We Believe in ...

The one true God who lives eternally in three distinct but equal persons - the
Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The holiness, love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling,
redeeming and judging the world.

The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament
Scriptures, which in their entirety are the written Word of God - fully trustworthy
for faith and conduct.

The dignity of all people, made male and female in God's image to love, be holy
and responsible stewards of creation, yet since our rebellion and fall, subject to sin
and death.

The incarnation of God's eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ - born of the virgin
Mary, truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.

The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of
sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.

The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to
the Father, and his reign as the only saviour and mediator of the world.

The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith alone in
Christ.

The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with
Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.

The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all
believers-given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit's gifts to worship
God and make disciples who promote justice and love.

The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who
will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal
condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.
