We
believe….
… in one
true and living God, Eternal Father, Son and
Holy Spirit who is the creator and sustainer of all things,
and
therefore the Lord of everything and everyone.
(Gen
1:1,Col 1:16, Mt 28:19).
….in
Jesus Christ, the Eternal Son of God who gave
Himself in love to
take the consequences of humanities’
rejection of God, and offers
right relationship with God to
all who rely on Him for salvation. (Jn
1:1, Rom 3:21-23).
….in the Holy Spirit,
who brings spiritual life helping us
to see clearly what Jesus has done for us,
and takes up
residence in everyone who believes, adopting them
as
God’s children, and enabling them to live
for Jesus as their
king. (Rom 8:14-16, Gal 5:22-23).
….the
Bible is God’s words to us given through
human authors, inspired by the Holy Spirit, for our
instruction, encouragement and spiritual growth,
(2 Pet
1:19-21, 2 Tim 3:16-17).
….in the
church, the gathering together of all who
have faith in Jesus Christ, to celebrate who God is and
what He has done, to listen to His word and to encourage
each other in following Him. (Col 3:15-17,Heb 10:24-25).
… in the
return of Jesus, who comes to gather
together all who have loved
him throughout history,
judge those who reject Him, and to restore
all things to
their proper order.(1 Thess 4:15-18, Acts 17:30-31)
….in the
practice of Baptism and the Lords supper,
in which we publicly
testify to our relationship with God
through Jesus Christ. (1 Cor
11:23-26, Mt 28:18-20,
Acts 2:41).
