We believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us. We believe that He came to destroy the works of Satan, that He disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public display of them having triumphed over them.

We believe that God has proven His love for us because when we were still sinners Christ died for us. We believe that He delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to His kingdom. At the core of who we are we have been changed from sinner, one who lives independent from God, to saint, one who lives dependant upon God. We believe it is only in Christ that we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

We believe that we are now children of God and that we have been seated with Christ in the heavenlies. We believe that we were saved by the grace of God through faith, that it was a gift and not the result of any works on our part.

We believe that apart from Christ we can do nothing of positive, eternal value, so we declare our dependence on Him. We freely choose to abide in Christ in order to bear much fruit and glorify the Lord. Jesus is our Lord.

We believe that the Bible is the only authoritative standard and by the wisdom of God we desire to speak the truth in love. The Scripture is the record of God's revelation of Himself and His ways to us. God is the Author, revealing to us how we may once again have a relationship with Him. Jesus is the only Way, the Truth and the Life.

We choose to present of bodies as instruments of righteousness, and living holy sacrifices. We renew our mind by the living Word of God in order that we may prove that the will of God is good, acceptable and perfect.

We ask our Heavenly Father to fill us with His Holy Spirit, to lead us into all truth, and to empower our lives so that we may live above sin and not carry out the desires of the flesh. We desire to obey the great commandment, to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and mind and to love our neighbour as ourselves.

We believe that we can grieve our God by carrying out the deeds of the flesh. He has made provision for us to renew our relationship. By confession of our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

We believe that Jesus is the Head of His body, the local church. We are a part of His church because we believe that it is by the local church Jesus is today working. A mature body of believers working under the power of the Holy Spirit, who gifts and empowers His church, will represent Christ to a dying and hurting world.

We believe and have submitted to the first act of obedience symbolizing our faith in Jesus, our crucified, buried and risen Lord and Savior, immersion, known as baptism. This display to all who witnessed, our death to sin, our burial of the old life, and the resurrection of the new life in Christ which was given to us when we first accepted Him.

We believe and partake in the Lord's Supper, the second ordinance, which is a symbolic act of obedience, given to us by our Lord on the night of His crucifixion. With a sense of humbleness and great appreciation we remember the love of our Savior, how He was broken for us and brought us into a new covenant with Him. We will celebrate the Lord's Supper with God's people until He returns to bring us to His Great Marriage Supper in eternity.

The message we speak about and teach is the Kingdom of God or Heaven. This we proclaim because it includes God's sovereign rule over the whole universe and life in general. But particularly the Kingdom is the realm of salvation into which we enter by trustful, child-like commitment to Him. We pray that His kingdom come in its fullness and we await with anticipation the final return of Jesus at the end of the final age, for His kingdom is without end. Since we do not know when the Lord will declare man's opportunity to respond to Him is forever over we seek to tell all those around us, near and far of this eternal message.

We believe our Lord Jesus is going to bodily return, at the time His Father has declared before the foundation of the world. No one knows the day of His final arrival, when He comes in glory and honour. The dead will arise. Christ will judge, those in Christ will receive their rewards and forever dwell with Him, those who do not know Him will be judged with an everlasting judgement and assigned to the place of everlasting torment where the Devil and all his demons will be cast. No choice for man is a choice, the wrath of God abides on all those who do not believe.

We are in love with Jesus. He is our God and our Lord. We pray that we will always, by His grace with works within us, seek His face and desire to know His heart. We seek, we pray, with all the saints, what is the width and length and depth and height and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge. We praise Him! We worship Him! 

AMEN!
