Our fellowship & partnership in the gospel is extended to all who subscribe to the following Fundamental Biblical Articles of Faith and Practice.
The Divine plenary inspiration and supernatural inerrancy of Holy Scripture. The Old and New Testaments comprise the absolute Word of God. Its teaching and authority are supreme and final as the only infallible rule in all matters of belief & behaviour.
The Trinity in unity of the Godhead - One living and true God, eternally existing in Three Persons - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, of the same in substance, co-equal in power and glory.
The Sovereignty of God in creation, providence and redemption, revealed in the Lordship of Jesus Christ who is the only Mediator between God and men.
The Personality and Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the only Incarnate Son of God, begotten of the Holy Spirit. His Virgin Birth, His perfect and sinless humanity, truly God and truly man yet one Person forever. His atoning sacrifice, death, bodily resurrection and ascension to the Throne of God. He will soon return in glory for judgement and triumphant reign.
The Personality and Deity of the Holy Spirit, the source and power of all acceptable worship and service, the author and interpreter of the infallible Word of God. He convicts, regenerates, indwells, empowers and sanctifies all true believers.
The creation of man in the image of God, his subsequent total depravity and utter ruin through the fall. The fallen state and lost condition of the whole human race The subjection of all men to God’s wrath and condemnation, the necessity of the new birth of the sinner and his acceptance with God only on the basis of the atoning the Lord Jesus Christ.
Salvation from the penalty of sin and justification only by the grace of God through repentance and faith in Christ alone. He is the one & only propitiatory and expiatory sacrifice for sin.
The personality of the Devil, his evil opposition to God and the Divine purposes, his corruption and enslavement of men, and his final doom.
The resurrection and eternal blessedness of the redeemed and the conscious eternal punishment of those who reject the Lord Jesus Christ as their only Saviour.
The spiritual unity and security of all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. The responsibility of all believers to walk in the light of God’s word & ‘live soberly, righteously and godly in this present evil world.’ (Titus 2:12)
The expository, evangelical & fervent preaching of the Word of God. The preservation and purity of doctrine, worship and life & avoiding schism and heresy. The encouragement & exercise of all the true gifts of the Holy Spirit for the edification of the saints to the glory of God.
