Statement of faith:

• I am a Christian saved from the eternal wrath of God by faith in Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, through his death and resurrection, by which I am assured of eternal life (John 3:16-18; Romans 3:23-26). 
• I believe Jesus Christ is exactly who he claimed to be (Isaiah 53:6; Matthew 26:64; Mark 14:62; Luke 22:70; John 4:25-26; John 6:29; John 8:58; John 11:25-27; John 14:6-7; John 15:5). 
• I have repented of my sins and have been made a new creation in Christ (1 John 1:9; 2 Corinthians 5:17). 
• In obedience to Scripture, I agree that baptism in water is a necessary step of obedience to Christ. Through baptism I personally identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, and publicly demonstrate my commitment as a disciple of Jesus (Colossians 2:12; 1 Peter 3:21). 

Statement of doctrine:

• We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament in their original writings.
• We regard the Scriptures as being final as to authority and infallible as to truth, regarding all facets of church life and discipline.
• We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, namely Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
• We believe that God created man in His own image. Thereafter sin entered the first man through disobedience on man’s part resulting in spiritual death for all mankind.
• We believe that Jesus Christ had to die for the sins of mankind so that man could be reconciled back to God.
• We believe in the bodily death, burial and resurrection of Christ.
• We believe in His ascension into heaven and His future return to earth.
• We believe in the initial reception of the Holy Spirit at conversion (Romans 8:9), His internal sealing work thereafter (Ephesians 1:13), followed by continual infillings of His presence from within us (Ephesians 5:18).
• We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust.
• We believe in the regular practice of the breaking of bread and the taking of wine / grape juice to remind us of the new covenant established through Christ’s death on our behalf.
• We believe in the baptism of believers by immersion in water.
• We believe in the five-fold ministry gifts of Ephesians 4:11-12.
• We believe in using these gifts in the life of the church and to affect the communities we minister in.
• We believe in the equality of all persons irrespective of their race, culture or social background.
• We believe that marriage is a creational ordinance ordained by God between a man and a woman and that any relationship of a sexual nature outside of marriage, or between people of the same sex is contrary to Scripture and therefore unacceptable to God and His Church.
