About us
Our church was founded on the truth of “Life only in Christ” or “Conditional Immortality”. This means we believe the Bible teaches that we don’t go to heaven or hell at death. Since it is only by faith in Jesus Christ that people are granted immortality we may say that God has made immortality conditional upon faith in Christ and this becomes a reality for the righteous at His coming.
We recognise that other believers may hold a different view and while we promote this doctrine we also strive for mutual sensitivity in doctrinal differences. It is not our purpose to cause division or discord in the Body of Christ; after all, we are Christians first and foremost through faith in those fundamental beliefs which unify us as listed below.
Our Mission
We exist to encourage each other on this journey of Christian faith, to share this message with others and to encourage one another to grow in maturity in Christ.
“No book but the Bible
No creed but Christ
In essentials unity
In non-essentials liberty
And in all things charity
We are Christians only but not the only Christians”
Our Beliefs
We believe God is the Creator of all things and is therefore worthy to receive all glory, honour and praise. (Revelation 4:11)
We believe Jesus Christ is the sinless Son of God. He is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. (John 14:6)
We believe Jesus Christ died for us in obedience to God’s will and through his sacrifice became the Saviour of the world. (Romans 5:6-11)
We believe God raised Jesus Christ from the dead and has highly exalted him to God’s right hand. (Philippians 2:9-11)
We believe in the infallibility of God’s word, the Bible. It is God’s message to us and our main source of daily instruction. (Psalm 119:105)
We believe God’s spirit empowers those who believe to help them grow and mature in their faith and their daily Christian life.
We believe the church is God’s community of believers. It’s purpose is to encourage believers, to represent God in the world, encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:25)
