Our Statement of Faith

 

We believe:

 

  1. That the Holy Scriptures, that is, all the books of the Old and New Testament, were uniquely inspired, and, as originally given entirely free from error; that they are the supreme authority in faith and life.
  2. That there is one God, eternal and immutable, subsisting in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
  3. That as a consequence of the Fall, people have inherited a corrupt and depraved nature, that the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit alone enables people to exercise saving faith in Jesus Christ. Notwithstanding, those who remain impenitent are fully responsible for their willful continuance in sin and unbelief.
  4. That Jesus Christ is begotten of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man inseparably joined in one person forever; that the substitutionary death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation from sin through faith.
  5. That the Holy Spirit is the agent of regeneration, whereby people are brought to repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that He indwells believers, enabling them to live godly lives.
  6. That those whom God has justified in the beloved, and sanctified by His Spirit will never totally or finally fall away from the state of grace, but shall certainly persevere to the end.
  7. That the Lord Jesus Christ will return in power and glory to gather His elect, and that there will be a resurrection and final judgement of all people issuing in eternal blessedness for believers, and eternal punishment for the unregenerate.
