The Tenets of the Church

The Bible: We believe the Holy Scriptures are divinely inspired and the final authority for our faith and life (2 Timothy 3:16).

The One True God: We believe in one God, the Creator, who exists as a Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).

Man's Depraved Nature: We believe all humanity has sinned, fallen short of God’s glory, and is in need of salvation (Romans 3:23).

The Saviour: We believe humanity’s need for a Saviour was met in Jesus Christ, who was crucified for our sins, resurrected, and now intercedes for us (John 3:16; Romans 8:34).

Repentance, Regeneration, Justification & Sanctification: We believe all must repent and be justified by faith in Jesus Christ, which begins a lifelong process of sanctification (Acts 2:38; Romans 5:1).

The Ordinances (Sacraments) of the Church: We believe in Water Baptism by immersion and the regular commemoration of the Lord’s Supper (Matthew 28:19; Luke 22:19-20).

Baptism, Gifts & Fruit of the Holy Spirit: We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, and the operation of spiritual gifts and fruit (Acts 2:4; Galatians 5:22-23).

Divine Healing: We believe that healing for sickness is provided for in Christ’s atonement and is a privilege for all believers (Isaiah 53:4-5; 1 Peter 2:24).

Tithes and Offerings: We believe in tithing and giving free-will offerings to support the Kingdom of God (Malachi 3:10; Luke 6:38).

The Second Coming and the Next Life: We believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and a final judgment (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

Marriage and Family life: We believe marriage is a lifelong covenant ordained by God between one man and one woman, forming the foundation of the family and society.
