What We Believe

We are a body of believers who meet solely in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We accept no head, except that of Christ, as ruler over the Church. We are not a member of any organized denomination. We do fellowship and interact with likeminded bodies of believers all over the world. We readily accept into Christian fellowship anyone bearing clear testimony of true faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We gather for the purposes of worship, instruction, fellowship, and ministry.

We believe and teach that "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness," (2 Timothy 3:16). Therefore the Word of God is taught as not only our highest, but also our only authority.

We believe the Scriptures clearly teach:

The absolute sovereignty of the Triune God.

The essential deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His vicarious death, and His physical resurrection and ascension.

That Jesus is presently dwelling with the Father in Heaven preparing a place for His own. One day He will return for His own. Those of us who have put their faith in Christ alone will be caught up, meeting Him in the clouds, and taken to Heaven and will be with Him forevermore (1 Thess. 4:13ff). He will also return to judge the earth. In the end of time, unrepentant sinners will be cast into the Lake of Fire where they will receive their eternal recompence for their sin (Revelation 20).

The only valid answer to the manifold evil in present-day human society is to be found in the gospel of Christ, which is "the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth."

That salvation is by the grace of God alone, on the basis of the atoning Sacrifice of Christ, and wholly apart from any human merit.

That God commands all people to repent and to believe the gospel.

That the church is composed solely of repentant and believing sinners who confess and serve Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour and submit to his rule and authority as set forth in the Scriptures.

That Christians have the solemn obligation to conduct themselves at all times in a manner worthy of the gospel they profess to believe.
