What we believe

 1. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments in their original writings as fully inspired by God and accept them as the supreme and final authority for faith and life. (2Tim3:16)

 2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

 3. We believe that God created man in His own image; that man sinned and thereby incurred the penalty of death, physical and spiritual; that all human beings inherit a sinful nature which issues (in the case of those who reach moral responsibility) in actual transgression involving personal guilt; because all people have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God (John 1:29; Rom 3:23; 5:12-21)

 4. We believe in the principle of heterosexual relationships between a natural man and a natural woman within the confines of lawful matrimony. (Eph 5:23,31,33; 1 Tim 3:2;5-9,16; Tit 1:6). We also believe in the family unit with one natural father and one natural mother with children. We believe that a father (as a natural man) is the figure for blessing his children in their identity and destiny (Mal 4:5-6)

 5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, a substitutionary sacrifice, according to the Scriptures, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. (1 Cor 15:3; Rom 6:10;Joh 1:29;Mat 26:28;Col 1:14; 1 Joh 1:7; Rev 1:5)

 6. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus, His ascension into heaven, and His present life as our High Priest and Advocate. (Petr 1:3; Acts 4:2,33; Hebr 3:1; 4:4 – 5:1)

 7. We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ. (1Thes2:19; 3:13; 4:15; 5:23; Jam 5:7,8;1; Joh 2:28)

 8. We believe the Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the doctrine of sanctification as definite, yet a progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of the new birth and continuing until the consumption of salvation. We believe that we need to be sanctified from dead works and the works of the flesh: Sexual immorality, idolatry, Pre-marital sex, adultery, prostitution, homosexual practices or lifestyle, lesbian practices or lifestyle, incest, stealing, material greed, alcohol addiction, gossiping, slandering, swindling, debauchery, witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, consulting of New Age healers, consulting of Quantum Energy healers with roots in Buddhism and Hinduism; Involvement in Secret organizations like Rosary Movement, Free Masons and Broederbond, mediums, consulting of the spirits of the dead, consulting of Sangomas, consulting of witchdoctors, consulting of the spirits of the dead, consulting of idol worshipping priests and all other works of the flesh. (2Cor6:14-18; Heb12:14; 1Cor6; Gal5:19-12; Deut18; Lev20:6,7: 1 Cor 5:9-11;1 Petr 4:3-4; etc)

 9. We believe that all who confess their sins, repent of their sins and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become sons and daughters of the Father. (Mat3:2; Joh 3:5-8; 2 Cor 6:15-18; Jam 5 16-20; Rom 8 )

 10. We believe in the believers’ baptism by immersion in water and not in the sprinkling of babies.(Mat28:19; Acts 2:38,41;8:12-16;8:36-38;9:18;10:47-48; 19:3-5; 22:16; Rom 6:3,4; Hebr 6:2; 1 Cor 10:1-2)

 11. We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, empowering and equipping believers for service, with the accompanying supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit, and in fellowship with the Holy Spirit. We believe in the divinely ordained ministries of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher and also in the operating of the grace gifts, the gifts and the fruit of the Holy Spirit. (Luk 3:16; Joh 1:33; Acts 1:8; 2:38;11:16; 1 Cor 12; Gal 5:22; Rom 12:1-8)

 12. We believe in the resurrection both of the just and the unjust, the eternal blessedness of the redeemed and the eternal banishment of those who have rejected the offer of salvation.

 13. We believe that elders carry the responsibility for oversight and care of the staff and members. Where necessary, elders must carry out biblical discipline for the restoration of the believer who has fallen in sin and for the protection of the local church. (1 Tim 3; Acts 20:17, 28-32)

 14. We believe that the one true church is the whole company of those who have been redeemed by Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy Spirit; that the local church on earth should take its character from this concept of the church spiritually and therefore, that repentance, confession of sins, the new birth and personal confession (faith) of Christ are essentials of Church membership.(Acts 2:47; 9:31 Rom 16:4,16; 2 Cor 8:1; Mat 3:2; Joh 3:5-8; Jam 5:16-20)

 15. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed two ordinances – baptism in water and the Lord’s supper – to be observed as acts of obedience and as perpetual witnesses to the cardinal facts of the Christian Faith; that baptism is the immersion of the believer in water as a confession of identification with Christ in burial and resurrection, and that the Lord’s Supper is the partaking of the emblems symbolic of the Saviour’s broken body and shed blood, in remembrance of His sacrificial death until He comes. (Mat 28:19,20; 1 Cor 11:20 – 26)

 16. We believe that divine healing was provided for in the Old Testament and is still an integral part of the Gospel today. (Lev 14:2; 2Kings 5:3-11; Ps 103:3 147:3; Prov 17:22; Isa 53:5; Mat 4:23; 9:35;10:1; Luk 14:3; Acts 5:16; 1 Petr 2:24;Jam 5:14 – 15)

 The Church is open to any further truth, which the Holy Spirit may illuminate from the Scriptures.
