What we believe

As part of the Assemblies of God fellowship, we subscribe to a statement of beliefs, which can be summarised as follows:

  • The Bible is the Word of God and is an infallible reference for faith and practice.
  • There is only one true and living God who has revealed himself as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • The Lord Jesus Christ was born to a virgin, led a perfect life on earth, died for us, was raised from the dead and we await his second coming.
  • Man, was created pure and upright, but chose to do wrong.
  • We are saved by faith in Jesus Christ, who died to pay the price for our wrongdoing. When we first believe we experience a "new birth" brought about by The Holy Spirit.
  • All who truly repent and believe in Christ as Lord and Saviour should be baptised by immersion in water.
  • Baptism in the Holy Spirit is accompanied by speaking in tongues
  • The gifts of the Holy Spirit are working in the Church today.
  • We must be obedient to God's commands and live Holy lives.
  • Sickness can be cured by Divine Healing.
  • All who truly repent and believe in Christ as Lord and Saviour should take part in the Breaking of Bread.
  • Everyone will be resurrected to everlasting joy if they truly believe in our Lord Jesus Christ or everlasting punishment if they do not.
