What do we believe?

Salvation

With the original sin committed by Adam and Eve, the sin nature was imputed to all of humanity (Romans 5:19). thereby preventing a relationship with God the Father as we fall short of His perfect righteousness.

Born of a virgin and hence without a sin nature, Jesus Christ’s subsequent life without sin allowed Him to stand in for us as a substitute at the cross (Romans 8:1-3). God the Father imputed our sins upon Christ at the cross enabling Jesus’s death to remove the barrier of sin between us and the Father. (2 Corinthians 5:21)

The sin barrier removed, it takes no act of works on our behalf, but instead faith alone in Christ alone, the son of God and our Savior, by which we are saved and reconciled with God the Father. (Ephesians 2:8 - 9)
