The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
Psalm 103:8
Beliefs
Bible
We believe that the Bible is the complete Word of God; the sixty-six books as originally written, comprising the Old and New Testaments which were inspired by the Holy Spirit and are entirely free from error; moreover the Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice, and the true basis of Christian union.
God
We believe in one God, Creator of all, holy, sovereign, eternal, existing in three equal Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Christ
We believe in the absolute and essential deity of Jesus Christ, in His eternal existence with the Father in pre-incarnate glory, in His virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, triumphant ascension, mediatorial ministry and personal return.
Holy Spirit
We believe in the absolute and essential deity and personality of the Holy Spirit he convinces of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement. The Holy Spirit gives gifts, fruit, offices, ministries, signs and wonders. He regenerates, sanctifies, illuminates, comforts, and so much more, as He anoints us with divine power.
Satan
We believe that Satan exists as an evil personality, the originator of sin, the archenemy of God and man.
Man
We believe that man was divinely created in the image of God; that he sinned, becoming guilty before God, resulting in total depravity, thereby incurring physical and spiritual death.
Salvation
We believe that salvation is by the sovereign electing grace of God; that by the appointment of the Father, Christ voluntarily suffered a vicarious expiatory and propitiatory death; that justification is by faith alone in the all sufficient sacrifice and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and that those whom God has effectually called shall be divinely preserved and finally perfected in the image of the Lord.
Future Things
We believe in the personal, bodily and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ; in the resurrection of the just and unjust; in the eternal blessedness of the redeemed and in the judgment and conscious, eternal punishment of the wicked.
