Statement of Faith

1. We acknowledge that God is triune; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We further acknowledge God as Creator, Sustainer and Lord of all life.

2. We acknowledge the divine inspiration of the Holy Scripture and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

3. We recognise that mankind is unique, being made in the image of God and created to be in relationship with Him.

4. We believe that wholeness requires 'man' to be in harmony with God, with society, with 'himself' and with his environment.

5. We acknowledge the universality of sin which has destroyed that wholeness.

6. We recognise the existence of Satan and the bondage he can create in 'man' but would proclaim the redeeming work of Christ as sufficient to liberate any man who turns to Him.

7. We recognise the unlimited power that God has to heal. That power is operative both through traditional medical practice and within the Healing Ministry of the Church, which we see as complementary to each other.

8. We would further proclaim that only in Christ is there total forgiveness for all sin for all who place their trust in Him.

9. We believe in the illuminating, regenerating, indwelling and sanctifying work of God the Holy Spirit.

10. We recognise that God created man with a free will and does not seek to compel him in an aspect of belief or conduct but rather to draw him in love.
