Sin and Salvation

We believe that God created man in His own Image; that man sinned and thereby incurred the penalty of death, physical and spiritual; that all human beings inherit a sinful nature which issues (in the case of those who reach moral responsibility) in actual transgression involving personal guilt.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice and that all who believe and trust in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.

We believe that all who repent of their sin, receive Jesus Christ, by faith, as Saviour and confess Him as Lord are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.

We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust, in the eternal blessedness of the children of God, and in the eternal banishment of all others.

Scripture

We believe in the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments in their original writing as fully inspired of God and accept them as the supreme and final authority for faith and life.

The Church

We believe that the one true church is the whole company of those who have been redeemed by Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy spirit; that the new birth and personal confession of Christ are therefore essentials of church membership and that the church on earth is the organism through which God says and does what He desires for His world.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed two ordinances – Baptism and the Lord’s Supper – to be observed as acts of obedience and as perpetual witnesses to the cardinal facts of the Christian faith.
