Statement of Faith
We believe in one God who lives forever in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Bible is God’s word to the world speaking to us with authority and without error.
We believe that marriage is the covenanting together of one man and one woman for life in a union to the exclusion of all others. This union is established by an authorized ceremony before God.
Marriage is a unique reflection of God’s faithful love for all humankind. The relationship of husband and wife reflects the covenanting self-giving love between Christ and His Church, central to a Christian understanding of marriage. The pledge of mutual faithfulness is not tentative or conditional. The permanent nature of the marriage bond gives security and promotes the development of a trusting relationship. The church has a responsibility to care for, nurture and prayerfully support the marriage relationship and the children of the union.
We believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ the Son, in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His death for us on the cross, His shed blood, His resurrection from the dead, His ascension to the Father and in His personal, physical return to rule on earth in power and love.
We believe that all mankind is lost in sin and selfishness and needs to turn from it and trust in the Saviour, Jesus Christ, being born anew by the power of the Holy Spirit into the family of God.
We believe that the Holy Spirit lives in us as believers and brings love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self-control into our lives. He works in and through us with His charismatic gifts.
We believe in the resurrection of every person, to eternal life for the believer and to eternal judgment for the lost.
We believe in the unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and seek community together, to become more like Him in every way, who is the head of His body, the church. We are called to love Him and one another and are enabled to do this only as His love flows in and through us.
