What we believe...
About God
We believe in the three persons of God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Three-in-One and One-in-Three. The Holy Trinity. God is the creator of all things.
About Jesus Christ
We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He is fully God and fully man. He died on the cross, bearing God's punishment for the sins of mankind. He rose from the dead and took his place with the Father in heaven.
About the Holy Spirit
We believe in the third person of the Trinity - the Holy Spirit, sent from heaven to glorify Christ and to build up the church, empowering its members for worship, service and mission.
About the Bible
We believe the Bible to be the inspired word of God and take it as the rule for our lives.
About the Church
We believe the universal church is the body of which Christ is the head and to which all who believe in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord belong.
About Salvation
Salvation is a free gift from God to all who repent of their sin and believe in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.
About the Future
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will return in glory. The dead will be raised and judgement will take place. God will make all things new.
