Our
Faith
We gladly affirm with other Christians
throughout history the biblical truths of
the ancient creeds (Apostles’, Nicene,
Athanasian), affirming the Trinity and the
Deity of our Lord Jesus. We cherish, defend
and proclaim the gospel message of salvation
by grace alone, through faith alone, in
Christ Jesus alone. In regards to the
doctrines of grace and the administration of
baptism, we are
Reformed Baptist by conviction and
subscribe to the
1689 Baptist Confession of Faith as an
accurate exposition of biblical doctrine.
We believe in …
The divine inspiration, supreme authority
and sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures, the
written Word of God.
The Triune God who lives eternally in three
persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit.
The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the
Lord Jesus Christ, born of the virgin Mary,
truly divine and truly human, yet without
sin.
The sacrifice of Christ on the cross, dying
in our place to reconcile us with God.
The bodily resurrection of Christ, his
ascension to the Father, and his
present reign and
mediation as the only Saviour of the world.
The justification of sinners solely by the
grace of God through faith alone, in Christ
alone.
The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who
leads us to repentance, unites us with
Christ through new birth, and enables us to
live a holy life.
The spiritual unity of all Christians in the
body of Christ, the church.
The personal and visible return of Jesus
Christ who will raise all people to
judgement, bring eternal life to the
redeemed and eternal condemnation to the
lost, and establish a new heaven and new
earth. |
