What we believe

Knowing Jesus and making Him known.

Jesus Christ 

Jesus Christ is full God and fully man.  He came to earth, was conceived of the virgin Mary and healed many who were afflicted with disease, sin and by the devil.  He was eventually crucified on a cross, died but rose again to life on the third day after his death.  Through his death and resurrection he took the sin of mankind upon himself; paid the price for sin on behalf of mankind so that all of us - regardless of culture and background - may know God personally.  Jesus opened the way for man who believe in Him, to live eternally with God.

Humanity Needs God 

All of humanity is sinful from birth as a result of the fall of man in the Garden of Eden.  God does not associate with evil, which means humanity was destined for eternal hell.  But God who is good and loving, yet uncompromising on evil, made a way for humanity to be re-united with Himself.  This was done by His Son, Jesus Christ.  He paid the price for our sin, which

was death.

The Trinity

God is one but in three persons.  This doctrine is a mystery but nevertheless true.  We believe in God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit, who are all one God in perfect unity.  

The Holy Spirit 

We believe that the Holy Spirit - God Himself - lives in every Christian from the moment they put their faith in Jesus.  That every Christian has the ability to live in and through the Holy Spirit and therefore being sanctified into the nature of God.  We also believe that the Holy Spirit empowers Christians through dispensing numerous gifts to continue the work of Jesus in this world, which in the Bible is called "The Kingdom"

The Bible

We believe that the Christian Bible is divinely inspired by God and is the infallible Word of God.  It has supreme authority over matters of doctrine and life for us today - as individuals and together as the Church.  

Baptism 

We believe that all Christians, once they put their faith in Jesus, should be baptised in water (full immersion) as a statement to others, themselves and even Satan that they are now "within Christ" and no longer in sin and death.

Communion 

Jesus Christ instructed his followers to always remember him through the breaking of bread.  We call this "communion" and regularly obey this ordinance in our meetings.

Apostolic Christianity 

Jesus Christ commanded that His Church go and make disciples of all nations (Matt 28). This instruction is encapsulated in the word "apostolic".  We are a Church that believes that we should work not only into our city but also into many nations of the world.  We firmly believe that this is a core part of how Christianity should be lived out.  This is why we also partner with a trans-local ministry team that works into many nations.
