Beliefs

  • We believe that the Bible is God’s word that was written by men divinely inspired and that it is the supreme infallible authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
  • We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • We believe that all men by nature and by choice are lost sinners and can only be saved by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour through Faith.
  • We believe in the church as the living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and of which all regenerated people are members.
  • We believe that the only two ordinances that Christ gave to the church are Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
  • We believe that all Christians should be faithful citizens and obedient to the State and government in upholding and maintaining the laws of the State.
