Evangelical

In line with this gospel-centredness we unashamedly bear the name Evangelical. Together with Christ’s supreme authority and rule in His church by His word, we embrace Scripture as our highest authority above such things as culture, experience, philosophy, and other forms of revelation, whether Christian, religious or secular.

To be evangelical therefore is to uphold the centrality and authority of the gospel.

In order to uphold the authority of Christ’s word, we often face the necessary task of arguing against false teaching that threatens the church even though our ultimate concern is preserving the integrity of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Because of this, we are conscious of the watershed that the church experienced in making a stand for the Gospel called the Reformation.

Reformed

As Chrisians making our stand to be faithful to Christ today, we stand on the shoulders of giants like Calvin, Luther, Zwingli, Bullinger, Cranmer. Not everything Reformed is Right, but they treated the Bible as their supreme authority.

Like them, we are not ashamed to proclaim a loving gospel of grace which sounds like foolishness and offensiveness to the unrepentant while also saving multitudes with ears to hear good news.

And we are not moralists seeking to help people live good lives, but instead evangelists, labouring, that people would become new creations in Christ.

And we are not liberals who embrace culture without discernment and compromise the distinctives of the gospel, but rather Christians who believe the truths of the Bible are eternal and therefore fitting for every time, place and people.

We are Reformed in the very fact that we have chosen to make a stand, not because we love dissension or because we believe in perfection in the church this side of heaven.

The temptation to find a theological compromise to preserve some form of unity is great. But our calling is to be faithful to Christ’s teachings in love for the common good of the church, His people.

Church

As His people, who have received the benefits of His Work and His Word:
We are not embarrassed by the bloody propitiatory death of Jesus Christ and do believe He died as a substitute for the sins of His people in selfless love.
We believe in the sovereignty and foreknowledge of God in all things.
We recognise that in the sinfulness of man, every church that is reformed has to be continuously reforming (semper reformata).

As His church, we are to be a living witness to Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit who makes known Christ’s Lordship in the lives of His disciples.

If you seek fellowship with the Lord and with His people according to His gospel, we invite you to meet with us in our local gatherings.
