-
We worship the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;
-
with Him are the origin and destiny of nature and of man.
-
Our knowledge of God and His ways comes primarily from the Bible.
-
Through these writings God speaks.
-
He is holy and righteous, merciful and steadfastly loving.
-
He desires that men should live in fellowship with Him and each other.
-
In their selfcentredness all men defy Gods purpose for their lives.
-
They are alienated from God and unable to find their own way back to Him.
-
In the life, teaching, crucifixion and triumphant resurrection of Jesus Christ, His one true Son, God has revealed Himself to men and reconciled them to Himself.
-
By the working of the Holy Spirit we are invited and enabled to turn from our sin and put our faith in Christ.
-
In the Christian fellowship we enter upon a new life of praise, joy, peace, freedom, service, witness and love.
-
Christians are not immune from grief and pain, and are called to be ready for sacrifice in serving Christ.
-
Yet we are assured of the help of God in bearing the burdens of life and overcoming its difficulties.
-
The reality of God is greater than any mans understanding of it; we can set no limits to His power.
-
In the light of the resurrection Christians face all their future, including death, with confidence in the sufficiency of God.
