Statement of Faith Back to top of page
We believe
- The inspiration of the Bible, equally in all
parts and without error in its origin, to be the Word of God and the
infallible rule of faith and conduct.
- The one God, eternally existent Father, Son and
Holy Spirit, Creator of all things, who created man by a direct,
immediate act.
- The pre-existence, incarnation, virgin birth,
sinless life, miracles, substitutionary death, burial, bodily
resurrection, ascension to Heaven, and the second coming of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Who is presently seated at the right hand of God, the
Father, and is true God and man.
- The fall of man, the need of regeneration by the
operation the Holy Spirit on the basis of grace alone, and the
resurrection of all to life or damnation.
- The personal salvation of believers through the
shed blood of Jesus Christ.
- The sanctification of believers in the Lord
Jesus Christ through the word of god by the Holy Spirit in personal
holiness of heart and life.
- The divine healing, through faith in the Name of
Jesus Christ, that is included in the atonement.
- The baptism of the Holy Spirit as distinct from
the new birth, with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit of
God gives utterance, and in the fruit of the Spirit and the gifts of the
Spirit and their availability to all believers.
- The evangelizing and witnessing of God's saving
grace through the ministry of the Holy Spirit in accordance with the
Christian Commission of Matthew 28.19.

Who are
we? Back to top of page
We are a fellowship of believers, denominationally
unaffiliated, seeking to recognize and fellowship with all of God's
people, working toward the unity and edification of the whole Body of
christ, locally and world wide.
Our vision is express in three distinct, yet
inter-locking ways.
Worship We are called
to worship our Saviour Jesus Christ fervently and intimately, presenting
ourselves as living sacrifices in prayer, worship and
lifestyle.
Body Life We are committed to minister to
fellow-believers, in the Body-at-large through service and training, and
particularily in the context of small groups where care, ministry, prayer
and study can occur on a more intimate level.
Mission We are called to manifest the love
of God through service and evangelism, firstto the local community and
then to the world.
