📖 Statement of Faith & Guiding Principles

We meet together as Christians who gather in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The purposes of the statement of faith and guiding principles are to :

• (1) promote sound Biblical doctrine and practice of the assembly (Titus 2:1 and I Timothy 3:15)
• (2) establish a Biblical order for all meetings and practices ( Titus 1:5 and I Timothy 3:15)
• (3) promote unity (I Corinthians 1:10)
• (4) remind us of those things which we have believed (II Peter 1:12-13; 3:1-2)

✝️ Statement of Faith

(1) We believe the Bible is the declaration of those “things which are most surely believed among us” (Luke 1:1). The Bible is inspired by God (II Peter 1:21, II Timothy 3:16, Matthew 5:18) and is His revealed Word, and will to man (I Thess. 2:13). The Scriptures are without error in the original documents. The Complete Word of God is not exclusive to any translation. It is our supreme and final authority and guide in all matters of faith and practice (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 119:105, Matt. 4:4, II Timothy 3:15). God has preserved His eternal Word for us (Ps. 119:89) and therefore we should obey it.

(2) There is one God (Deut. 6:4) eternally existing (Deut. 33:27) in three persons (Matt. 28:19); Father (Ephesians 4:6), Son (John 1:1,14) and Holy Spirit (Hebrews 9:14; Acts 5:3,4; II Corinthians 13:14).

(3) God the Son entered human history as a man— Christ Jesus (I Timothy 3:16). He was born of the virgin Mary (Luke 1:35) having been supernaturally conceived by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:20). While here upon earth, Jesus was, in one personality, both truly God and truly man (John 10:33, Phil.2:5-7). While on earth He lived a perfect and sinless life and then died on the cross having offered Himself without spot to God as the sacrifice for our sins (I Peter 2:24). He rose bodily from the dead (Luke 24:39) and ascended to His Father’s right hand in Heaven (Ephesians 1:20), there to appear as our Great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-16; 9:24).

(4) We believe that man was created innocent by God (Gen. 1:26-27) and that he deliberately sinned and incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death which is separation from God. Even though all human beings are created in the image of God they are born with a sinful nature (Romans 3:23; 5:12; Gen. 1:26-27; 9:6; James 3:9).

Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of man (Titus 3:5, Romans 8:9).

Redemption is solely by the blood of Christ (Hebrews 9:12-14, I Peter 1:18-19).

Salvation is by grace, through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8,9; Acts 4:10-12; Acts 16:31).

Every true child of God possesses eternal life and is safe for all eternity (John 3:16; 5:24; 10:27-29).

All believers are indwelt by the Holy Spirit who seals them unto the day of redemption (Eph 1:13-14; 4:30).

(5) We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust(John 5:28,29; I Corinthians 15:51-55; Dan. 12:2, Rev. 20:12,13), the everlasting blessedness of the saved (Philippians 1:23; Rev. 22:4-5), and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost (Rev. 20:10; Matthew 25:46; Luke 16:19-31). We believe that there is life after death and that preparation for eternity must be made before death (Hebrews 9:27-28).

(6) We believe in the personal, pre-tribulation (before the seven year tribulation period begins), imminent return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to receive His church (I Thess. 4:14-18; Titus 2:13; Acts 1:11; Hebrews 9:28), and that believers are saved from wrath to come (Romans 5:9; I Thess. 1:10; 5:9; Rev. 3:10).

(7) The church, referred to as the Body and Bride of Christ (Ephesians 1:22,23; 5:22-23) is composed of all persons who truly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour. Every believer is baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit (I Cor. 12:12-27; Gal. 3:27; Col.1:24). Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church (Col. 1:18; Eph. 5:23,24) and the church is subject unto Christ.

(8) We observe the two ordinances left by the Lord Jesus Christ for His people:

a) Baptism by Immersion (Matthew 28:19: Acts 2:41). Baptism is for believers upon confession of their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ ( Acts 8:35-39; Rom. 6:3-5).

b) The Lord’s Supper (Luke 22:19-20; I Cor. 11:23-30).
