Our Beliefs

Triune God.

We believe in one God who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each person of the Trinity is fully God, yet distinct in their roles and functions. (Matthew 28: 19; 1 Corinthians 8:6; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

Holy Scripture.

We accept the Holy Bible’s teachings as the final authority on issues of faith, doctrine and practice because we recognize it as the inspired and inerrant Word of God. We reaffirm our steadfast commitment to the teachings of the Saviour, Jesus Christ, and His atoning death on the cross. (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

We are committed to a true interpretation and application of the Scriptures. We acknowledge the Gospel’s transformational power, which grants salvation, pardon, and eternal life to everyone who believes. (Romans 1:16; Romans 10:17).

Creation

We affirm the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death and acknowledge each person’s worth and dignity according to Biblical and Holy design as male and female. (Genesis 1:27; Genesis 3:19; Genesis 5:2; John 1:3).

Salvation and Sanctification

Salvation
We believe that salvation is received by confessing Jesus as Lord and Saviour and believing that God raised Him from the dead. (Romans 10:9-11).

Sanctification
The Bible teaches that without holiness, no man can see the Lord. We believe in the doctrine of Sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation at Christ’s return. (Hebrews 12:14; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Philippians 3:12-14; 1 Corinthians 1:30).

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. He is co-equal, co-eternal, and co-existent with the Father, and with the Son. His ministry upon the earth is to convict and convert man as well as be the great paraclete (comforter, counsellor, helper, intercessor, advocate, strengthening, and standby) to the Church.

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus to all believers and it received subsequent to and in addition to the New Birth. The initial evidence of speaking with other tongues, as well as other manifestations, described in Acts 2, accompanies this experience. Whereas there is one initial baptism, there are many subsequent infillings of the Spirit. The purpose of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is so that we, the believers, may have the power to be witnesses here on earth. (Acts 1:5; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:16-17; Matthew 3:11; John 14:16-17; John 16:13).

The Church

We dedicate ourselves to the work of reconciliation, sharing the good news of God’s love and grace with everyone and doing good deeds, acts of mercy and acts of justice for those who are in need. (2 Corinthians 5:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:11; Micah 6:8).

We strive to promote spiritual development, discipleship, and the strengthening of our relationship with God and humanity through the proclamation of the Gospel, the administration of the sacraments and the diligent study of the Holy Scripture. (Matthew 28:19-20; 2 Timothy 2:15).

We make an intentional commitment to worship God in Truth by way of Scripture and Spirit, expressing our love for Him through sincere adoration, intercession, and gratitude. (John 4:24; Ephesians 5:17-21; Psalms 33:1-3; Psalms 92:1-3).

We believe the church is a house of prayer and worship. And we are to value the gathering and fellowship on a regular basis. It is through these gatherings that we get to learn and be built up in His love and grow in serving one another. (Mark 11:17; Hebrews 10:25; Galatians 6:10; 1 Corinthians 10:31).

We acknowledge the church as a place for restoration and healing, providing solace and support to individuals in need. (Matthew 11:28-30; Psalms 42:1-2; 2 Corinthians 3:17).
