The Lordship  of Christ

As individuals and as a church we seek to make  Jesus Lord in every aspect of our lives.

The Authority of  the Bible

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God  and that the Holy Spirit through the Bible shows us God's way  for living.

As sincere believers, we seek to root our lives  in the revelation of God's truth.

Baptism for  believers

On the basis of the New Testament, We claim  that baptism is for believers only and is only for those who are  able to declare Jesus is Lord.  As a symbol of Jesus' claim  on our lives, we practice baptism by immersion, in which  candidates symbolise their desire to die to self and to live for  Christ.

A Welcoming Church

We understand the  church as a community of believers gathered by the Holy Spirit  in the name of Jesus Christ for worship, witness and service.    Central to our worship is prayer and praise, listening to  God's word in preaching and gathering around the Lord's Table.

We also welcome into our church anyone who seeks to know  more about spiritual things and will do all in our power to make  their stay with us a happy experience.

The Priesthood of  all Believers

In the Baptist model of a believer's  church every member has a role to play, whether in teaching,  faith-sharing, evangelism, social action, pastoring, guiding,  serving, prophetic insight, praying, healing, administration or  hospitality.

The Church Meeting

In a Baptist  church, an illustration of the priesthood of all believers is  the church meeting. This is the occasion when members come  together to prayerfully discern God's will for our life  together. In Baptist churches the final authority rests with Jesus Christ revealing His  will through the members gathered together in church meetings, not with the ministers or leadership team.  It is the church meeting which, for instance, appoints  ministers, deacons, and others who exercise various forms of  leadership within a local congregation, agrees financial policy  and determines mission strategy. Church meetings are held  bi-monthly.  The Pastor functions as a church member with  special responsibilities in caring for the members and leading  in the church's mission. Our authority is in the affirmation of  the congregation acting under God's guidance.
