Ststements of Faith

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. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Ma

ry and is truly God and truly man. We believe that God created man in His own image; that man sinned and thereby incurred the penalty of sin which is 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 in the principle of heterosexual relationships between a natural man and a natural woman within the confines of lawful matrimony. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins a substitutionary sacrifice according to the Scriptures and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus, His ascension into Heaven, and His present life as our High Priest and Advocate. We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that all who repent of their sin and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, empowering and equipping believers for service, with the accompanying supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit, and in fellowship with the Holy Spirit. We believe in the divinely ordained ministries of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher. We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust, the eternal blessedness of the redeemed and the eternal banishment of those who have rejected the offer of salvation. We believe that Elders carry the responsibility for oversight and care of the staff and members of the church. Where necessary, Elders must carry out biblical discipline for the protection of the local 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 local church on earth should take its character from this conception of the church spiritually and therefore, that the new birth and personal confession of Christ are essentials of Church membership. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed two ordinances – Baptism in water and the Lord’s Supper – to be observed as acts of obedience and as perpetual witnesses to the cardinal facts of the Christian faith; that Baptism is the immersion of the believer in water as a confession of identification with Christ in burial and resurrection and that the Lord’s Supper is the partaking of the emblems symbolic of the Saviour’s broken body and shed blood, in remembrance of His sacrificial death, till He comes. We believe that divine healing was provided for in the Old Testament and is an integral part of the Gospel. We believe the Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the doctrine of sanctification as definite, yet a progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of the new birth and continuing until the consummation of salvation. The Church is open to any further truth, which the Holy Spirit may illuminate from the Scriptures.

2 Corinthians 5:6-9

This passage reflects a foundational Christian belief that our soul is immortal after death. It’s meant to offer comfort and encouragement to us as believers, affirming that death is not something to fear but a passage to a more profound union with Christ.

The assurance that to be "absent from the body" is to be "present with the Lord" provides every single believer a sense of peace and hope, particularly in times of loss or when facing their mortality. We are to value eternal things over temporal ones and focus on living a life that reflects our ultimate destiny to a life with God for eternity.

What does this verse mean for you? There are three realities that I want you to understand from this verse and the verses surrounding it, which will make this truth even more wonderful for you.

1. You are an eternal being.
The concept of eternity is difficult to grasp while we live in these earthly bodies. Have you ever tried to think about living forever? There comes a point where it stops making sense because that is not the reality we live with on this earth, where everything has a beginning and an ending. However, that is not true for you and me. We have a beginning, and in this life, we will have an ending unless Jesus comes before that, but even that ending is just another beginning. As Paul states here, when this body we live in gives way, we have an eternal one waiting for us.

2. There should be a longing for our eternal home.
As you go through life, especially if you face difficulties or real challenges in life, the longing for your eternal home intensifies.

3. You have the Holy Spirit, Who confirms your eternal residence.
The reason you can approach death and eternity with confidence and without fear is that God has placed the Holy Spirit within you.

Rest in Peace Mfundisi wam

What are God’s attributes? When we talk about the attributes of God, we are trying to answer questions like, Who is God, What is God like, and What kind of God is he? An attribute of God is something true about him. While fully comprehending who God is impossible for us as limited beings, God does...
