Our Beliefs

We are committed to radically embracing and defending the truth of the gospel in its entirety. The following sections break down our core beliefs into three main sections: God; Humanity; and the Gospel. Though we don’t require that attendees agree with our beliefs, we do kindly ask ask that they are respected at our events.

  1. We believe in the divine inspiration and supremacy of the Word of God – fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.
  2. We believe that that there exists one true God, who lives eternally in three persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
  3. We believe that God is loving, gracious, and sovereign in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.

  1. We believe that all people have inherent dignity, being made male and female in God’s image to love, be holy, and care for creation, yet were corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.
  2. We believe that marriage of one man and one woman is the setting for sexual union.
  3. We believe that men and women are equal in the role of leadership and teaching.

  1. We believe that God’s eternal son – the Lord Jesus Christ – was physically incarnated, being born of a virgin – Mary, and that He was truly divine and truly human, yet was without sin.
  2. We believe that the death of Jesus Christ on the cross was an atoning sacrifice for our sins and that by dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, He so reconciled us with God.
  3. We believe that Jesus Christ was resurrected and ascended to the Father bodily, that He is the First Fruits of our own resurrection, and that He reigns and mediates over the world as its one and only saviour.
  4. We believe that the justification of sinners is solely by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ.
  5. We believe that the ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through a new birth, empowers our discipleship, and enables our witness.
  6. We believe that Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, an establish a new heaven and a new earth.
