In addition to our adherence to the traditional creeds of the Reformed Family of Churches, we highlight the following points:
We believe in the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- that Jesus was (and is) fully human and fully God
- that a personal life-changing relationship with God through Christ is the only way to salvation
- that the Holy Spirit equips us for the work God has prepared for us to do.
We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are:
- inspired by God
- reliable in revealing God’s plan and purpose to us
- the key to growth in our relationship with God
We believe that the Church is called to:
- proclaim Christ as Lord and Saviour
- to reach out to the world in a balanced (physical, spiritual, mental, and social) way in God’s love
- to teach the Word of God in a practical and meaningful way
We believe that worship
- must be sincere and truthful
- can take any form, whether “contemporary” or “traditional” or other
- must reveal the love and majesty of God
- must be orderly
We believe that:
- bearing the fruit of the Holy Spirit is more important than the gifts
of the Spirit and that the gifts must be exercised in an orderly manner. - the Holy Spirit moves in love and unity
- guidance from the Holy Spirit is confirmed by Scripture,
Christian counsel, and practical common sense.
We believe that:
- The Church needs to continue Christ’s ministry of reconciliation
in all walks of life - This imperfect world will come to an end when Jesus comes
- God calls all the members of His Church to participate in His work.
- The divisions of culture, gender, and class have been overcome by Christ and that we also must overcome these divisions.
- The Church should be ready for Christ’s return
