Statement of Faith

The work of the Holy Spirit in regenerating the sinner and indwelling, sanctifying and empowering the believer. The Devil The personality of the devil; his evil activity and final doom. Man The creation of man in the image of God; the entrance of sin through Adam's disobedience; the fallen and totally depraved state of all men; their subjection to God's wrath and condemnation; their responsibility to repent and believe the Gospel.

The justification of the sinner by God's grace through faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ; the eternal security of the believer. The local church as a company of baptised believers gathered under the headship of Christ for worship, fellowship, instruction and evangelism; the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's supper: baptism being the immersion of believers on profession of their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and as a symbol of their identification with Him in His death, burial and resurrection; the Lord's supper being a remembrance of Christ until He comes and a renewal of commitment to Him; the offices of deacon; the gifts of evangelist and pastor-teacher; the priesthood of all believers and their unity in the Body of Christ; The Future State. The unconditional immortality of the soul; the resurrection of the body; the eternal joy in heaven of the believer; the conscious eternal punishment in hell of those who die impenitent. Christian Behaviour. The responsibility of all believers to obey and serve the Lord and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives; the duty of each church to exercise godly discipline in a loving and caring fashion.
