The purpose of the church is to glorify God in every area of its life and witness and that will be achieved through:-
We will use various means of sharing the Christian message and declaring that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news of salvation.
We will instruct and guide believers to grow towards Christian maturity in all areas by example, Bible study, prayer and training.
We will honour God through praise, prayer, thanksgiving and obedience.
We will encourage and nurture the true spirit of fellowship in all believers, caring for them in any practical way possible.
With God's help and guidance we will respond to the needs of the community and in various parts of the world where we can help.
We Believe:-
In the One and Only true God, in the three Persons of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
We also believe:-
That human beings who experience forgiveness of sins through believing in the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour and obeying Him as Lord are no longer separated from God as His Holy Spirit comes to live within them. The Holy Spirit guides, teaches, strengthens and enables them to serve God and live lives which are pleasing to Him and assures them of eternal life.
All this is taught in the Bible which we believe to be the true word of God and is our only authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
We also believe:-
Baptism by Immersion: The Lord Jesus left a clear command in the new testament book of Matthew chapter 28 to His disciples when He said " go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you".
We practice baptism by immersion to people who truly confess to a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The significance of this for a believer is that they are identifying themselves with the Lord in His death ie dying to self by being buried under the water and the coming up out of the water is symbolic of them being raised with Him from the dead.
The public witness of a Christian being baptised by emersion also demonstrates their desire to live an entirely new life in obedience to the commands of the Lord Jesus which they will be able to do by the power of the Holy Spirit who indwells every born again Christian.
