Statement of Faith

Our mission is to embrace God's truth and purpose, dedicating our lives to serving Christ, our Lord. A more complete Statement of Faith is available in our resource centre at Centre 150.

  • The Unwavering Authority of Scripture

    Our cornerstone belief rests in the Bible, unfailing and true, the ultimate guide for faith and conduct (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21; Rom. 3:2). Its divine teachings shape our foundation, guiding every aspect of our lives and convictions.

  • The Incarnate Jesus

    Jesus, born of the Virgin Mary, embodies true divinity and humanity. His life, crucifixion, and resurrection embody God's grace and redemptive power (Matt. 1:18; Phil. 2:5-8; Luke 24; Acts 1:3-9).

  • The Resurrected Advocate

    Conquering death, Jesus ascended as our High Priest, interceding on our behalf. His resurrection gives hope and assurance of salvation (1 Cor. 15:4; Heb. 7:23-25; Acts 1;11).

  • The Spirit's Guiding Presence

    The Holy Spirit, our Helper, indwells believers, convicting and guiding. His empowering presence equips us for ministry and shapes our character (Eph. 1:13; John 14:16; Rom. 12:6-8).

  • The Triune Nature of God

    In perfect unity, God exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This eternal bond shapes our faith and understanding, revealing the depths of divine love and wisdom (2 Cor. 13:14; Gen. 1; Ps. 65; Ps. 104).
