Basis of Faith

We believe:

in God the Father; maker of heaven and earth and creator of man;

in Jesus Christ His son; His virgin birth; His perfect manhood; the authority of all his teaching; His work of atonement by His suffering and death; His bodily resurrection and ascension into heaven; His priestly intercesssion for his people at the right hand of the Father; and his certain personal return in glory;

in the Holy Spirit, Comforter, Advocate and Teacher, by whom came conviction of sin, regeneration and sanctification;

in the unity of the Godhead and the Divine co-equality of Father, Son and holy Spirit

We believe:

in the full inspiration of the Holy Scriptures and their supreme authority and sufficiency in all matters of faith and doctrine;

the sinful nature of man in consequence of the fall, rendering him subject to God's wrath;

the redemption of humanity through individual faith in Christ and his atoning work;

the claims of Christ as Lord and King in all paths of life;

the resurrection of all humanity, both the just and the unjust, to the final judgement of God.

We practice:

the Ordinance of the Lord's Supper as Christ commanded in remembrance of Him and His redeeming love;

the Ordinance of Believer's Baptism by immersion in obedience to the command and example of our Lord and as a testimony to faith.
