What we believe


The motto, "In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity,” defines our heart attitude. The key fundamental is a personal experience of salvation through Jesus Christ. All who have accepted Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord and have been born again can become members and be received into the fellowship of the church. The members of the church come from a rich variety of church and un-churched backgrounds. We hold to same key fundamentals, such as the deity of Christ, the trinity, salvation through faith, etc. of the Christian faith held by all main denominations. Everyone regardless of background or belief is warmly welcome to our services.

As a Pentecostal/Charismatic Church we accept the reliability of the Bible as the inspired Word of God, that Salvation is through belief in the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, who we also acknowledge as the Healer of the body and the Baptiser in the Holy Spirit, which we believe is a present-day experience for all believers. We believe that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for the Church today and that those who are born of the Spirit should grow in the fruit of the Spirit. We also believe in the personal return of Jesus Christ who will receive to Himself the Church and reign in power and glory.


Our beliefs are encapsulated by the following fundamentals of the Elim Pentecostal Church movement, of which we are a part:

THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible, as originally given, to be without error, the fully inspired and infallible Word of God and the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

THE TRINITY
We believe that the Godhead exists co-equally and co-eternally in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that these three are one God, sovereign in creation, providence and redemption.

THE SAVIOUR
We believe in the true and proper deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His real and complete humanity, in His sinless life, in His authoritative teaching, in His substitutionary and atoning sacrifice through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His heavenly

THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son and the necessity of His work in conviction of sin, repentance, regeneration and sanctification, and that the believer is also promised an enduement of power as the gift of Christ through the baptism in the Holy Spirit with signs following. Through this enduement the believer is empowered for fuller participation in the ministry of the Church, its worship, evangelism and service.

MANKIND
We believe in the universal sinfulness of all men since the Fall, rendering man subject to God's wrath and condemnation.


SALVATION
We believe in the necessity for salvation of the repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by which the sinner is pardoned and accepted as righteous in God's sight. This justification is imputed by the grace of God because of the atoning work of Christ, is received by faith alone and is evidenced by the Fruit of the Spirit and a holy life.

THE CHURCH
We believe in the spiritual unity and the priesthood of all believers in Christ and these comprise the universal Church, the Body of Christ.

THE MINISTRY
We believe in the ministries that Christ has set in His Church, namely, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, and in the present operation of the manifold Gifts of the Holy Spirit according to the New Testament.

THE ORDINANCES
We believe in the baptism of believers by immersion in water in obedience to the command of Christ and in the commemoration of Christ's death by the observance of the Lord's Supper until His return.

THE COMMISSION
We believe that the gospel embraces the needs of the whole man and that the Church is therefore commissioned to preach the gospel to the world and to fulfil a ministry of healing and deliverance to the spiritual and physical needs of mankind.

THE COMING KING
We believe in the personal, physical and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to reign in power and glory.

THE FUTURE STATE
We believe in the resurrection of the dead and in the final judgement of the world, the eternal conscious bliss of the righteous and the eternal conscious punishment of the wicked.
