TENETS OF THE CHURCH.

  • THE BIBLE

    We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God and the ultimate authority for our faith and daily living. It reveals God’s will, His plan for humanity, and His redemptive work through Jesus Christ.
    2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21

  • THE ONE TRUE GOD

    We believe in one eternal God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all things and is worthy of all worship, honor, and obedience.
    Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14

  • MANS DEPRAVED NATURE

    We believe that humanity was created in God’s image but fell through sin. As a result, all people are born with a sinful nature and are separated from God, in need of salvation.
    Genesis 3:1–19; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12

  • THE SAVIOUR

    We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, sent to redeem humanity from sin. Through His death and resurrection, He provides salvation to all who believe in Him.
    John 3:16; Acts 4:12; Romans 5:8

  • REPENTANCE, REGENERATION, JUSTIFICATION, AND SANCTIFICATION

    We believe that salvation is experienced through repentance, the new birth by the Holy Spirit, being justified by faith, and living a sanctified life.
    Titus 3:5; Romans 5:1; Hebrews 12:14

  • THE ORDINANCES OF BAPTISM AND THE LORD’S SUPPER OR COMMUNION

    We believe in water baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper as commanded by Jesus Christ. These serve as important expressions of our faith.
    Matthew 28:19; Luke 22:19–20

  • BAPTISM, GIFTS AND FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

    We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit for all believers, accompanied by the operation of spiritual gifts and the evidence of a transformed life through the fruit of the Spirit.
    Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1–4; Galatians 5:22–23; 1 Corinthians 12:4–11

  • DIVINE HEALING

    We believe that the healing of sicknesses and diseases is provided for God’s people in the atonement

    (Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:7-13; 16,17; Mark 16:17,18; Luke 13:10-16; Acts 10:38; James 5:14-16).

    However, the Church is not opposed to medication by qualified medical practitioners.

  • TITHES AND OFFERINGS

    We believe in tithing and in the giving of freewill offerings towards the furtherance of the cause of the Kingdom of God. We believe that God blesses a cheerful giver

    (Genesis 14:18-20; Malachi 3:6-10; Matthew 23:23; Acts 20:35; Hebrews 7:1-4; I Corinthians 16:1, 2; 2 Corinthians 9:1-9).

  • THE SECOND COMING AND THE NEXT LIFE

    We believe in the second coming of Christ and the resurrection of the dead, both the saved and the unsaved. They that are saved to the resurrection of life and the unsaved to the resurrection of damnation

    (Daniel 12:2; Mark 13:26; John 5:28, 29; Acts 1:11; Acts 10:42; Romans 2:7-11; Romans 6:23).

  • MARRIAGE AND FAMILY LIFE

    We believe in the institution of marriage as a union established and ordained by God for the lifelong, intimate relationship between a man as husband and a woman as wife as biologically defined at birth. We believe that God instituted marriage primarily for mutual help, fellowship and comfort that one ought to have for the other and for the honourable procreation of children, and their training in love, obedience to the Lord and responsible citizenship.

    (Genesis 2:18, Genesis 21-25; Matthew 19:4-6; 1 Corinthians 7:1-2).
