"A Local Community of God's People - a Church that Makes a difference"

About God

We believe that God is the creator of the whole universe. He has revealed himself as One being in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Check out these Bible references: Genesis 1 and 2 John 1 v 1-4.

About Jesus

We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity, who lived a perfect life wholly free from sin. God punished sin, but Jesus on the cross took the penalty of sin and the wrath of God. Jesus rose from the grave on the third day, ascended into heaven, and will one day return. He is the only hope for the people living in this world.

About the Holy Spirit

We believe that before Jesus went back to heaven, he called His disciples and gave them the great commission to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. He promised them the Holy Spirit to equip them for service, and this was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost. The filling of the Holy Spirit is for all Christians who believe. The converts in the Acts shared in this baptism in the Holy Spirit and the disciples recognised God was working among all people when they heard the first Gentile believers speaking in new tongues. This promise is for all believers today.

Bible references: Luke 24 v 49 Acts 2, 10, 19 v 1-6, 11 v 1-18 Ephesians 5 v 18-19 Luke 11 v 13

About Man

We believe that man was created in the image of God, but is fallen and lost through sin. Sin has separated man from God, and if left unforgiven will separate man from God for all eternity.

Bible references: Genesis 3 Isaiah 59 v 2 Romans 3 v 23

About the Bible

We believe that the Bible (i.e. the Old and New Testaments) is the inspired word of God for all times. The Bible is the message of God today, and is totally trustworthy. Its study is vital for all Christians.

Bible references: 2 Timothy 3 v 16 2 Peter 1 v 20-21 Isaiah 34 v 16 Acts 17 v 11 Psalm 119 v 105

About Salvation

We believe that because Jesus died for us, we can have our sins forgiven by faith in His Name, accepting Him as our Saviour. This is what the Bible calls the New Birth. We can know that we are saved for all eternity when we repent of our sins and believe that Jesus died for us, accepting Jesus into our hearts and lives as our own Saviour and Lord. We cannot earn the forgiveness of sins; it is a gift from God made possible by the death of Jesus on the cross of Calvary. We believe in public confession of our salvation by water baptism.

Bible references: Ephesians 2 v 1-10 Romans 6 v 23 John 3 v1- 16 Acts 2 v 38 Titus 3 v 5 Matthew 28 v 19

About the Second Coming of Jesus

We believe that Jesus will return again. We do not know when, but we know that one day He will come back and take all believers to be with Himself for all eternity. Signs around us suggest that His return may not be too far away. Christians are called to live their lives as those waiting for their Lord to return.

Bible references: 1 Corinthians 15 v 51-55 1 Thessalonians 4 v 13-18, 5 v 1-9 Acts 1 v 11 Titus 2 v 13 Matthew 24 v 36-51 Mark 13 v 32-37 Luke 17 v 22-37

About Eternity

We believe that man will live forever, either in heaven with Jesus or separated from Him in hell forever. The Bible outlines some of the wonderful things that God has prepared for those who have had their sins forgiven. God was not willing that any should perish, but there is no other way of having our sins forgiven except by accepting Jesus as our Saviour and being born again.
