We believe Jesus is fully God and fully human, born of the virgin Mary. He lived a perfect and sinless life, died on the cross for our sin and rose from the dead on the third day.

Through Jesus, we can be reconciled to God and receive new life. He returned to the Father and will come again to complete God’s plan of redemption.

We believe the Holy Spirit is God and is present with every believer. He guides, comforts, teaches and empowers us to follow Jesus and live out our faith.

We believe the gifts and work of the Holy Spirit continue today, equipping believers to serve God, build His Church and share His love with others.

We believe prayer is an essential part of our relationship with God. Through prayer, we spend time with Him, listen, give thanks, bring our needs before Him and seek His will.

Prayer can take many forms — individually and together — and helps us grow in our relationship with God and become more aligned with His purposes.

We believe the Church is the community of people who follow Jesus — a spiritual family united by Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Every believer has a place and purpose within the Body of Christ. Together, we are called to worship God, care for one another, grow as disciples and share the good news of Jesus with our world.

We believe the good news of Jesus is for everyone. Jesus calls His followers to share His message of hope, salvation and new life with others.

We do this through our words and the way we live, sharing what Jesus has done and demonstrating His love within our families, communities and beyond.

We believe humanity was created for relationship with God, but sin entered the world through human disobedience and separated us from Him.

Sin affects every person and every part of our world, bringing brokenness and death. Because we cannot restore this relationship ourselves, we need the forgiveness and new life God offers through Jesus.

We believe salvation is God’s gift to us through Jesus. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus took the penalty for our sin and made a way for us to be reconciled to God.

Salvation cannot be earned; it is received by faith in Jesus, accompanied by repentance and a decision to follow Him. Through the Holy Spirit, we are empowered to leave our old ways behind and live a new life in Christ.

We believe Jesus calls those who follow Him to repent and be baptised. Water baptism by full immersion is a public declaration of our faith in Jesus and represents leaving our old life behind and beginning a new life in Him.

We also believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, empowering believers to live and serve through the presence and gifts of the Spirit, including speaking in tongues.
