OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe that God eternally co-equally exists in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that these three are one God. 

Through Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit, we believe that God created and govern all that exists. He created man and woman in His own image and has commissioned them to exercise dominion over His creation. 

We believe the Bible, in its entirety as originally given, to be inspired by the Holy Spirit, without error and the infallible, authoritative Word of God. 

We believe that by willfully sinning against God, humankind fell into rebellion against God. Since the fall, all humankind is born in sin and subject to God’s wrath and captive to Satan’s kingdom of darkness. Humankind’s only escape from this satanic bondage is to biblically repent of sins, appropriate the sacrificial blood of Jesus as the required ransom for their sins, and surrender to the Lordship of Jesus, be baptised and continue to fulfil the command given by our Lord Jesus Christ to go forth and make disciples of all nations. 

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, who became the substitution and atoning sacrifice through His shed blood on the cross for the forgiveness of sins. We believe in His soon coming personal return in power and glory to receive His Church. Jesus came to earth to redeem that which was lost (Luke 19:10). We believe that all Christian activity should have a redemptive and transformational purpose. 

Salvation (a born again conversion experience) is an incredible opportunity made available to all humankind. To take advantage of this opportunity, we believe in the necessity of biblical repentance, the personal appropriation of the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and surrender to the Lordship of Jesus. When this is sincerely done, the sinner is pardoned and accepted as righteous in God’s sight. We believe that Christ can only become our Savior by making Him Lord of our life. We believe that faith without accompanying spiritual or physical works is dead. We are called to a life of discipleship and holiness in joyful obedience to Jesus Christ.

According to God’s Word, we believe we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and not by our efforts or works.

We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. We believe that the Holy Spirit makes available everything believers need to live a godly and holy life and accomplish everything He asks us to do. We believe in the full operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit within the Church according to God’s Word. 

We believe that the Church is commissioned to preach the Gospel to the world and disciple the nations. We believe in the practical application of the Christian faith in everyday life and the need to minister to people everywhere and in every area of their lives, which includes not only the spiritual but also the social, commercial, political and physical.

We believe that all authority and dominion flows from Jesus Christ, who has delegated His authority to various governmental spheres among mankind, including self, family, church, corporate and civil. Each believer has been divinely assigned a sphere of influence that they must bring under the dominion of Christ. 

We believe that no public official or corporate officer can function effectively without the knowledge of God’s will as revealed in His Word. His every purpose must be to establish or further the Kingdom of Jesus on earth. 

We believe that Christ Himself has bestowed upon certain men and women of His choosing the spiritual gifting of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers. These five offices constitute the eldership of the Church whose function is to cooperate in spiritually equipping and activating believers for effective service in every sphere of life, including the marketplace, political, education, media, arts, family and church. The work of the eldership is to establish spiritual unity and the priesthood of all believers in Christ. Their objective is to establish the Kingdom of God on earth.
