We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came to this earth as the Saviour of the world. Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood for our sins. We believe that salvation is found by placing our faith in what Jesus did for us on the cross. We believe Jesus rose from the dead and is coming again. Baptism “Water” is a symbol of the cleansing power of the blood of Christ and a testimony to our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe there is eternal life after death.
