• Bible - It's the only word of God, holy, inspired and
without errors in the original manuscripts.
• Eternal Life - It's only by grace through faith in Jesus
Christ, but faith in Him without works is dead.

the life, and He is truly man and truly God in one
Person. Therefore, there is one God in three Persons –
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

7. OUR BELIEFS
• Image of God in man - Distorted now by sin, but it
remains, and is the reason why sinful man may seek or
long for eternity.

heaven, but we don't know when.
• Filling of the Holy Spirit – It’s the need of every
genuine believer, and is always experiential in nature.

for salvation, but also for sanctification, for their
situation in life, and for service in the kingdom of God.
