Our Values
There is only one God, and that God
exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who
are equal in power and glory.
"The Lord our
God, The Lord is one."
[Deuteronomy 6:v4]
We believe in the Creator, God the
Father, an infinite, spiritual Father, perfect in holiness, wisdom,
power, and love; that he concerns himself mercifully in the affairs
of humanity and all creation; that he hears and answers prayer; and
that he has the power to save from sin and death all who come to him
through faith in Jesus Christ, who taught us to call upon God as
"our Father."
We believe in the Saviour, Jesus Christ,
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, fully human
and fully divine, the son of God; that he lived a sinless life and
died in our place for our sins by
shedding his blood and dying on a cross; that he was buried; that he
was bodily raised from the dead three days later, thereby conquering
the powers of death and evil; that he appeared to his disciples;
that he ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God our
Father, where he makes continual intercession for us; that he will
literally come again to establish the fullness of God's kingdom on
earth. We believe in his miracles and his teachings.
"In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God."
[John 1:v1]
We believe in the Counsellor, the Holy
Spirit, who is sent from God the Father and the Son to convict us of
sin, righteousness and judgment; to regenerate us with new life; to
comfort us; to sanctify and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ;
and to sustain us and our faith until Jesus comes again. We believe
that the Holy Spirit is a helper, teacher, and guide; that he
unites us together through our faith in Jesus; that the Holy Spirit
intercedes for us even when we don't know how to pray. Likewise, we
believe in the personal and orderly public exercise of all the
Biblical gifts given by the Holy Spirit to the church.
"And I will ask
the Father, and he will give you
another Counsellor to be with you forever --
the Spirit of truth."
[John 14:v16-17]
