The Living God
We believe God is Almighty, Eternal and unchanging. He is just and holy, gracious and merciful. He is the Creator and Ruler of all things, exercising sovereign power in Creation, Providence and Redemption, and is deserving of all glory and praise forever.

The Holy Trinity
We believe God is One, existing through all eternity in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Genesis

The Word of God
We believe God's greatness and holiness are such, that without His aid, man can neither understand God nor find the way to a right relationship with Him. In His mercy, however, God has made Himself known. He has done this partially through Creation, but more fully and clearly to the people of Israel and explicitly and finally in Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God and the Word of God incarnate. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as an originally given and divinely preserved record, interpret and complete God's special revelation to us. We therefore accept the Bible as not merely containing but being the divinely inspired and infallible Word of God written and the final and sufficient authority in all matters of Christian faith and life.

Satan
We believe Satan is a person, a malignant Spirit, the enemy of Jesus Christ and of the Saints, deceiving mankind; and has been condemned to eternal damnation.
1 Chronicles 21:1; Job 1:6,7,8; 2:1,2,3,6,7; Psalm 109:6; Matthew 4:10; Mark 1:13; 3:23; 4:15; Luke 4:8; John 13:27; Acts 5:3; Romans 16:20; 1 Corinthians 5:5; 1 Thessalonians 2:18; 2 Thessalonians 2:9; 1 Timothy 1:20; 5:15; Revelation 2:9,13,24; 3:9; 12:9; 20:2,7.see verses
Man the Sinner
We believe God created Man perfect, but after being tempted by Satan, man by his own free choice, disobeyed God and became a sinner. Man's whole nature is now corrupted by sin and his fellowship with God is broken.
Genesis 1:27,28; 2:17; 3:6,8,10,24; Job 14:4; Lam.3:39; Matthew 15:9; 25:41; John 3:6; Romans 2:14,15; 3:10-19; 5:6,12,19; 6:23; 7:7,8; Ephesians 2:1-3; 4:24; Colossians 3:10; James 1:14,15; Jude 7; 2 Timothy 2:26.see verses
Jesus the Saviour
We believe God can deal with man's sin and bring about a reconciliation with Himself. In God's great plan of Redemption, God the Son became man through the Incarnation. Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless human life and taught with divine authority. He suffered and died in the place of sinners, bearing their sin and its guilt and punishment. He thus sets free all believers from the domination of Satan and the corruption of their own sinful nature, and removes from them forever sin's lasting consequences.

The Grace of God
We believe God, by His Grace, forgives and reconciles to Himself all who turn to Him in true repentance, turning from sin and trusting in Christ's atoning death. God imputes to them the righteousness of Christ Himself and adopts them as His children.
John 1:12,16,17; Acts 2:37; 4:3; 15:11; Romans 1:5,7; 3:24; 4:4,16; 5:2,17,20; 11:5,6; 10:14,17; 3:28; 4:5; 10:10; 2 Corinthians 4:13; Galatians 3:11; 4:4,5; Ephesians 1:5,17,19; 2:5-8; Philippians 3:9; Titus 2:11; 3:7; Hebrews 10:29; 1 John 3:1 verses
The Risen Lord
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ was shown to be the Son Of God by His teaching, by His miracles and by His bodily resurrection from the dead. He has ascended in power and glory to the presence of God where He now pleads on behalf of those who call upon Him in truth.
Luke 24:39; John 10:18; 11:25; 14:19; Acts 2:24,27; Romans 1:4; 8:34; 6:9; 1 Corinthians 6:14; 15:20,21; Hebrews 2:14; Revelation 1:5,18 see verses
