We believe in one God: The Father Almighty, maker of heaven, earth, and all things visible and invisible; (1 Tim. 2:5) in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, Our Lord, who is one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; (Colossians 1:15-18) and in the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, who was sent from the Father and the Son, and who together with the Father and Son is worshipped and glorified. (1 John 14:15-17; Acts 2: 4)

We believe that man was made in the image of God that he might know, love and enjoy Him forever; that our first parents by disobedience fell under the righteous condemnation of God; and that all men are so alienated form God that there is no salvation from the guilt and power of sin except through God's redeeming grace. (Titus 2:11; Gen. 1:27; Romans 5:11)

We believe that God would have all men return to Him and that to this end He has made Himself known through the works of nature, the course of His providence, the consciences of men, and through supernatural revelations made especially to a chosen people, and above all, in the fullness of time, through Jesus Christ His Son. (2 Peter 3:9; Romans 1:18-20; Romans 3:1-2; Gal 4:4-5)

We believe that the Church is mystical union of all believers, with Christ as the Head, called into being by Him and His body for the salvation of human-kind and the transformation of the world through the preaching of the word, the observance of the sacraments and ordinances, the fellowship of believers, and prophetic witness to the coming of God's kingdom upon the earth. (Romans 12:4; Eph 5:23; Col 2:19)

We believe that the scriptures of the Old and the New Testaments are the record of God's self-revelation in the work of redemption, that they were written by men under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, that they are the authoritative standard by which Christian teaching and conduct are to be regulated and judged. (2 Timothy 3:15, 1 Peter 1:19-21)

We believe that the love of God to sinful men has found its highest expression in the redemptive work of His Son, who became man, uniting His divine nature with our human nature in one person, who was tempted like other men without committing sin, who by His obedience, His humiliation, His suffering, His death on the cross, His resurrection, and His ascension and intercession became a perfect redeemer whose sacrifice of himself for the sins of the world declares the righteousness of God and is the sole and sufficient ground of forgiveness of sin and reconciliation with God. (Galatians 3:13; Hebrews 2:6; 4:15)

We believe that after Jesus was raised from the dead, He ascended into heaven as the one mediator between God and mankind, and that He carries forward His work of saving men, that He sends the Holy Spirit to convict them of their sin and to lead them to repentance and faith, and that those who through renewing grace turn to righteousness and trust in Jesus Christ as their redeemer receive for His sake forgiveness of sin and are made the children of God. (Heb. 9:24; 1 Tim 2:5; Gal 1:4; John 16: 7-11; Eph 1:7)

We believe that justification is an act of God whereby all sins are forgiven through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and one is declared righteous before God. It comes in connection with true repentance and includes regeneration and adoption. (Romans 3:24-25; 5:1; Titus 3:5)

We believe that sanctification is an act of grace whereby the believer is separated, dedicated and consecrated unto God, body, soul, mind and spirit. This act of sanctification may be viewed in three aspects; instantaneous, progressive, and entire.
A. Instantaneous sanctification is an act wrought in connection with regeneration. (John 17:17; Romans 6:22; 12:1; Hebrews 13:12,13)
B. Progressive sanctification is the process wherein the believer continues to grow in grace. (II Corinthians 3:18; II Peter 3:18; I Peter 1:15; Hebrews 12:14; I Cor. 6:11)
C. Entire sanctification denotes a state of being sanctified: body, soul, mind, and spirit. (I Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 12:14)

We believe that the Holy Ghost is given upon the sanctified life in fulfillment of the promises of Jesus. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1: 4-8). This includes baptism by Jesus in the Holy Spirit providing purging, initial filling, being brought under the complete control of the Spirit in an initial act and in recurring acts of refilling, providing power for the believer and boldness to witness. (Acts 1:8; 2:4; 4:31; St. John 7:38,39; Matt 3:11,12)

We believe that healing is provided through the precious atonement of Jesus. (Isaiah 53:4,5; Matt 8:17; Mark 16:18; James 5:14-16)

We believe that Sunday, the Lord's Day, is a day of worship. (John 20:19: Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:1-2)

We believe that there shall be a glorious appearing of the Great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ and the establishment of His kingdom over all the earth, and that the dead shall be resurrected, the reward being everlasting lfie or everlasting punishment. (Acts 1:11; Titus 2:13; Matt 25:31-46; Acts 17:31; I Cor. 5:10; Rev 20:11-15)
