About Us
We are Christians, disciples of the Lord Jesus, our beloved Saviour.
We call ourselves ‘evangelical’ because we build our faith solely on the teaching of the Bible.
We are united together in a local church to worship God and to help one another. Yet we are not isolated from the universal church. All who through grace believe in Christ and follow him are one family, one body, one temple, for we have one Father, one Lord and one Spirit
What We Do
Our church is small but the fellowship is sweet. During our meetings we sing hymns and praises to our Lord, pray, and listen to reading and preaching of the Word of God. Every Sunday we celebrate the Lord’s Supper by partaking of the bread and wine, in remembrance of Christ and his sacrifice for our redemption.
For us the Christian faith does not stop at the doors of the church but it reaches into all aspects of life. We want to live in the conscious presence of God, wherever we may be, at home, work or in society.
We endeavour to share the gospel message with our relatives, friends and all people. We cannot keep to ourselves the Good News through which we received God’s love and joy inexpressible.
Our Faith
We gladly affirm with other Christians throughout history the biblical truths of the ancient creeds (Apostles’, Nicene, Athanasian), affirming the Trinity and the Deity of our Lord Jesus. We cherish, defend and proclaim the gospel message of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ Jesus alone. In regards to the doctrines of grace and the administration of baptism, we are Reformed Baptist by conviction and subscribe to the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith as an accurate exposition of biblical doctrine.
We confess …
- The divine inspiration, supreme authority and sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures, the written Word of God.
- The Triune God who lives eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
- The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, born of the virgin Mary, truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.
- The sacrifice of Christ on the cross, dying in our place to reconcile us with God; the bodily resurrection of Christ, his ascension to the Father, and his present reign and mediation.
- The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith alone, in Christ alone, and apart from the merits of our works.
- The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, and enables us to live a holy life abounding in good works.
- The spiritual unity of all Christians in the body of Christ, the church.
- Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly in glory to the earth; the dead will be raised; Christ will judge all people in righteousness. The unrighteous will be consigned to everlasting punishment; the righteous will receive their reward, and will dwell with the Lord forever.
