The Elders teach that the church has a clear biblical mandate to spread the good news of the gospel to the world; therefore mission is not an optional program in the church but an essential element in the identity of the church (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:14-15).

The Elders teach that the Holy Spirit is fully God, equal with the Father and the Son, and that His primary ministry is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. He also convicts unbelievers of their need for Christ and imparts spiritual life through regeneration (the new birth). They also affirm that while God still performs miraculous works, these occur through His providential and sovereign hand rather than as a result of an individual’s spiritual gifting.

The Elders teach that the spiritual gifts of tongues, miraculous healing, and prophecy functioned throughout the New Testament as authenticating signs for the early church (Acts 8:14; 10:44-48; 11:15-18; 19:1-6). However, these were never intended to serve as the final evidence of God’s presence in a believer’s life or as confirmation of a “second blessing” or subsequent filling of the Spirit. With the closing of the Apostolic era, these gifts have now ceased, though God continues to work miraculously in response to prayer according to His sovereign and providential will.

Furthermore, the Elders teach that the gift of tongues in the New Testament always presents itself as a known language (Acts 2:6-13) rather than as a private prayer language.

The Elders teach that marriage is a sacred covenant, established by God, uniting one man and one woman for life (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-6). Marriage is a picture of the gospel, representing the love and commitment between Christ and His Church (Ephesians 5:31-32). We affirm that marriage is a gift from God, to be honoured and upheld by all. Within marriage, sexual intimacy is a good and God-given expression of love and unity, reserved exclusively for this covenant relationship (Hebrews 13:4). Marriage exists as a gift to both nonbelievers and believers; however, Scripture prohibits believers from entering into marriage with nonbelievers (1 Corinthians 6:14).

The Elders teach that God created humanity in His image, intentionally and beautifully making each person as male or female (Genesis 1:27). These distinctions in gender are rooted in God's design and purpose, reflecting His glory and creativity. We affirm that gender is a biological and immutable reality, given by God and to be embraced as part of His good creation. While the fall has introduced confusion and brokenness in understanding and expressing gender, we hold to the truth that God’s design is good and trustworthy and therefore reject gender fluidity as a scheme of Satan. As followers of Christ, we are called to honour and live according to God’s design for gender, seeking to reflect His image through the distinctiveness of male and female roles. We also commit to walking in grace and truth with those wrestling with questions of gender identity, offering the hope and redemption found in Christ alone. This conviction seeks to honor God’s perfect design for humanity, rooted in His Word and revealed for His glory and our good.

The Elders teach that men and women are both equally saved and equally called to participate in ministry and that men and women have been created to complement one another, which scripture teaches involves a distinction of roles. For example, scripture makes it clear that the role of Elder is to be fulfilled by godly men who fulfil the necessary qualifications laid out in Titus 1:5-9, 1 Tim. 3:1-7 and 1 Peter 5:1-4. Likewise, that the role of preaching to the gathered church is set aside for godly men as commanded in 1 Tim 2:12-14.

We teach that all human life is sacred, from the moment of conception. Scripture reveals that God is intimately involved in the creation of each person, knowing and ordaining their days before birth (Psalm 139:13-16). The Lord declares His knowledge of individuals even before formation in the womb (Jeremiah 1:5), underscoring the personhood and value of the unborn.

As bearers of God's image (Genesis 1:27), every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, irrespective of developmental stage. Therefore, we are called to protect and cherish life from conception, advocating for the unborn and supporting expectant parents with love.

Politics. The Elders teach that God is sovereign over all nations and governments, appointing rulers and authorities to maintain order and promote justice (Romans 13:1-7). As followers of Christ, we are called to respect and pray for those in leadership, seeking the welfare of the communities and nations where God has placed us (1 Timothy 2:1-2; Jeremiah 29:7). We believe that our ultimate hope is not found in political ideologies, systems, or leaders but in the rule of Christ and obedience to His Word (Philippians 3:20; Matthew 6:33).

Through our allegiance to Christ, we are compelled to seek the good of our communities here and now. We are called to engage with the political world as a means of promoting God’s justice, mercy, and truth (Jeremiah 29:7; Micah 6:8). Our faith motivates us to be active participants in advocating for the dignity of all people, and the flourishing of society, reflecting Christ’s love and character.

The Elders teach that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, not based on foreseen faith but unconditionally, according to his sovereign good pleasure and will (John 6:44; Romans 9:1-29; Ephesians 1:3-14).

The Elders teach that Christ instituted the ordinances of water baptism and the Lord's Supper, both of which are to be observed by believers until He returns (Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

Through water baptism, a believer publicly identifies with Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. While infants of believing parents may be dedicated to the Lord, baptism is reserved for those who can personally articulate their faith and understand its significance.

The Lord's Supper is a memorial of Christ's death and a declaration of our faith in His future return. It is to be regularly practised by all believers. Every Christian has the right to partake in the Lord’s Supper, but participation should always be preceded by serious self-examination.

The Elders teach that angels are spiritual beings who were created as sinless personalities and that they occupy different orders and ranks. They presently exist in both fallen and unfallen states, the former including Satan and his angels (Hebrews 1:13-14; 2 Peter 2:4; Revelation 7:12). Furthermore, that Satan, by his own choice became the enemy of God and His people. He is the originator of sin, which led our first parents into sin and now rules as "the god of this world." He was judged at the cross and that ultimately, he will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Isaiah 14:12-14; Genesis 3:1-19; Hebrews 2:14; Revelation 20:10).

The Elders teach the personal, imminent coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for the Church.

This event, commonly called the rapture, will be followed by great tribulation on earth and will culminate in the visible and bodily return of Jesus Christ to the earth, commonly called the Second Coming, to rule the nations and establish His millennial kingdom (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Philippians 3:20; Matthew 24:15-31; Zechariah 14:4-11; Revelation 19:11-21; 20:1-6).

The Elders teach that the souls of believers in Jesus Christ do, at death, immediately pass into His presence, and there remain with Him until the resurrection of their earthly bodies at His coming for the Church, when their souls and imperishable bodies shall be with Him forever in glory.

The souls of unbelievers remain after death in constant misery in Hades until the final judgment of the Great White Throne at the close of the millennium when soul and body reunited shall be cast into the Lake of Fire, not to be annihilated, but to be punished with everlasting separation from the presence of the Lord (Luke 16:19-26; 23:43; 1 Corinthians 15:42-44; 2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9; Revelation 20:11-15).

The Elders teach that the Church, the Body and Bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism, made up of all born-again persons of this present age. The Church began at Pentecost and that a believer is placed into the Church by the baptising work of the Holy Spirit. We believe the Church is distinct from Israel (Ephesians 1:22-23; 1 Corinthians 12:13; 10:32).
