Our Values & Mission

1. The Bible... both Old and New Testaments, are God's inspired and eternal Word. These Scriptures are the revealed will of God to mankind and are the only infallible guide to Christian faith and practice.

Acts 17:11 | I Thessalonians 2:13 | II Timothy 3:16-17 | II Peter 1:19-21 | Hebrews 1:3

2. In One God ... the Creator, Preserver, and Ruler of all things, infinite in being and perfect in justice, wisdom, holiness, truth, and love. He exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; the same in substance, equal in power and glory.

Psalms 19:9, 90:1-2, 103:19 | I Kings 8:27 | Genesis 1:1 | Isaiah 6:3 | John 5:17, 14:16-17 | Ephesians 2:18 |

3. That mankind... was created in righteousness and holiness in the image of God, that he was endowed with the power of rational and responsible choice given moral ends, and that his purpose was to glorify God.

Genesis 1:27 | Colossians 3:10 | Acts 17:24-28

4. Believers, whom Jesus is transforming from the inside out through a process of spiritual development so that we may be us. Through the test of his obedience mankind (through Adam) fell from grace, was alienated from God and now lives under the curse of sin. In sin, mankind is separated from God and unable to save himself, physically or spiritually.

Genesis 3:1-6 | Romans 5:12 ff 3:10-23 | Ephesians 4:18

5. That Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour as the eternal Son of God Jesus took upon Himself human form and being born of the virgin Mary united (perfectly) the divine and human nature.

Isaiah 9:6 | Matthew 1:18-25 | John 1ff |I Timothy 3:16 | Hebrews 2:14

6. That God provided salvation from sin for mankind through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ upon the cross. In this way, Jesus took upon himself the penalty of our sin, and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His sacrificial death.

Matthew 20:28 | Hebrews 9:11-12 |I Corinthians 15:1ff | Romans 3:22-26, 6:23 | I Peter 3:18

Galatians 3:13 | I Timothy 2:5-6 | I John 1:6-7
