WHAT WE BELIEVE

God

We believe in one eternal God who is Creator of all things and exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God is love. His love is full of light and is completely holy.

Humanity

We believe God created and values every person. God has given everyone gifts, abilities, desires and dreams. We believe that all of mankind is separated from God because of sin. Mankind is sinful by nature and nothing we can do will redeem us from our sin. We deserve eternal punishment for our sin against a pure and holy God.

The Cross

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only one who can reconcile us to God. Jesus came to earth and lived a sinless life. On earth Jesus demonstrated a life of perfect connection to God, displaying God’s power and love on earth. Jesus then died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins, and rose again to defeat sin and death and to give us eternal life and empower us for life here on earth.

Salvation

We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and ‘new birth’ we must repent of our sins, believe in Jesus as our saviour, making him the Lord of our lives. 

Water Baptism

We believe that after becoming a believer the next step is to be baptised in water. In water baptism, we identify with the death and resurrection of Jesus. We rise from the  waters of baptism into new life.

Holy Spirit

We believe in being baptised with the power of the Holy Spirit and living in a lifelong relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit transforms, heals, leads and guides us. We need to be continually filled and sustained by the Holy Spirit, growing in the fruits of the Spirit. He enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues, physical healing and miracles.

Jesus

We believe that Jesus as both fully God and full man completed the work of salvation at the cross and is now seated in heaven. Jesus has power and authority over all things which he passes on to us. We live resting in him and by his grace. Our identity is found in Christ Jesus.

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is God’s Word and reveals Jesus to us. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives.

The Church

We believe that the Church is represented by many local expressions of the body of Christ. The Church is made up of everyone who has faith in Jesus. The mission of the church is to take the good news of the kingdom to the whole world and to make disciples in order to bring glory to God.
