OUR BELIEFS
- That our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, is the sole and absolute authority in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as revealed in the Holy Scriptures, and that each Church has liberty, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to interpret and administer His laws.
- That Christian Baptism is the immersion in water into the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, of those who have professed repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ who died for our sins according to the Scriptures; was buried and rose again the third day.
- Every disciple must bear personal witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to take part in the evangelisation of the world.
- In this Church, our belief is in the Divine and full inspiration and authority of the Bible, in all its parts, as supreme and sufficient rule of faith and practice.
WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY?

The message at the heart of Christianity is pretty simple.This short video introduces what it's all about.
|
WHO IS JESUS?
|
He’s the Christ. The King whom God himself had promised to send, who would put everything right by setting up a kingdom of justice and love. He’s also the Son of God. God himself entering the world as a human being.
Jesus proved who he was by what he did. He healed people. He calmed storms. He raised the dead. By doing these things, the King was giving a glimpse of life in his kingdom. A perfect place, with no suffering, fear or death. It’s the world we all want. |
WHY DID JESUS COME?
TO BE REJECTEDMany people rejected Jesus. They thought they would be happier making their own rules and living outside His kingdom. This rejection of the King is something we all do Jesus called it sin. It damages our lives and will enentally leave us separated from the joy of being in the Kingdom. God won't let those who reject the King live with him. So we face what Jesus called hell. An existence without anything good, forever.
|
TO BE KILLEDPeople rejected the King so violently that they killed him by nailing him to a cross. But his death was't a mistake by God - it was a masterstroke. On the cross, Jesus was cut off from God's friendship and goodness. He chose to experienced hell - so that we don't have to. The sinless King died to take the punishment sin deserves. Jesus was opening the way into his kingdom.
|
TO RISE AGAINThree days after his execution, his tomb was found to be empty. Over the next few weeks many ate with Jesus. Dozens spoke with him. Hundreds saw him. Jesus the King could not be contained by death. He had risen!
|
what does it mean for us?
So, today, right now, Jesus is inviting people to come into his kingdom. He tells us to repent and believe the good news. Repent means to turn around, to live with Jesus in charge instead of ourselves. Believe means to trust that Jesus has done everything we need to give us a place in his kingdom.
Living with Jesus as King isn't easy. His followers will be rejected, just as he was. But they also live a life of deep security, satisfaction, and joy, knowing God and his forgiveness, being helped by his Spirit, and looking forward to the King's return, when he will finally establish his loving kingdom forever. Jesus offers al this to any one and everyone who repents and believes.
Jesus freely offers all this to any one and every one who repents and believes.
