What Do We Believe?

The Bible

The sixty-six canonical books of the Bible as originally written were inspired by God, hence free from error.

God

There is one God, the Creator and Preserver of all things, infinite in being and perfection. He exists eternally in three Persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The eternally pre-existent Son became embodied without a human father, by being born of the Virgin Mary (John 1:14).

To effect salvation He lived a sinless life and died on the cross as the sinner's substitute, shedding His blood for the remission of sins; on the third day He rose from the dead.

The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Triune God. He imparts to man the nature and attributes of Christ (Galatians 5:22).

God's Relationship with Man

God created Adam and Eve in His own image (Genesis 1:26). By disobedience, they fell from their sinless state through temptation by Satan. From this condition we can be saved only by the grace of God, through faith, on the basis of the work of Christ, and by the work of the Holy Spirit.

The Ministries Of Christ

We believe in the full function of the five-fold ministry which was given to perfect and equip believers so they can enter into the work of their ministry, thereby edifying the whole Body of Christ. (Ephesians 4:11-16, I Corinthians 12:28)

Righteousness

When we have turned to God in faith towards the Lord Jesus Christ, we are accountable to God for living a life separated from sin and characterised by the fruit of the Spirit (Hebrews 4:12-13)

Deliverance

We believe in the need for deliverance in order to be free from mental/emotional, physical or spiritual bondage. It is God’s desire to bring deliverance to His people. (Psalms 91:3). We must understand that our warfare is with the forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12), our weapon is the word of God and our authority and power is from Jesus Himself.

The End Times

At the end of the age, the bodies of the dead shall be raised (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). The righteous shall enter into full possession of eternal bliss in the presence of God.

Benevolence

As a fundamental aspect of the practice of our faith, we will share of our material goods with those in need and will minister to them to the best of our abilities

Human Sexuality

We believe that God created man and that He created them Male and Female. God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family.
