    1. THE BIBLE
    We believe in the divine inspiration and authority of the Holy
    Scriptures. We believe that the Bible is infallible in its declaration,
    final in its authority, all-sufficient in its provisions and
    comprehensive in its sufficiency (2Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21).

    2. THE ONE TRUE GOD


    We believe in the existence of the One True God, Elohim, Maker of
    the whole universe; indefinable, but revealed as Triune Godhead—
    Father, Son and Holy Spirit-One in nature, essence and attributes;
    Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent (Genesis 1:1; Mathew
    3:16-17; 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

    3. MAN’S DEPRAVED NATURE


    We believe that “all men have sinned and come short of the glory
    of God, ” and are subject to eternal punishment; and need
    repentance and regeneration (Genesis 3:1-19); Isaiah 53:6).

    4. THE SAVIOUR
    We believe that man’s need of a Saviour has been met in the
    person of Jesus Christ, because of His deity, virgin birth, sinless
    life, atoning death, resurrection and ascension; His abiding and
    Second Coming to judge the living and the dead (Mathew 1:2;
    John 4:42; Philippians 2:6-11).
    5. REPENTANCE, REGENERATION, JUSTIFICATION AND
    SANCTIFICATION
    We believe that all men have to repent of and confess their sins
    before God, and believe in the vicarious death of Jesus Christ to
    be justified before God. We believe in the sanctification of the
    believer through the working of the Holy Spirit and in God’s gift of
    eternal life to the believer (Luke 15:7; Acts 2: 38; Romans 4:25;
    5:16; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 1 Thessalonians 4: 3).

    6. THE SACRAMENTS OF BAPTISM AND THE LORD’S SUPPER


    We believe in the Sacrament of Baptism by immersion as a
    testimony of a convert who has attained a responsible age of
    about 15 years. (Infants and children are not baptized but are
    dedicated to the Lord). We believe in the participation in the
    Sacrament by members who are in full fellowship (Mathew
    28:19-20; Mark 16:16; Luke 22:19-20).

    7. BAPTISM, GIFTS AND FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT


    We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit for believers with
    signs following; also in the operation of the gifts and the fruit of
    the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers (Mark 16:17; Acts 2:4;1
    Corinthians 12:8-11; Galatians 5:22-23).

    8. DIVINE HEALING
    We believe that the healing of sickness and disease is provided
    for God’s people in the atonement. The Church is, however, not
    opposed to soliciting the help of qualified medical practitioners (2
    Kings 20:7; Mathew 9:12; Luke 10:34; Colossians 4:14).

    9. TITHES AND OFFERING


    We believe in tithing and in the giving of free-will offerings
    towards the cause of carrying forward the Kingdom of God. We
    believe that God blesses a cheerful giver (Genesis 14:18-20;
    28:20-22; Malachi 3:6-10; Mathew 23:23; Acts 20:35; 1 Corinthians
    16:1-3; 2 Corinthians 9:1-9).

    10. THE SECOND COMING AND THE NEXT LIFE


    We believe in the Second Coming of Christ and the Resurrection
    of the dead, both the saved and the unsaved - they that are saved,
    to the resurrection of life; and the unsaved, to the resurrection of
    damnation (Mark 13: 26; Daniel 12:2; John 5: 28-29; Acts 1:11;
    10:42; Romans 2:7-11; 6:23).

    11. MARRIAGE AND FAMILY LIFE


    The church believes in the Divine origination, institution and
    ordination of marriage as the holy union between a man and a
    woman for the mutual help, fellowship and comfort that the one
    ought to have for the other and also for the procreation of
    children and their training in love. With regards to the chastity of
    marriage, the church admonishes all to honour marriage which
    must be entered in all solemnity and the fear of God. Divorce is
    not encouraged and the church does not condone polygamy or
    any deviant sexual behaviour. (Matt. 5:31-32; Rom. 7:1-3, 1 Cor.
    7:10-15)
