Our Beliefs


We believe in the One True God - Father, Jesus Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit 
We agree with the Apostle Paul (Ephesians 2.4-6,8-10):

"God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)  For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus...

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.  Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.  For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."

We agree wholeheartedly with the Evangelical Alliance basis of faith 

 

Our Vision 

Our ongoing vision is the one given to the church by Jesus in Matthew 28.18-20: 

“18 Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
