What We Believe.
Our Faith is based
on the Bible which we believe is inspired by God and is His revealed final
authority in all matters of doctrine and practice.
"All scripture
is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"
2 Timothy 3 v 16
We believe in the unity of the triune Godhead, the sovereignty of God,
the Deity of Christ and the Person and work of the Holy Spirit.
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God
was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels,
preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into
glory."
1 Timothy 3 v 16
"And when He [The Holy Spirit] is come, He will reprove the world of
sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. Of sin, because they believe
not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me
no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged."
John 16 v 8 - 11
We believe that Jesus
Christ is the eternal Son of God coequal within the Holy Trinity and that
He died and rose again bringing salvation to all who repent and receive
Him by faith.
"But when
the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son"
Galations 4 v 4
"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received,
how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that
He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the
scriptures"
1 Corinthians 15 v 3 and 4
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that
believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth
on him."
John 3:36
We believe that He
is coming again soon for all true believers
"And if I go
and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto
myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
John 14 v 3
What We Do.
We seek to share our
faith so that others may come to trust Christ as Saviour.
"Neither is
there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven
given among men, whereby we must be saved."
Acts 4 v 12
We practise the New
Testament teaching of baptism of Christians by immersion on their public
confession of faith.
"Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" Matthew 28 v 19
"Then they that gladly received His word were baptized"
Acts 2 v 41
And we hold a weekly
Breaking of Bread Service when those who have trusted in the Lord Jesus
as Saviour and have been baptised by immersion remember Him and His death
for us on the Cross.
"And He took
bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This
is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise
also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in
my blood, which is shed for you."
Luke 22 v 19 and 20
Because we believe
God hears and answers believing prayer we have a weekly Prayer Meeting.
"The effectual
fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
James 5 v 16
Regular Bible Studies
are held, do that we may learn more of God's will and purpose for our
lives.
"They received
the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily"
Acts 17 v 11
"And
they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship,
and in breaking of bread, and in prayers."
Acts 2 v 42
