As a local fellowship of Christians, we adhere to the Basis of Faith of the German Evangelical Alliance, as stated below.
We believe in the revelation of God in the Old and New Testament Scriptures.
In particular, we believe in the following biblical principles, which form the basic tenet of our Christian faith and are intended to promote mutual love, sacrificial service and diligence in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We believe in...
-
The grace and sovereignty of God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - in creation, revelation, redemption, final judgement and consummation.
-
The divine inspiration of the Scriptures, their entire trustworthiness (inerrancy) and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct (all-sufficiency).
-
The universal sinfulness and guilt of fallen man, making him subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
-
The substitutionary sacrifice of the incarnate Son of God as the sole all-sufficient ground of redemption from the guilt and power of sin, and from its eternal consequences.
-
The justification of the sinner solely by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ crucified and risen from the dead.
-
The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance and unites us with Christ through new birth; and His indwelling and sanctifying work in all believers.
-
The priesthood of all believers, who form the universal Church, the Body, of which Christ is the Head, and which is committed by His command to the proclamation of the Gospel throughout the world.
-
The continued existence of the personality of man, which is a gift from God. The personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ in power and glory, who will raise all people to judgement and bring eternal life to the redeemed in glory.
