We believe that the Holy Bible was written by divine inspiration, and that it is a record of God’s revelation of Himself to mankind. It is a book of divine instruction. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, John 1:1-14)

We believe there is only one living and true God, and that the eternal God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each member of the Trinity has distinct personal attributes, but yet still one. (Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 12:28-31)

•  God the Father: He is fatherly in His attitude toward all men. He is all powerful, all knowing, omnipresent, omnipotent, and sovereign. (Jeremiah 10:12; Psalm 139: 7-10; Psalm 147:5; Proverbs 15:3; Romans 1:20)
• God the Son: Jesus is the eternal Son of God. We believe He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He was crucified, willingly shedding His blood for the redemption of mankind and forgiveness of sins to all who receive the sacrifice. He was crucified, dead, and buried. On the third day He rose from the dead with a glorified body, appeared to His disciples, ascended to heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of the God where He is the One Mediator, bringing reconciliation between God and mankind. He will return in power and glory to judge the world and to complete His redemptive mission. He now dwells in all believers as the living and ever present Lord. (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 3:17; Acts 1:8-11; Romans 8:31-34; 1 Timothy 3:16; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-6; Titus 2:11-14)
• God the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God (the Comforter, the Intercessor, the Strengthener, the Standby, and the Counsellor). He illuminates men to understand truth, and He draws men to the Father. He convicts of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. He enlightens and empowers the believer and the church in worship, evangelism, and service. (John 16:7-8; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 5:16-17; Romans 8:5-13)

Mankind was created free of sin and innocent, but with a free choice. By mankind’s choice, sin entered the human race. Thus, the fall came by choosing to follow Satan and his temptation. Redemption comes through receiving Christ as a free gift and believing in the heart that He died for sins through the shedding of His own blood and receiving and accepting the free gift of salvation offered to “whosoever will.” (Galatians 3:17-24; Romans 5:6-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10)

We believe in the new birth as a work of God’s grace whereby believers become new creatures in Christ Jesus. It is a change of heart wrought by the Holy Spirit through conviction of sin, to which the sinner responds in repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. (Matthew 16: 24-26; John 3:16-18; Romans 10:9-13)

The Church universal is the Body of Christ, and it consists of all true believers who are associated by their covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel. The various local churches are smaller entities of the universal body of true believers. The Church operates under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and He raises up pastors and deacons as leaders. The pastors are the shepherds of the individual flocks. (Ephesians 1:18-23; Ephesians 4:4-13)

We believe that God instituted marriage as a lifelong sacred union between one man and one woman. (Genesis 1:27-28; Genesis 2:18-24; Proverbs 5:18-19; Malachi 2:13-16; Matthew 5:31-32; Matthew 19:4-9; 1 Corinthians 7:10-11; 2 Corinthians 6:14; Ephesians 5:22-23; Ephesians 6:4; Hebrews 13:4).

We believe that God created human beings in His own image and likeness, and that men and women are each uniquely yet equally created in God’s image (Genesis 1:26-31; Genesis 5:2; Galatians 3:28; Matthew 19:4-5). We believe that God created human beings either male or female, and desires for us to identify with our God-given biological sex (Romans 1:18-32; Leviticus 18:22; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Deuteronomy 22:5).

We believe in following the example of Christ in water baptism. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer’s faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, and the believer’s death to sin, burial of the old life, and a resurrection to walk in the newness of life in Christ Jesus. (Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 1:4-11)

We believe in the Lord’s Supper as a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the church remember the death of Christ by partaking of bread and fruit of the vine. (Matthew 26:26-28; 1 Corinthians 11: 23-26)

We believe that believers should give a tithe, or a tenth, of their total income to the local church in which they are a part. (Malachi 3:8-10)

We believe that loving God and loving our neighbour are God’s greatest commandments (Matthew 22:36-40), and that God calls us to love and respect our neighbours as He loves us (John 13:34). We believe that God’s desire is for us to unconditionally love and respect one another, as image-bearers of God (Mark 12:31; 1 Peter 4:8; Galatians 5:14; Romans 13:9).
