Our Doctrinal Basis

Our doctrinal basis, a summary of our Biblical beliefs, is the bedrock of our Fellowship. While this statement does not say all that we believe, it does contain the doctrines that are central to the Christian faith. It binds us together from diverse denominational backgrounds and provides boundaries that characterize us as followers of Christ

The doctrinal basis is presented as a twelve-point statement as follows:

  • The unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the Godhead.
  • The sovereignty of God in creation, revelation, redemption and final judgment.
  • The divine inspiration and entire trustworthiness of Holy Scripture, as originally given, and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
  • The universal sinfulness and guilt of all men since the fall, rendering them subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
  • Redemption from the guilt, penalty, dominion and pollution of sin solely through the sacrificial death (as our Representative and Substitute) of the Lord Jesus Christ, incarnate Son of God.
  • The bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead and His ascension to the right hand of God the Father.
  • The presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the work of regeneration.
  • The justification of the sinner by the grace of God through faith alone.
  • The indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer.
  • The one Holy Universal Church which is the Body of Christ and to which all true believers belong.
  • The unity of all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ without respect of persons and without discrimination on account of race, colour, nation, social position or otherwise.
  • The expectation of the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ
