We believe that the Jesus of history and the Christ of Glory are the same Person.

We believe, because of the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ, that God freely forgives those who are brought to repentance and faith in His Son.

We believe that all who are justified by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.

We believe (i) in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, by which believers are empowered and equipped for service, (ii) in the gifts and in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, and (iii) in the God-given ministries of the Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher.

We believe in the resurrection both of the just and the unjust, the eternal blessedness of the redeemed, and the eternal damnation of those who have rejected God’s offer of salvation in Jesus Christ.

We believe that the one true and universal Church consists of those who have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy Spirit; that the local church should be the expression of the one true and universal Church and therefore that the new birth and personal confession of faith in Christ are essentials of Church membership.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed the two sacraments of baptism in water and the Lord’s supper, to be observed as acts of obedience and as perpetual witnesses to the Christian faith; that baptism is the immersion of the believer in water as confession of identification with Christ in His burial and resurrection, and that the Lord’s Supper is the partaking of the emblems which symbolize the broken body and shed blood of Christ, in remembrance of His sacrificial death until He comes.

We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ in power and glory to judge the living and the dead.

We believe that our proclamation of the Gospel must be exemplified in a life of holiness and love otherwise our testimony loses credibility.

We believe we must demonstrate God’s love visibly by caring for those who are deprived of justice, dignity, food and shelter.

We believe that the proclamation of God’s Kingdom of justice and peace demands the denunciation of all injustice and oppression, both personal and structural, and we will not shrink from this prophetic witness.

We believe that we who claim to be members of the Body of Christ must transcend within our fellowship the barriers of race, gender and class.

We believe that it is our duty to study the society in which we live in order to understand its structures, values and needs, and to develop appropriate strategies for evangelism, missions and prophetic witness.

We believe that there is an urgent need for us to engage in evangelism and social action in co-operation with other churches, mission agencies and Christian organizations, and we repudiate competition.

We affirm our solidarity with those who suffer for the Gospel, and will seek both to prepare ourselves for the same possibility, and to work for religious and political freedom everywhere.

In our relationship with our families

We value the God-given institution of marriage as a sacred and enduring covenant between a husband and wife that is to model the love of Christ for His Church.

We value Biblical courtship as foundational to marriage, our calling to defend and protect God’s marriage design and to minister to those who suffer the consequences of its brokenness.

We value the createdness of humanity as intentionally male and female to bring complementary sexuality to relationships, as a gift to be offered back to God in marriage, or celibacy, in devotion to Christ.

We value the transformation of our communities, cities and nations in the redemptive callings they have through the unity of Christ’s body.

In our relationship with broader society

We value the sanctity of all human life, from conception, to be created in the image of God, to be of inestimable worth, and our call to defend and protect it.

We value the God-given institutions of Family, Church and State and their biblical mandate to serve mankind and so prayfully submit to them in obedience to Christ.

We value righteousness, justice, peace and joy as the foundations of Christ’s Kingdom.

We value being culturally relevant while remaining doctrinally pure in the Christian virtues of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control and integrity in all our dealings with our society.
