Our Beliefs

ARTICLES OF FAITH

We believe in particular in:

One true and living God, infinite, eternal and unchangeable, in three
Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and the Creator of all things
for His own wise purpose.

The Holy Scriptures as the Word of God given by the inspiration of the Holy
Spirit.

Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God: His virgin Birth; His real and
perfect manhood; the truth of His teaching; the perfect sacrifice for the sin of
the world offered once and for all in His death on the Cross; His bodily
resurrection from the dead; His ascension into Heaven; his present ministry of
intercession and His coming again in power and glory.

The Holy Spirit by whose illumination, conviction and regeneration, men are
brought to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ; His continuous work of
sanctification in the lives of believers and their divine preservation into
everlasting life; and His direction of the worship, ministry and administration
of the Church.

The fall of man and consequent sinfulness, guilt and condemnation of all men,
the free and perfect justification of all who believe in our Lord Jesus Christ
and their regeneration by the power of the Holy Spirit into adoption as Children
of God.

The resurrection of the body and the final judgement of all men; the eternal
perfection and blessedness of the saved and eternal punishment of the lost.

Marriage as a holy and honorable estate, instituted by God for companionship
between man and woman, and for the procreation of children, and which may be
dissolved only at death.

Monogamy as the ideal state of the family according to the New Testament; and
accordingly the Church records its adherence thereto and no known polygamist
shall be allowed to hold any office in the Church as pastors, council officers,
diaconate, Head of Departments, Head of Ministries, Home Care Fellowship
leaders.

The priesthood of believers (1 Peter 2:9 and Revelation 1:6).
