We Believe

We believe the Holy Bible (the Scriptures) to be divinely inspired Word of God, written by men under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

We believe that the true Church of Jesus Christ on the earth today comprises every "born again" Christian who claims Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour on the basis of true repentance and faith.

We further believe that every Christian believer should obey the Scriptural injunction to be baptised by total immersion, as was practiced by the early church and recorded in the book of Acts in the New Testament.

We believe that as a local church we have a responsibility to reach out to the people in our town with the message of the Christian gospel and further, to promote the sending out of missionaries to evangelise in other parts of the world.

We believe that every local church, or assembly, should be completely autonomous, responsible and accountable to God only.

We believe that contrary to the practice of "one man ministry" in the organised church, the scriptural order for church government is for chosen elders, divinely set apart, to oversee the various functions of the local church, with respect to worship and Christian service. Also we believe that elders should use the gifts given to them by the Holy Spirit to minister God's Word, in order to build up and edify the church.
