The Authority of Scripture – We believe that all the words in Scripture are God’s words. We believe these words of scripture to be self-attesting and are not subject to appeal to any other higher authority for God is the absolute authority. Therefore, we settle that the words in scripture are completely true and without error in any part. Hence, we are committed to believing God to fulfil every promise contained in Scripture. (2 Timothy 3:16)
The Lordship of Jesus Christ – We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (Acts 2:36)
The Power and the Work of the Holy Spirit – We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration of the Holy Spirit is essential. We believe in the empowering of the Holy Spirit, as essential enablement for ministry that would bear witness to Jesus. We seek to develop in the operation of all the gifts and graces of the Spirit given by God as supernatural equipment for the ongoing ministry of Jesus. (Acts 1-8)
Salvation & Pursuit of Holiness – We believe that salvation is found in no one else other than our Lord Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
The Great Commission – We are committed to fulfilling the great commission given by Jesus to the church. To preach the gospel to every person, seeking to draw them to become His disciples. We will seek to multiply this ministry through our mission. (Matthew 28:18-20)
The Uniqueness of the Local Church and unity of local churches – We value the ministry of the Spirit through the local church and seek to express our faith by belonging to a local church and to exercise our ministry by the power of the Spirit as part of that body. (Ephesians 1:22-23; Acts 2:40-47) As local churches we seek the unity of the spirit with every believer, and with all churches that confess faith in Jesus Christ. We desire to cooperate with the other churches in our region in order to proclaim the gospel to every person. (John 17:21; Ephesians 4:3)
The power of Fellowship – We believe in the power of fellowship as we were commanded in the scriptures. (Hebrews 10:25)
Care for the Poor – We want to fulfil the command of Christ to care for those special people in God’s sight whom the Bible refers to as “the poor”. (Matthew 1:1-15)
The Institution of Marriage & Family Marriage – Is God-ordained to be an exclusive relationship, a lifelong faithful union between a man and a woman. This relationship between a husband and wife should parallel the relationship between Christ and the Church. We recognize marriage and family as the crucial basis for society, church and personal growth and are committed to excellence in this area.
