Beliefs

In Short:

God
In one God, who exists as three different but equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Bible
That the Bible is the Word of God, and that there is no better guide on earth as to what we should believe and how we should live our lives.

Men & Women
That everyone is born a sinner, and as such is subject to God’s wrath, the punishment of death, and eternity in Hell.

Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, alone paid the penalty for sin and as such is the only Redeemer of men. Having risen from the grave Jesus Christ now resides in Heaven from where He rules the nations until the day of His glorious return, a day which will usher in His judgement.

Getting to Heaven
Repentance of sin and turning in faith to accept Jesus Christ as Saviour is the only way of salvation from the wrath of God and ultimate eternal punishment.

Being a Christian
That it is the duty of Christians by the help of the Holy Spirit to strive to put to death sin and to live a life to glorify God based on what God has written in His Word.

Going Deeper
Our beliefs are summarised more thoroughly in the Westminster Standards (Westminster Confession of Faith, Larger Catechism, and Shorter Catechism) and Covenants (National Covenant and Solemn League and Covenant). All of our ministers, elders, and deacons confess these doctrines as their own personal faith without qualification or mental reservation.
