Our mission
Our vision
Our beliefs
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return to power and glory.
We believe regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for the salvation of lost and sinful human beings; salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. The saved will be raised to eternal life with God, and the lost will be raised to face judgment and eternal condemnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.
