We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible and authoritative word of God for faith and practice.
We believe that there is one sovereign God, eternally existing in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; who created man by a direct and immediate act of His will.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
This refers to His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious suffering, His atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father and His personal return in power and glory.
