Jos 1:8: Ps 19:7-11; Matt 5:17-19; 2 Tim 3:16-17; 2 Pet 1:21

We believe that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the divinely inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings and the true and final authority of all Christian faith and life. There are no other writings similarly inspired by God.

Deut 6:4; Isa 48:16; Matt 28:19; Jas 2:19

We believe that there is but one God, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three possess the same nature, attributes, and glory, but are distinct in office and activity.

John 4:24; Isa 44:6)

We believe that God the Father is an infinite and personal spirit—perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love. He concerns himself mercifully in the affairs of human beings. He hears and answers prayer, and he saves from sin and death all those who come to him in faith through Jesus Christ.

1 John 5:20; Luke 1:35; Matt 1:20; 1 Pet 1:18-19; Rom 4:25; Eph 2:8-9; Heb 4:14

We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man—God's only begotten son—conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life. He performed miracles and taught with wisdom and authority. He died an atoning death as a substitute for our sins. He was raised bodily from the grave, appeared to many, ascended into heaven where he perpetually intercedes for his people. He will return to the earth in a visible and personal way.

Eph 1:13-14; 4:30; 5:18; John 14:16-18; 16:8-14; Rom 8:9; Gal. 5:18

We believe that people are created in the image of God but all have sinned. Every member of the human race is separated from God, and is by nature sinful and lost. Since the beginning of time, God has revealed himself for people to respond by faith. Jesus came to redeem the human race. Salvation is entirely of God’s grace, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone. Believers are all people who have received Jesus Christ as their Saviour and follow him as their Lord, are indwelled by the Holy Spirit, and have become children of God.

Gen 1:27; Rom 3:23; 5:12; Titus 3:5; Eph 2:8-9; 1 Pet 1:5; Rom 1:20; Heb 1:1-3, 11: 3-18, 39-40

We believe that people are created in the image of God but all have sinned. Every member of the human race is separated from God, and is by nature sinful and lost. Since the beginning of time, God has revealed himself for people to respond by faith. Jesus came to redeem the human race. Salvation is entirely of God’s grace, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone. Believers are all people who have received Jesus Christ as their Saviour and follow Him as their Lord, are indwelled by the Holy Spirit, and have become children of God.

Matt 28:19-20; 1 Cor 11:23-28; 12:12-27; Gal 3:27-28; Eph 1:22-23

We believe that all believers are part of the body of Christ: the church. The local church shall recognize and exercise godly leadership. With Jesus Christ as the Lord and head, each local expression of the church has the responsibility to govern its own affairs for the purpose of extending Christ’s kingdom in the world. Each believer is to fulfill God’s calling in their particular situation and circumstances.

Acts 2:41-42; 1 Cor 11:23-26; Rom 6:1-4; Col 2:12

We believe that baptism and communion are ordinances to be observed today. Believer's baptism illustrates the union of a believer with Christ in his death and resurrection, and publicly declares a personal commitment to him. Communion is a celebration in which believers fellowship together, worship the Lord, proclaim his life, death, and resurrection, and anticipate his return. All believers are welcome to participate in this communion. Baptism and communion are not to be regarded as a means of salvation, but rather a symbol of God’s gracious action towards us.

John 14:1-6; Acts 1:11; 1 Thess 4:14-18; Titus 2:13; Rev. 19:11- 20:6, 12-13; Phil 1:23; 2 Thess 1:8-9

We believe that Jesus Christ soon will return physically and personally to the earth. His return is the fulfillment of the blessed hope set before the believer. He will receive his believing people to himself and will visibly establish his kingdom. All those who have died will experience the bodily resurrection of the dead: the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, and the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting separation from God.

(Matt 28:18-20; Luke 24: 45-48; John 20:21; Acts 1:7-8; 2 Cor 5:18-20; Matt 5-13-16)

We believe that all believers are ambassadors of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through their words, character, conduct and service, they are called to represent the Lord Jesus Christ, and proclaim his message in all the world.
