“For the LORD is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.” — Psalm 100:5
1. The Holy Scriptures
We believe that the Holy Scriptures, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21).
They are the complete revelation of His will for salvation and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and life.
The Scriptures are to be interpreted in their natural, grammatical, and historical sense, while recognizing that God has woven into them types, shadows, and prophecies that point to and are fulfilled in Christ (Luke 24:27; Hebrews 10:1).
Through the Word, God speaks clearly, sufficiently, and authoritatively to His people.
2. God and the Holy Trinity
We believe that there is one living and true God, who is infinite in being and perfection, unchangeable in His nature, and sovereign over all things (Deuteronomy 6:4; Psalm 115:3; Malachi 3:6).
He exists eternally in three Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each fully God, equal in essence and power, yet distinct in role and relationship (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).
From Him and through Him and to Him are all things; to Him be glory forever (Romans 11:36).
3. Christ the Mediator
We believe that the eternal Son of God became man without ceasing to be God, being conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary (Luke 1:35; John 1:14).
As the perfect Mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), He lived a sinless life, obeyed the law of God perfectly, and offered Himself as a substitutionary, once-for-all sacrifice for sinners (Hebrews 9:26–28; 1 Peter 3:18).
By His death He satisfied divine justice and accomplished full redemption. He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and now intercedes for His people as their Advocate and High Priest (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25).
4. The Holy Spirit
The Spirit sanctifies believers, conforming them to the image of Christ (2 Thessalonians 2:13; Galatians 5:22–23), and empowers the church for service by sovereignly bestowing spiritual gifts for the building up of the body (1 Corinthians 12:4–11; 1 Peter 4:10–11; Ephesians 4:7–12).
He glorifies neither Himself nor His gifts through outward display, but glorifies Christ by accomplishing His redemptive work and strengthening believers in the faith (John 16:13–14; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 3:18).
5. Creation
We believe that God created the heavens and the earth in six days by His Word and all that He made was very good (Genesis 1:1–31; Exodus 20:11).
Man and woman were created in His image (Genesis 1:27) to know, love, and serve Him, having dominion over creation.
They were made equal in worth and dignity yet distinct in role and function, reflecting the wisdom and order of God’s design (Genesis 2:18–24; 1 Corinthians 11:3).
6. The Fall of Man and Sin
We believe that Adam, as the representative head of humanity, sinned against God by disobedience and thereby brought guilt, corruption, and death upon all his descendants (Romans 5:12–19; 1 Corinthians 15:21–22).
Because of this fall, all people inherit a sinful nature and are born spiritually dead, alienated from God, and inclined toward evil rather than good (Ephesians 2:1–3).
While human beings retain the capacity to make genuine choices and are therefore morally responsible before God, the will itself has been corrupted by sin. As a result, though people act voluntarily, they inevitably and wilfully choose sin rather than righteousness (Romans 3:10–12; John 8:34).
No one seeks God or can please Him apart from His sovereign, regenerating grace (John 6:44; Romans 8:7–8).
7. Salvation and the Gospel
We believe that salvation is wholly of God by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone (Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:5–7).
Those whom the Father has chosen He calls effectually by His Spirit, regenerating their hearts and granting them repentance and faith in Christ (John 6:37–39; Ezekiel 36:26–27).
At the same time, the gospel is to be proclaimed to all people, for God “commands all people everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30) and desires that the good news of Christ be preached to every nation (Matthew 28:19–20; Mark 16:15).
All who hear the gospel are sincerely invited to repent of their sin and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation (Romans 10:9–13).
Through faith, the believer is justified—declared righteous before God by the imputed righteousness of Christ (Romans 5:1; 2 Corinthians 5:21).
All believers are sanctified by the Spirit and persevere to the end, for “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion” (Philippians 1:6).
8. God’s Decree and Providence
God has eternally decreed all that comes to pass in perfect wisdom and holiness, yet He is not the author or approver of sin (Isaiah 46:9–10; James 1:13).
He works all things according to the counsel of His will for His glory and the good of His people (Ephesians 1:11; Romans 8:28).
His providence extends to every detail of creation, sustaining and governing all things by His sovereign power (Hebrews 1:3; Psalm 103:19).
9. The Church
We believe that the universal church consists of all believers united to Christ by the Holy Spirit into one body (Ephesians 1:22–23; 1 Corinthians 12:12–13).
The local church is the visible expression of that body, which exists for worship, discipleship, prayer, fellowship and the proclamation of the Word (Acts 2:42).
Christ alone is Head of the church, which He governs through biblically qualified elders and deacons (1 Timothy 3:1–13; 1 Peter 5:1–4).
Believer’s Baptism
We believe that baptism is an ordinance of the Lord Jesus Christ, to be administered only to those who have personally repented and believed in the gospel (Matthew 28:19; Acts 8:12).
It is performed by full immersion in water as a public testimony of union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Romans 6:3–4; Colossians 2:12).
Baptism does not save, but it is an act of obedience and a sign of belonging to the visible people of God.
The Lord’s Supper
We believe that the Lord’s Supper is an ordinance of Christ given to His church as a memorial of His sacrificial death and a proclamation of His return (Luke 22:19–20; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26).
The bread and the cup symbolize the body and blood of our Lord, and believers partake with reverence, self-examination, and thanksgiving (1 Corinthians 11:27–29).
While the elements do not change in substance, Christ is spiritually present with His people as they gather in faith.
The Lord’s Supper is reserved for those who have trusted in Christ and are walking in repentance and fellowship with the church.
10. Men and Women
We believe that men and women are equal in dignity and worth as image-bearers of God, yet distinct in their God-given roles and responsibilities in the home and church (Genesis 1:27; 1 Timothy 2:12–13).
This divine order reflects the goodness and wisdom of God, and not on cultural tradition. It displays the loving unity within the Trinity.
Both men and women are called to serve Christ faithfully according to the gifts and opportunities He provides (Romans 12:4–8; 1 Peter 4:10–11).
11. The Family
We believe that marriage is the lifelong covenant union of one man and one woman (Genesis 2:18–24; Matthew 19:4–6).
It is designed by God for companionship, sanctification, and the raising of children in the fear and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 5:22–33; 6:4).
The family is the foundational sphere for discipleship, where Christ is to be honoured and His Word taught diligently to the next generation (Deuteronomy 6:6–7).
12. The Christian Life
We believe that all believers are called to live lives of holiness and obedience, empowered by the indwelling Spirit (Romans 12:1–2; Galatians 5:16–25).
The study of Scripture is not merely intellectual but transformative—it deepens our knowledge of God and conforms us to the image of His Son (2 Corinthians 3:18; Colossians 3:16).
Discipleship involves growing in grace, serving one another in love, and faithfully bearing witness to Christ in the world (Matthew 28:19–20; Philippians 2:15–16).
13. The Last Things
We believe in the blessed hope—the personal, bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ before His literal thousand-year reign upon the earth (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 19:11–20:6).
At His coming, believers will be caught up to meet the Lord and receive glorified bodies (1 Corinthians 15:51–53).
After His millennial reign, the wicked will be raised to judgment, and the righteous to everlasting life (John 5:28–29; Matthew 25:31–46).
God will create new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness dwells and His redeemed people will live forever in His presence (2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1–4).
14. Christian Unity and Charity
We affirm unity with all who confess salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone.
While we hold firmly to our doctrinal convictions, we welcome into fellowship those who differ on secondary matters such as baptism or the precise details of Christ’s return, provided they uphold the authority of Scripture and the bodily return of Christ.
“In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, charity; in all things, Christ.”
