ABOUT US
Who we are?
We are a group of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our aim is to meet according to the pattern shown in the New Testament part of the Bible. We assume no title and have no denominational adherence but only have allegiance to Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. (Matthew 18:20, 1 John 1:3)
We live today in a very uncertain world and so we tell others about the good news of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Our only objective is that people may find the joy and peace in life that we have found. The message we preach is based on the Bible and around the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s eternal Son, died for our sins on the cross and rose again the third day. He is willing and able to save all who place their faith in Him. The result is that anyone who repents (acknowledges their sin to God) and trusts Jesus Christ as Lord can know the joy of sins fully forgiven and can have a place in heaven guaranteed for them. (John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10, Acts 16:30-31)
What we believe?
The Lord Jesus Christ
As the second Person of the trinity, we believe that the Lord Jesus Christ possesses all the divine excellencies, and is coequal and coeternal with the Father. (John 10:30, 14:9)
​
In His incarnation (God becoming man), He accepted all the essential characteristics of humanity, without sin, and was virgin-born in Bethlehem. He had come to earth with the purpose to reveal God and redeem men from the cruelty of sin.
(Philippians 2:5-8, Matthew 1:23,
1 Tim 1:15)
Through the shedding of His blood and sacrificial death on the cross, we believe that everyone who places their trust in Him is freed from the punishment and the power of sin, and is given eternal life and adopted into the family of God. (1 Peter 2:24, Romans 5:8,
Acts 13:38)
​
Having risen from the grave and ascended back in to Heaven, God has highly exalted Him and
some day soon Jesus Christ will return to receive the church unto himself at the rapture.
(Romans 4:25, 1 Cor 15:3-4,
Acts 1: 9-11)
​
There is a day coming when He will establish His kingdom on earth and be King of Kings. As the mediator between God and men, He will also be the final judge of all who fail to place their trust in Him as Lord & Saviour.
(Acts 17:30-31, Matthew 25:31-46)
Salvation From Sin
While sin has caused havoc to our world, it has brought with it a serious consequence. The Bible teaches that the penalty for sin is death. We all, regardless of race, gender and age, are born in to this world with a sinful nature. We can never live a life for God or be in Heaven at the end of life unless we have our sins forgiven. (Romans 5:12, 6:23, Revelation 21:27)
No matter how hard we try or assume that others can forgive our sins, mankind has no ability of themselves to save themselves. Money, goodness, religious activities will never forgive sins.
(Ephesians 2:8-9, 1 Peter 1:18-19)
God desires for all men to be saved, therefore God sent His sinless, perfect Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to be the Saviour of the world. God punished Him on the cross for the sins of the world so men and women could have their sins forgiven. (2 Peter 3:9, Acts 13:28, 2 Cor 5:21, 1 Tim 1:15)
Sins forgiven and eternal security can only come through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
(Acts 3:19, 16:30-31, John 6:37)
The Church
We believe that all who place their faith in Jesus Christ are immediately placed into one united spiritual body, the church, of which Christ is the Head.
(1 Cor 12:12-13, Ephesians 1:22, Colossians 1:18)
​
The purpose of the church is to glorify God, by building itself up in the faith, by instruction of the Word, by fellowship, by keeping the ordinances and spreading the gospel to the entire world.
(Ephesians 3:21, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Luke 22:19, Mark 16:15)
​
While the formation of the church began on the Day of Pentecost, we believe that the church will be completed at the coming of Christ for His own at the rapture. (Acts 2:1-21, 1 Cor 15:51-52)
​
Following the New Testament pattern for the church, we believe that the Lord's Supper (Breaking of Bread) is the commemoration and proclamation of His death until He comes. While the emblems of communion are only representative of the flesh and blood of Christ, this weekly event in accordance with Scripture, signifies the greatness of His person and the work He has accomplished. (1 Cor 11:23-25, Luke 22:19-20)
The Bible
The Bible, the greatest book in the world, is God's written revelation to man. Split into two sections, the New Testament and the Old Testament, combining a total of 66 books, is the complete Word of God to mankind and is fully inspired by God without error in the original manuscripts.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17,
Isaiah 40:8, Mark 13:31)
Through the Holy Spirit, different men with their individual personalities and styles of writing, composed and recorded God's word to man. (2 Peter 1:21, 2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Thessalonians 2:13)
The Bible is our absolute standard, authoritative and sufficient in all matters of faith and doctrine.
(Romans 10:17, 15:4, Psalm 1:1-3, 119:105, Hebrews 4:12)
Mankind
Created by God in His own image and likeness, mankind was created free of sin with intelligence, self-determination and moral responsibility to God. (Genesis 2:7, 15-25, James 3:9)
The purpose in God creating mankind was that the people of this world would glorify Him, enjoy His fellowship and live a life in the will of God. (Colossians 1:16, Isaiah 43:7, Revelation 4:11)
​
As a result of Adam's sin of disobedience, mankind lost his innocence and incurred the penalty of spiritual and physical death and became subject to the wrath of God. By Adam's sin, sin has transmitted to all men of all ages. All men are sinners by nature, by choice and by divine declaration.
Without any power to recover himself, man is hopelessly lost by himself. It is only by the grace of God through the death & resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ that mankind can have their sins forgiven. (Romans 3:23, 4:25 5:12, 6:23, 1 John 1:8, Acts 13: 38)
​
God's desire is that all mankind would be saved from eternal punishment, freed from the power of sin and brought in to the family of God.
(1 Timothy 2:4, Acts 17:30,
2 Peter 3:9)
Creation
In the beginning God created the heaven & the earth. (Genesis 1:1)
​
In just 6 days God created the expanse of the universe, the twinkling stars, the glowing sun, the rotating planets. Oceans, land, towering mountains & fast flowing rivers all came into being at the cry of His voice. From the roaring of a lion to the stillness of a little worm, He made it all and having created mankind in His own image, God would look at His creation and see that it was very good. (Genesis 1:1-31,
Acts 17: 24, Isaiah 42:5)
​
As the Creator, He designed it, He created it, He sustains it and perfectly controls it. (Hebrews 1:3, Colossians 1:16-17, Psalm 19:1)
​
A world was created where no flaw, no decay and no sin existed. It was in this world that God desired that mankind would enjoy His fellowship and presence with Him. (Psalm 8:3-4, Isaiah 43:7)
