What We Believe
The Supreme Standard of the Church is the Word of God contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
John 3:16-18
The Bible tells us that God created all of the world, including us. He made it good. But humanity rejected God and His created order. Rather than obey God, we rebelled against him and against his ways of living in his world. This is what the Bible calls sin.
Sin deserves the punishment of death. This is why death entered into the world for all people. The good news of Christianity is that God loves us so much that he came into the world to take the punishment of death for us. He came into the world as the man who is also God – Jesus Christ, the one and only God the Son. Unlike any other man in history, Jesus Christ was sinless. He perfectly obeyed God’s will and laws.
Christians believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins. His death was a substitute for our death, if we accept him as Lord and Saviour.
Jesus did not need to die. He was sinless. His death on the Cross is sufficient to take the punishment for all of humanity. Jesus did not stay dead, he defeated death. On the first Easter Sunday he rose from the tomb, appeared to many people, and then ascended to Heaven. From there he reigns over all of the universe.
All who repent of their sins and believe in him as their Saviour who has taken the punishment for their sins, and believe he is the Lord who has risen to rule all of the universe, they receive forgiveness of sin and eternal life. God then gives Christians his Holy Spirit to live in them to help them live in obedience to God while they wait for Jesus to return.
So, have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour and Lord?
