare our adherence to the following creed and beliefs:

  1. We believe the Bible – Old and New Testaments, to be the complete Word of God; that each book originally written was verbally inspired by the Spirit of God and being entirely free from error, and accept them as the final authority in all matters of faith and life.

  2. We believe in one God existing in three divine Persons; Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy Spirit – co-existent, sovereign, eternal and co-equal and united in all their attributes and purpose.

  3. We believe in Jesus Christ as begotten of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary and that He is true God and true man.

  4. We believe that repentance toward God, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit are necessary to salvation.

  5. We believe salvation is a gift from God to man, separate from the works and the law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God.

  6. We believe that through God’s grace, we may be ‘wholly sanctified’ and that our ‘whole spirit, soul and body’ may ‘be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
