What we believe

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, and that nobody can add or take away from it, except at their peril.

The Trinity

We believe that the Godhead eternally exists in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that these are one God.

The Church

We believe that the Church consists of all persons who had been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and made new creatures in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 1:13-14, 1 Corinthians 2:12-16

The Saviour

We believe that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that through the death and risen power of Christ all who believe can be saved from the penalty and power of sin.

The Coming King

We believe in the personal return of our Lord Jesus Christ to receive unto Himself the Church and afterwards to set up His throne as King.
