We Believe

A WORD OF EXPLANATION

  • We believe the Bible to be the Divinely inspired, inerrant Word of God, revealing the ruin of man by sin, and his redemption through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 1:7)
  • We believe in the one true God, Creator of all, who eternally exists in three persons: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:26, Genesis 3:22, Deuteronomy 6:4, John 10:30, Acts 5:3-4, 2 Corinthians 13:14)
  • We believe in the absolute deity of the Lord Jesus Christ - true God and true man. He is the only begotten  and eternal Son of God, miraculously born of the virgin Mary. His life was absolutely perfect and sinless (John 1:1, John 1:14-18, John 20:28, Colossians 2:9, 1 Timothy 2:5, Matthew 1:18-25, 1 Peter 2:21-22)
  • We believe that Jesus Christ is God's only provision for sin. On Calvary's cross Jesus Christ fully and eternally paid the penalty for sin and completed the work of redemption. God attested to His finished work by raising Him from the dead (John 14:6, Acts 4:10-12, Romans 3:24, 1 Peter 3:18, Hebrews 7:24-27)
  • We believe in the forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus Christ. All who repent of their sins and trust Him receive eternal life, are "born again", and becomes members of His Church (Romans 3:21-26, Ephesians 1:7, Luke 24:27, Acts 2:47)
  • We believe in the imminent and personal return of Christ for His church (John 14:1-3, 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18)

WHY WE MEET

We exist for the glory of God (Ephesians 3:21) We meet to glorify Him through worship, service and evangelism

WORSHIP- Our Lord instructed us to meet often to remember Him in the breaking of bread. We gather weekly for the Lord's supper to worship our blessed Lord Jesus (Matthew 26:26-30, Luke 22:14-20, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, Acts 20:7)

SERVICE- Every believer in Christ has at least one spiritual gift given by the Holy Spirit. These gifts are used in serving one another for the glory of God. We encourage every believer to use their gifts to build one another in faith, to meet one another's needs and to spread the gospel for the salvation of souls (Romans 12:3-16, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4:7-16, 1 Peter 4:10-11)

EVANGELISM- Jesus commanded His disciples to go into all the world, preaching the gospel and making disciples (Mark 16:15, Matthew 28:19-20) It is our aim to teach the message of salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone as the only hope for forgiveness of sins and peace with God. We do this through personal evangelism, home bible studies and foreign missions.
