Articles of Faith

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, and our only authority for faith, worship and conduct (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21).

God is the Creator and Redeemer who exists in the person of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1; Colossians 1:14-17; Hebrews 1:1-4).

Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, rose again and ascended into heaven (I Corinthians 15:3-4).

Jesus will come again to receive all believers to Himself (John 14:3; Acts 1:9-11).

The Holy Spirit convicts men of sin, regenerates the believing sinner, indwells, guides, instructs and empowers the believer, through spiritual gifts as He wills, for a life and service that is pleasing to God (John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8; John 14:26; I Corinthians 2; I Corinthians 12:11).

Man was created in the image of God, but he fell into sin, and consequently he incurred both physical and spiritual death which is separation from God (Genesis 1:26, 27; 2:7, 17; 3:6-24; Romans 3:9-23; Ephesians 2:1-3).

Salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ, His blood, righteousness and resurrection (Acts 4:12).

The church is a fellowship of all true believers who have been born by the Holy Spirit into the family of God (Hebrews 10:5; I Corinthians 1:2).
