What We Believe

The entire Bible, Old and New Testament, was written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is the final authority for everything we believe and teach.

There is one God, the eternal Creator of everything seen and unseen: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, three persons, one God.

Jesus is the Son of God, God revealed in the flesh, who took away our sins and is the Saviour of the world.

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, equal in power and glory with the Father and the Son, at work in regeneration and sanctification.

A godly sorrow for sin, and a decision to turn from it.

By God’s grace, we are cleansed of our sins and made able to stand before Him.

The ongoing cleansing of a believer’s life through faith in the blood of Christ, continuing after new birth.

Believers are baptised by immersion in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as an outward sign of a heart already turned to Christ.

Born-again believers are invited to seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit, received with the accompanying sign of speaking in tongues.

We pray in the name of Jesus, and are called to pray without ceasing.

We obey the law of the land and honour our parents, elders and those God has placed in leadership over us.

Marriage is honourable, instituted by God as one husband and one wife, for life.

We avoid swearing, cursing and idle talk, and we aim to owe no one anything, living within our means.

We believe in healing through prayer, the laying on of hands and faith in God, not as a replacement for wise care for the body, but alongside it.

Instituted by Jesus himself, believers gather regularly to share the bread and the cup in remembrance of Him.

Everyone born again is part of the Church of God, sent to carry the Gospel to their generation.

Parents bring their children before the church for dedication, entrusting them to God from their earliest days.

Sunday is set apart as a special day of worship and rest for believers.

Jesus will return, visibly and physically, first to gather His Church, and again to judge the world.

The dead will be raised, and all will stand before God: believers to eternal life with Christ, and a final judgement for all.

God will make all things new, a home for holiness for ever.
