We believe that the Bible is Gods message to our world. What it teaches is surprising and supremely important. For example, it teaches:

God is a different kind of being from men and women. He is three persons (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) yet each person is the whole of Him.

God is the creator of the whole universe. He is in complete control of everything. Nothing can prevent Him from doing his will.

God created the first man and woman to rule and care for our world but they disobeyed their Creator and lost their perfection. Each of us, descended from them, has a disobedient and selfish nature. We can only expect God’s rejection and judgement.

Out of love and mercy God the Son became a man. He lived a perfectly obedient life. Finally He suffered death on the cross, taking the place of millions of sinners, whom He loved. His victory over sin and death is proved by His rising from the dead.

God has promised the Holy Spirit to give people the capability to turn from their selfishness and trust Christ. Salvation is an absolutely free gift from God, which we cannot earn or buy. To accept this free gift, we must repent of our rebellion and trust in Christ alone to save us.

No one who truly repents and trusts Christ can ever be lost. Christians are baptised to show publicly what has already happened within them. Then, through the strength of the Holy Spirit, Christians slowly become more and more like Christ

Everyone who has ever lived will one day see the personal, glorious return of Jesus Christ to earth. Then the family of God will be made perfect. They will live in the presence of God forever.

This SAVIOUR-GOD is whom we worship and serve.
