We believe that the entire canon of the written Scriptures is plenary- inspired of God and is a completely sufficient rule of faith and life (2 Timothy 3:16, John 5:39). We employ both the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is the foundation of the New Testament and is thus relevant even in our times (Psalm 11:3, Matthew 5:17).

We adhere to the Westminster Confession of Faith (1646 AD) and the Cambridge Platform (1648 AD), the caveat of the Separatist Puritans, as long as their contents are in agreement with the Holy Scriptures.

We believe in the unity of the Godhead, “there be three persons, of one substance, power and eternity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost…” [WCF II (III)] (I John 5:7).

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, that He was not imputed with the sin of Adam (Matthew 1:20, Luke 1:35); that He is fully God and fully man (John 1:14, Philippians 2:6-8, Colossians 2:9); that He died for the sins of the elect (John 3:16) and was resurrected on the 3rd day (Luke 24:46), ascended up to heaven and sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high (Hebrews 1:3). We rejoice and worship our risen Saviour on every Lord’s Day, the first day of the week (Psalm 118:22-24).

We believe that God created the world and all that is therein by the power of His word in six literal days (Genesis 1, Psalm 33:6, Colossians 1:16).

We believe that because of Adam’s first transgression, all his posterity sinned and fell in him. “They being the root of all mankind, the guilt of this sin was imputed; and the same death in sin, and corrupted nature, conveyed to all their posterity descending from them by ordinary generation” [WCF VI (III)] (Genesis 3, Romans 3: 9- 10, Romans 5: 12,14). Therefore, our will is in bondage and we are unable to do any spiritual good (Romans 7:15-16, Matthew 15:19).

We believe that a man is justified by the accomplished redemptive work of Jesus Christ alone (Acts 4:12). It is the sovereign God Who elects (Romans 9:9-21), pardons and justifies a sinner at a point in time of his/her life (Genesis 15:6, Romans 4:2-5).

We affirm that a fallen man can never be justified by the deeds of the law (Romans 3:20). We also believe in the necessity of the preparatory work to humble and prepare a man for God’s deliverance (Isaiah 40:3-4). “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith” (Galatians 3:24).

We affirm with the Westminster Divines that the inward illumination of the Holy Spirit is necessary for a saving understanding of the sacred contents of the Scriptures. We believe that professing Christians should seek to experience the life of God in the soul of man (Ephesians 4:18), the presence of Christ (Psalm 104:34) and the quiet moving and effectual working of the Holy Spirit (John 7:38- 39, Ephesians 5:18b).

We hold in high regard and consider these to be our godly forebears that God has raised up for the preservation and spiritual wellbeing of His Church through the ages: the early church fathers, the pre-Reformers, the Reformers, the Puritans especially the Separatist Puritans and the authentic Calvinistic revivalists. We fully affirm and echo the tenets that ignited the Protestant Reformation: Sola Scriptura, Justification by Faith and Papacy is the Antichrist.

We believe that the head of the Church is the Lord Jesus Christ and a body of true believers that comprise this Church (1 Corinthians 12:12-14, Colossians 1:18, 3:11). These believers are found all over the world, in their local congregations and having their own local leaders (Psalm 19:3, Psalm 46:4, Matthew 18:20), who autonomously govern in accordance with biblical principles to guide and direct the members under them (Judges 8:23).

We adhere and conform to the Regulative Principle of worship as opposed to the Normative Principle of worship. The essence of this doctrine is that there must be a Scriptural warrant, either explicit or implicit, for every element of the public worship service and gathering (Exodus 25:9, Leviticus 10:1-3, Hebrews 8:5b). Hence, we employ the Psalms and other metricated portions of the Scripture for hymnology exclusively during corporate worship (Ephesians 5:19) and we believe that preaching is the central focus of the worship service (1 Corinthians 1:17-18).

We believe in the administration of the ordinance of water baptism as an expression of one’s commitment to the doctrines we espouse (Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:41, Acts 8:34-38). Our members also partake in the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper as an expression and affirmation of their consecration, commitment and love towards the Lord Jesus Christ and His Church. (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

In every epoch of history, God raises His servants. We believe that ministers and preachers must be called and sent of God (Romans 10:13-15) and have the duty to faithfully preach the Word of God (Acts 20:27, 2 Corinthians 4:4).

We are adherents of the Amillennial view of eschatology and believe that we are in the days of final apostasy (1 Timothy 4:1, 2 Timothy 3:1-7) and the second coming of the Lord is nigh (2 Peter 3:10-12).
