The following is a summary of our beliefs:
• The full inspiration of the Bible, its authority and sufficiency as not only containing, but being itself, the Word of God; the reliability of the New Testament in its testimony to the character and authorship of the Old Testament, and the need of the teaching of the Holy Spirit for a true and spiritual understanding of the whole.
• The unity of the Godhead and the divine co-equality of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; the sovereignty of God in creation, providence and redemption.
• The need of man's regeneration as a result of the fall, and his inherited sinful nature.
• The Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His real and perfect manhood, the authority of His teaching and the infallibility of His utterances, His work of atonement for sinners by His vicarious sufferings and death, His bodily resurrection and His ascension into heaven, and His present priestly intercession for His people.
• The justification of the sinner solely by faith through the atoning merits of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
• The necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit in regeneration, sanctification, ministry and worship.
• The ordinances of Believers' Baptism and the Lord's Supper as being instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ.
• The personal, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ in great power and glory.
• The resurrection of the body and the judgement of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ. Those who have trusted in Christ as Lord shall be raised to be with Him forever. Those who have not believed will be subject to everlasting destruction and separation from the Lord's presence.
