God

There is only one true God, who exists eternally in three distinct but equal persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
God is unchanging in His holiness, justice, wisdom, and love.
He is the almighty Creator, the Saviour of His people, and the righteous Judge of all.
God sustains and governs all things, all of history, and all of creation according to His sovereign will and for His glory.

The Bible

God has revealed Himself in the Scriptures, which consist solely of the Old and New Testaments.
Every word was breathed out by God through human writers, so that the Bible, in its original form, is entirely God’s Word—without error and completely trustworthy.
The Scriptures alone carry final authority and are wholly sufficient for all matters of faith and practice.

The Human Race

All people, created in the image of God, possess inherent and equal dignity and worth.
Humanity’s highest purpose is to know, love, worship, and obey God.
However, because of the fall of our first parents, every aspect of human nature has been corrupted. All are spiritually dead, guilty of sin, and opposed to God.
Therefore, every person stands under God’s just judgment and must be justified—through the forgiveness and reconciliation made possible by Christ—in order to truly know God and live in a way that pleases Him.

The Lord Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man.
He was born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Spirit, and lived a perfect, sinless life in obedience to the Father.
He taught with authority, and all His words are true.
On the cross, He died in the place of sinners, bearing the punishment they deserved and redeeming them with His blood.
He rose from the dead, and in His resurrection body ascended into heaven, where He is exalted as Lord over all.
He intercedes before the Father on behalf of His people.
Salvation is found in Christ alone.

Salvation

Salvation is entirely the result of God’s grace and can neither be earned nor deserved.
It has been accomplished through the once-for-all substitutionary death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, and is offered freely to all through the gospel.
In love, God forgives those He calls, granting them repentance and faith.
All who trust in Christ are justified by grace alone, in Christ alone; His righteousness is credited to them so that they stand forgiven, accepted as God’s children, and heirs of eternal life.

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, was sent from heaven to glorify Christ and apply His saving work to God’s people.
He convicts of sin, gives new spiritual life, and grants true understanding of Scripture, which He inspired and continues to speak through today.
He dwells within all believers, assuring them of salvation, and though Christians continue to struggle with sin, the Spirit steadily works to conform them to the likeness of Christ.
He strengthens the Church and equips its members for worship, service, and mission.

The Church

The universal Church is the body of which Christ is the Head, and all who are saved belong to it.
It becomes visible in local churches—gatherings of believers who commit themselves to one another for:


  • The worship of God
  • The faithful preaching of the Word
  • The administration of baptism and the Lord’s Supper
  • Pastoral care and loving discipline
  • Mutual encouragement and love
  • Calling all people to repentance and faith in the gospel of Christ
  • Equipping believers for works of mercy and justice in the world, reflecting God’s care over all creation


The unity of Christ’s body is displayed within and between churches through mutual love, care, and encouragement.
Genuine fellowship among churches exists only where they remain faithful to the gospel.

The Future

Jesus Christ will return in glory.
He will raise the dead and judge the world with perfect righteousness.
The wicked will be condemned to eternal punishment, while the righteous will enter everlasting joy in fellowship with God in the promised new creation.
God will renew all things and be glorified in everything forever.
