This Church consists of believers who have been saved by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ though His blood, provided by God’s grace. Such believers are recognised as church members, who hold to what are commonly known as the ‘Evangelical Doctrines’, namely: ­

The Trinity

3)     The unity and co-equality of the Godhead – Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Jesus Christ

i)      The Virgin birth of Jesus, conceived by the Holy Spirit, who is the Eternal Son of God, who became truly man yet sinless, while yet truly God.

ii)     His death as a voluntary and sufficient sacri­fice for the sin of all humanity.

iii)    His triumphant bodily resurrection from among the dead after three days.

Salvation

8)     The eternal salvation of the believer.

Holy Spirit
