We
believe in...
1. The
one true God who lives eternally in three
persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
2.
The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating,
sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.
3.
The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the
Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the
written Word of God—fully trustworthy for faith and
conduct.
4.
The dignity of all people, made male and female in
God's image to love, be holy and care for creation,
yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and
judgement.
5.
The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus
Christ—born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and
truly human, yet without sin.
6.
The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying
in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating
evil, so reconciling us with God.
7. The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first
fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the
Father, and his reign and mediation as the only
Saviour of the world.
8.
The justification of sinners solely by the grace of
God through faith in Christ.
9.
The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to
repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth,
empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.
10.
The Church, the body of Christ both local and
universal, the priesthood of all believers—given
life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit's
gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel,
promoting justice and love.
11.
The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to
fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all
people to judgement, bring eternal life to the
redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and
establish a new heaven and new earth.
