What We Believe:

Every person desiring to become or remain a member of this Church shall subscribe to the following Articles of Faith, without reservation.

I.  The Scriptures

- We believe that the Bible, composed of the Old and New Testaments, is verbally inspired of God, and inerrant in the original writings, and is the supreme and final authority of faith and life. (II Tim. 3:16-17;  II Peter  1:19-21).

II. The True God

- We believe in one God, creator of Heaven and Earth, eternally existing and manifesting Himself to us in three persons — the Father,  the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Gen  1:1; John 4:24; John 16:23-29).

III.  The Lord Jesus Christ

- We believe in Jesus Christ,  the only begotten Son of God; the eternal Word manifested in the flesh:  That He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.  We believe in His vicarious, substitutionary and redeeming death for the penalty of man’s sin:   We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension, and His personal, imminent and pre-millennial return. (John  3:16; 1:1-3, 14; Luke 1:31-55; I Thess. 4:13-17).

IV. The Holy Spirit 

- We believe in the Holy Spirit, in His personality, that He is God; and we believe that His Work is to convict men of sin; to regenerate, indwell and set the believer apart to a holy life; to keep and empower the believer day by day.  We believe that He is the Teacher of God’s Word and the Guide of the daily life. (John 14:26; 16:7-15).

V. Man 

- We believe that  man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred spiritual death; that in consequence all have sinned, are guilty and lost, and absolutely incapable of saving themselves by their own works, being dead in trespasses and sins. (Gen. 1:  27; 2:17;  Rom. 5:12; Titus 3:5).

VI.  The way of Salvation

- We believe that we are saved only by grace through faith in the shedding of Christ’s blood for the remission of sins, guaranteed to us by His resurrection from among the dead. (Rom. 3:24-26;   4:5, 24-25; Eph. 2:8,9).

VII. Eternal Destiny  

- We believe that all men by nature and by choice are sinners but that “God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life:” we believe, therefore, that those who accept Christ as their Lord and Saviour will rejoice forever in God’s presence, and those who refuse to accept Christ as Lord and Saviour will forever be separated from God. (John 3:16; Matt. 25:41-46; Rev. 20:11-15).

VIII.  The True Church

- We believe in the True Church — a living, spiritual body of which Christ is the head and of which all regenerated people are members.  We believe that a Visible Church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a credible confession of faith and associated for worship, work and fellowship; that it is the responsibility and privilege of all who are believers to seek to win others to Christ, to the “uttermost part of the earth”  (John 3:3-5; I Cor. 12:13; Acts 1:8; 2:41-47).

IX. Believer's Baptism 

- We believe that baptism is the immersion of a believer in water, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit;  setting forth the essential facts in redemption — the death and resurrection of Christ; also the essential facts in the experience of believer - death to sin and resurrection to newness of life. (Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 8:36-37; Rom. 6:1-14).

X. The Lord's Supper 

- We believe the Scriptures teach that the Lord’s Supper is a provision of bread and the fruit of the vine, as symbols of Christ’s body and blood, partaken of by all believers in commemoration of the suffering and death of their Lord until He comes. (Matt. 26:26-29; I Cor. 11:23-26).

XI.  Satan

- We believe that Satan is a person,  the author of the fall, and that he shall be eternally punished. (Gen. 3:1-7; John 8:44; I John 3:8; Rev. 20:10).

XII. Church and State 

- We believe that every human being is responsible to God  alone in all matters of faith; that each Church is independent and autonomous and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that, therefore, Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from the dictation or patronage of the other. (Rom. 13:1-8; Acts 5:29).

Our Covenant:

Having been, as we trust, brought by divine grace to embrace the Lord Jesus Christ, and to give ourselves wholly to Him, we do now solemnly and joyfully covenant with each other to WALK TOGETHER IN HIM, WITH BROTHERLY LOVE, to His glory as our common Lord. We do, therefore, in His strength engage
