1. We believe the Scriptures to be the inspired and inherent Word of God and, as such, they are revelation from God to man, the infallible rule of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:16; 1 Peter 2:2).
2. We believe in one God, eternal and self-existent, self-revealed and manifested to man as Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29; Isaiah 43:10 – 11; Matthew 18:19).
3. We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary (John 11:14; Matthew 1:18; Luke 1:26; Luke 2:7; 1 Timothy 2:5).
4. We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and shed His Blood as a sacrifice for our sins. He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God.
5. We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit to glorify Christ, to convict men of sin, righteousness and judgement, and to empower the believer (John 15:26; John 16:8,14; Acts 1:8).
6. We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin (Genesis 1:26 – 31; Genesis 3:1 – 7; Romans 3:24 – 28).
7. We believe that man can be justified only by grace through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 4:11 – 12; Romans 3:24 – 28).
8. We believe that water baptism by immersion identifies us with the death and burial of Christ, and that we should arise to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:3 – 9; 1 Peter 3:21).
9. We believe in the Lord's Supper consisting of the elements – Bread and the Cup of the fruit of the Vine. It is the symbol expressing our sharing the Divine Nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:14), a memorial of His suffering and death, and a prophecy of His second coming (1 Corinthians 11:26), and is enjoined on all believers “until He comes”!
10. We believe that the true Church is composed of such persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit (1 Peter 2:24&25; Ephesians 2:19 – 20).
11. We believe in the personal, literal coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to judge both the living and the dead (1 Thessalonians 4:16; Hebrews 9:27; 1 Corinthians 15:51&52; Revelation 20:11 – 15; Acts 24:15).
12. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead (Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15:35 – 44; Revelation 20:11 – 15).
13. We believe in everlasting blessedness for the believer, with judgement and everlasting punishment for the unbelievers (Matthew 7:21 – 23; Revelation 20:11 – 15; John 5:29).
14. We believe that Christ wants the members of His Church to carry the Gospel into all the world (Matthew 28:18 – 20; Acts 1:8).
15. We believe that the Holy Spirit is at work today with the Church through His gifts, fruits and anointed ministers (Acts 2:39; Romans 12:6 – 8; 1 Corinthians 12:1 – 11; Galatians 5:22 – 23; Ephesians 4:11; 1 Corinthians 12:26).
16. We believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to every believer and need to be activated and exercised to fulfill their divine purpose of blessing the Body of Christ (Acts 2:39; 2 Timothy 1:6).
17. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, wherein the Spirit is sent to gift each believer with their own private praise language used to edify themselves, and that such a baptism empowers the believer to be effective for Christ (Acts 1:8; Acts 2:39; 1 Corinthians 14:2; Jude 20; 1 Corinthians 14:18;Acts 19:1- 6).
18. We believe in the divine healing of the body as part of the atoning work of Jesus Christ. This healing can be received and also ministered to others by various gifts (1 Corinthians 12: 8 –10; Matthew 8:16, 17; 1 Peter 2:24).
19. We believe in the full function of the five-fold ministry, which was given to perfect and equip the saints so they can enter into the work of the ministry, thereby edifying the whole Body of Christ (Ephesians 2:20; Acts 3:21).
20. We believe in the present day ministries of the apostle and prophets, which Christ has set in the church as foundational and revelational ministries. We believe these two ministries will be restored to function in full power and authority before the second coming of Christ (Ephesians 2:20; Acts 3:21).
21. We believe that the Church of Jesus Christ is God's instrument to establish and extend God's Kingdom until the literal coming of Christ to reign over all the earth (Revelation 11:15).
22. We believe in the autonomy of each Satellite Church and that itinerant ministers should be based out of, and relate to, a Satellite Church with accountability to the Senior Pastor (Acts 13:1; Acts 15).
23. We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ expressed as the church individual, the church local, and the church universal and invisible. As such, we believe the church to be more than just a building or a gathering of people. It is a body living in relationship and harmony under direction of the Head, Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 6:15; 2 Corinthians 1:1; Romans 12:4, 5; Ephesians 4:11 – 16).
24. We believe in church discipline administered within the fellowship in a spirit of meekness and confidentiality. The purpose of such discipline is the restoration of the one subject to the discipline and/or the purification of the fellowship group. The steps of discipline are: one-on-one private confrontation, private confrontation with witnesses, and finally, exposure to the network group for judgement leading to restoration or separation (Matthew 18:15 – 20; Galatians 6:1; Romans 16:17; 2 John: 9 – 11; 1 Corinthians 5; 2 Corinthians 1:6 – 8; 1 Timothy 5:20).
25. We believe as members of the same Body of Christ, baptised by one Spirit into one Body, that we must endeavour to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, and as such, that we should not bring a lawsuit against another Christian, individual or ministry unless all Scriptural principles have been complied with through efforts of mediation. We believe that all such disputes should be resolved within the Body of Christ without taking them before unbelievers for judgement (1 Corinthians 6:1 – 8; Ephesians 4:3 – 6).
