The following Christian doctrines give an expression of the core beliefs of the Ministry, (as at January 1996):

We believe –

• in one God – Father, Son, Holy Spirit – who is revealed to humankind in many and varied ways, but especially and ultimately in Jesus;
• that the Bible – Old and New Testaments – is the inspired ‘Word of God’, and authoritative for faith and conduct;
• that all humans, being made in the image of God, have infinite dignity and worth, but they have chosen to sin against God;
• that we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ, in order to follow him in a life of love and obedience, doing in our world ministries of justice, mercy and evangelism as he did in his;
• that God’s family comprises ‘the Church’, and we are invited to join a local church (through baptism in water and in the Spirit), in which, led by pastors, elders and others, we are all ‘ministers’, in unity with all who similarly acknowledge Jesus as Lord;
• that as Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit was God’s agent in creation, so also Jesus shall come again ‘to judge the living and the dead.’
