Statement of Faith
We believe that the Scriptures of the
Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God; and that they alone constitute
the divine rule of Christian faith and practice.
We believe that there is only one God who is
infinitely perfect - the Creator, Preserver and Governor of all things - and who is the
only proper object of religious worship.
We believe that there are three persons in
the Godhead - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit - undivided in essence and co-equal
in power and glory.
We believe that in the person of Jesus Christ
the divine and human natures are united; so that he is truly and properly God, and truly
and properly man.
We believe that our first parents were
created in a state of innocency but, by their disobedience, they lost their purity and
happiness; and that in consequence of their fall all men have become sinners.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has, by
his suffering and death, revealed to the whole world the infinite Love and Provision of
the Father, so, that whosoever will be saved, may be saved.
We believe that repentance towards God, faith
in our Lord Jesus Christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit are necessary to salvation.
We believe that we are justified by grace,
through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ; and that he that believeth hath the witness in
himself.
We believe that it is the privilege of all
believers to be 'wholly sanctified', and that their 'whole spirit and soul and body' may
'be preserved blame less unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ'
(1 Thessalonians5: 23).
We believe in the immortality of the soul; in
the resurrection of the body; in the general judgement at the end of the world; in the
eternal happiness of the righteous; and in the endless punishment of the wicked.
