God is unchangeablein His holiness, justice, wisdom and love. He is the almighty Creator,Saviour and Judge who sustains and governs all things according to Hissovereign will for His own glory.The BibleGod has revealed Himself in the Bible, which consists of the Old andNew Testaments alone. Every word was inspired by God through humanauthors, so that the Bible as originally given is in its entirety the Wordof God, without error and fully reliable in fact and doctrine. The Biblealone speaks with final authority and is always sufficient for all mattersof belief and practice.The Human RaceAll men and women, being created in the image of God, have inherentand equal dignity and worth. Their greatest purpose is to obey, worshipand love God. As a result of the fall of our first parents, every aspect ofhuman nature has been corrupted and all men and women are withoutspiritual life, guilty sinners and hostile to God. Every person is thereforeunder the just condemnation of God and needs to be born again,forgiven and reconciled to God in order to know and please Him.The Lord Jesus ChristOUR CONFESSION OF FAITHThe Lord Jesus Christ is fully God and fullyman. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit,born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life inobedience to the Father. He taught withauthority and all His words are true. Onthe cross, He died in the place of sinners,bearing God's punishment for their sin,redeeming them by His blood. He rosefrom the dead and in His resurrectionbody ascended into heaven where He isexalted as Lord of all. He intercedes forHis people in the presence of the Father.4SalvationSalvation is entirely a work of God's grace and cannot be earned ordeserved. It has been accomplished by the Lord Jesus Christ and isoffered to all in the gospel. God, in His love, forgives sinners whom Hecalls, granting them repentance and faith. All who believe in Christ arejustified by faith alone, adopted into the family of God and receiveeternal life.The Holy SpiritThe Holy Spirit has been sent from heaven to glorify Christ and to applyHis work of salvation. He convicts sinners, imparts spiritual life andgives a true understanding of the Scriptures. He indwells all believers,brings assurance of salvation and produces increasing likeness toChrist. He builds up the Church and empowers its members for worship,service and mission.The ChurchThe universal Church is the body of which Christ is the head and towhich all who are saved belong. It is made visible in local churches,which are congregations of believers who are committed to each otherfor the worship of God, the preaching of the Word, the administering ofBaptism and the Lord's Supper, for pastoral care and discipline, and forevangelism. The unity of the body of Christ is expressed within andbetween churches by mutual love, care and encouragement. Truefellowship between churches exists only where they are faithful to thegospel.Baptism and the Lord's SupperBaptism and the Lord's Supper have been given to the churches byChrist as visible signs of the gospel. Baptism is a symbol of union withChrist and entry into His Church but does not impart spiritual life. TheLord's Supper is a commemoration of Christ's sacrifice offered once, forall, and involves no change in the bread and wine. All its blessings arereceived by faith.The FutureThe Lord Jesus Christ will return in glory. He will raise the dead andjudge the world in righteousness. The wicked will be sent to eternalpunishment and the righteous will be welcomed into a life of eternal joyin fellowship with God. God will make all things new and will beglorified forever.5ABOUT THEROLEJOB PURPOSEROLE OF THE OPERATIONS TEAMThis new position will play a key role in our growing staff team.
