Doctrinal
A short declaration
As an assembly of believers, we declare that there is one God, and one saviour - Jesus Christ.
That the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the divinely inspired testimony of God.
That the New Testament is both historical and instructional, and written for the Church of Jesus Christ, and contains all necessary teaching (doctrine) required in the life of the Church and in the life of the believer.

What we believe and teach
The New Testament in divinely inspired and its teaching is Apostolic. Therefore, we acknowledge fully the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Apostles.
"God our Saviour"
Jesus Christ is the only begotten [John1:14] Son of God [John 1:34], that He was divinely conceived and born of a virgin (Mary of Nazareth) [Matt. 1:18]. That He was called and sent by God to be the Saviour of all men [I Tim. 4:10], and that all who believe in Him may receive eternal life, and be saved from sin and from the judgement of God [John 3:16-17]. That there is no other saviour than Jesus Christ [Acts 4:12]. [See also: I Tim. 1:1, 2:3, Titus 1:3, 2:10, 3:4, & Jude 1:25]."He shall baptise you in the Holy Spirit"
Jesus baptises in the Holy Spirit [Matt 3:11, Mark 1:8, Luke 3:16, John 1:33], and those baptised into His body make up the Church of Jesus Christ [I Cor. 12:13]."Let all things be done unto edifying"
The gifts of the Spirit are given to those baptised by Jesus Christ [Rom. 12:4-8, Eph. 4:8-16] for the edification of His body, and for personal edification [I Cor. 14:1-32].Traditions
We hold to no religious traditions, save those ordained by Christ and His Apostles, viz. Water Baptism [Matt. 28:19, Acts 2:38, Acts 8:36-38, 10:47, etc.], Breaking of Bread (Communion) [I Cor. 11:23-32], and Headship [I Cor. 11:2-16].Complementarian
We believe and teach that masculinity and femininity are ordained by God and that men and women are created to complement each other in the home and in the Church [Genesis 1:26–27, Ephesians 5:21–33]. See more...Submission and Humility
As members of the body of Christ we are subject one to another [I Peter 5:5], and to those appointed by the Lord to be overseers [Heb. 13:17]. -
Fellowship
One Spirit, One Body, One Baptism
"For in one Spirit are we all baptized into one body... and have been all made to drink into one Spirit." I Corinthians 12:13"Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
[There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." Ephesians 4:3-6(Hear message on this teaching)
Those who know the Lord Jesus Christ desire fellowship with fellow believers.
“Our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ”
The Apostle John wrote “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.” (I John 1:3)As a company of Christian believers, our desire is to fellowship which others who know the Lord Jesus and who are in personal fellowship with the Lord.
“…the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” II Corinthians 3:17
Our meetings are without formality, ceremony or man-made traditions, and function under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and leading of the Holy Spirit. This means that worship, singing, and praying is spontaneous, and that the “manifestation of the Spirit” is expected amongst us.
