WHAT
DO WE BELIEVE?
We are members of the Evangelical Alliance and subscribe to their statement of faith
Evangelical
Christians accept the revelation of the triune God given in the
Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and confess the historic
faith of the Gospel set forth in them.
They
regard the following doctrines as crucial to the understanding of
the faith. These beliefs should issue in mutual love, practical
Christian service and a concern to proclaim Biblical truth to everyone.
- The
sovereignty and grace of God the Father, God the Son and God the
Holy Spirit in creation, providence, revelation, redemption and
final judgement.
- The
divine inspiration of the Holy Scripture and its consequent entire
trustworthiness and supreme authority in all matters of faith
and conduct.
- The
universal sinfulness and guilt of fallen man, making him subject
to God's wrath and condemnation.
- The
substitutionary sacrifice of the incarnate Son of God as the sole
all-sufficient ground of redemption from the guilt and power of
sin, and from its eternal consequences.
- The
justification of the sinner solely by the grace of God through
faith in Christ crucified and risen from the dead.
- The
illuminating, regenerating, indwelling and sanctifying work of
God the Holy Spirit.
- The
priesthood of all believers, who form the universal Church, the
Body of which Christ is the Head and which is committed by His
command to the proclamation of the Gospel throughout the world.
- The
expectation of the personal, visible return of the Lord Jesus
Christ in power and glory.
