ImageAs a summary of what we believe, we have adopted the internationally recognised and respected World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) Statement of Faith. 

WEA Statement of faith

We believe in the Holy Scriptures1 as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy;2 and the supreme authority3 in all matters of faith4 and conduct.5
We believe in one God,6 eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,7
We believe in our Lord Jesus Christ,8 God manifest in the flesh,9 His virgin birth,10 His sinless human life,11 His divine miracles,12 His vicarious[a] and atoning death,13 His bodily resurrection,14 His ascension,15 His mediatorial[b] work,16 and His personal return in power and glory.17
We believe in the Salvation of lost and sinful man,18 through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ,19 by faith apart from works,20 and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.21
We believe in the Holy Spirit,22 by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life,23 to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.24
We believe in the Unity of the Spirit of all true believers,25 the Church, the Body of Christ.26
We believe in the Resurrection of both the saved and the lost;27 they that are saved unto the resurrection of life,28 they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.29
