There is One God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God: We believe in one eternal and changeless God, Creator and Sustainer of man and the universe, perfect in all His ways, Holy and infinite. He has always existed in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, uniquely identified, yet of one substance, equal in power and glory. Holy Scripture: We believe that t
he Bible is in itself, in the original, the inerrant written record of God's intervention with man, and that God spoke ethrough the personalities of those He called for the purpose of recording His Word. We believe that the Bible is the believer's only infallible written guide to christian conduct, commitment and mature faith, and is to be understood within its historical and cultural framework interpreted by the Holy Spirit. Man's Sin: We believe that man exercised his God-given free will in rebellion against God, and as a result, fell from grace. Further, we believe that through man's estrangement from God, sin will continue until the time appointed by God for final judgment. Redemption: We bellieve that redemption is possible only through God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who discharged, by the shedding of His own blood, the full penalty of our sin. Justification: We believe that justification is by faith, and that it leads to, but does not proceed from good works. Baptism in the Holy Spirit: We believe that, like the apostles, we are called to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, along with the gifts which He bestows upon each believer for ministry and for the edification and strengthening of the body of Christ. Church: We bellieve in the universal church comprised of all who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. We believe, further, that God places believers within local assemblies (branches of the universal church). Ministry: We believe in the priesthood of all believers, and that those whom God calls to be Pastors are to be recognized through ordination. He will come to remove believers from the earth and will return to earth in glory. He will rule and reign on earth for a thousand years, and there wil be a final judgmement of unbelievers after which all men will reside forever in heaven or hell.
