What we believe.
At the heart of our congregational life is the conviction that Jesus Christ is our Saviour and Lord. We believe that He saves us from the power of sin and guilt and rules over us by His Word and through His Holy Spirit. As we put our faith in Christ, we find forgiveness for the wrong we have done, and we also discover the power to change our lives to harmonize with the will of God.
As a congregation, we make it our aim to live for Christ not just on Sunday but on every day of the week and in every part of life. We hope that the witness of our words and our life will also attract our neighbours to the salvation which God gives in Christ.
Summary of Faith
By grace alone.
Salvation is an unearned and undeserved gift from God bestowed on believers because of what Christ did. See what the Bible says in 2 Timothy 1:9.
By faith alone.
These words express the teaching of the Bible that God’s salvation is not given to us because of our virtue but only through faith in Jesus Christ. Read what the Bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9.
In Christ alone.
Salvation is anchored in Christ’s sacrificial death and His glorious resurrection. In Him and in Him alone do believers have forgiveness of our sins. See what the Bible says in Titus 3:5-7.
By scripture alone.
The Bible alone is our authority for what we believe and for how we should live. See what the Bible says about itself in 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
To God alone be the glory.
This saying communicates the truth that God alone deserves acclaim for saving sinners. It also indicates that human beings should live for God and not for themselves. See what the Bible says in Romans 11:36.
