1.1 THE BIBLE

We believe that the Bible is inspired by God.

1.2 GOD

We believe the Godhead is eternally co-equal and co-existent in three persons; not three Gods but one; not one Person but three, namely the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

1.3 JESUS CHRIST

We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the virgin, Mary. Thus we uphold His absolute deity as well as His complete humanity; two natures but one undivided Person.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

1.4 THE RESURRECTION

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and that He ascended into Heaven where He is now seated at the right hand of God, the position of power and authority. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead, both the saved and the lost, the former to everlasting life and the latter to everlasting damnation.

1.5 LORDSHIP

We confess the Lord Jesus Christ and no other, as Head of the Church, and as our Lord.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

1.6 THE SECOND ADVENT OF CHRIST

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will manifest Himself in glory, majesty and power and in physical presence. This is the second coming of Christ and the blessed hope of the Church.

1.7 THE FALL

Every individual has sinned and is guilty before God. Man by nature is depraved and incapable of saving his own soul.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

1.8 REDEMPTION

The Lord Jesus Christ, by His life, death, resurrection and ascension, has made available to all mankind the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. These blessings are made personally real to the individual, not by works, or by any personal merit in themselves, but by faith alone, which is accompanied by repentance.

1.9 THE NEW BIRTH

We believe in the necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit in the New Birth, which makes a sinner a child of God.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

1.10 THE CHURCH

We believe that the true Church consists of the community of true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, who by faith have had their sins forgiven and been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. We believe in the Fellowship of all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, recognising that the true Church is not confined to any one denomination.

1.11 BAPTISM

We believe in the baptism, by immersion, of believers only.

1.12 THE LORD'S SUPPER

We believe in the Breaking of Bread as commanded by our Lord Jesus Christ and as practiced by the Early Church.
