What We Do
Baby Blessings
Baby Blessings
Baby Blessings
The child is presented at the place of Worship during this ceremony. The baby dedication is not a baptism as infants are unable to make a choice. We believe that the child needs to personally accept the Lord Jesus as their Saviour when they come of age to make a choice for themselves. St Matthew 19:14, St Mark 10:13
Weddings
Baby Blessings
Baby Blessings
Marriage was created by God. According to the Holy Bible, marriage is a covenant relationship between one man and one woman. Genesis 2:24 , Proverbs 18:22, Hebrews 13: 4-7
Funerals

Water Baptism
We serve the community with carrying out burial of the deceased. WE brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. 1 St. Timothy 6.7; Job 1.21
Water Baptism
THE LORD'S SUPPER (Communion).
Water Baptism

What We Believe
THE SCRIPTURES
We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, infallible in its original writings, 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter. 1:21.
THE GODHEAD
We believe in the oneness of God. One everlasting, eternal God, infinite in power, holy in nature, attributes, and purpose; in His absolute, indivisible deity that this one true God has revealed Himself as Father in creation; through His Son in redemption and as the Holy Spirit, by emanation. 1Cor. 8:6; Eph. 4:6; 2Cor. 5:19; Joel 2:28 1 Timothy 3:16
THE SON OF GOD
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. In the fullness of time God sent forth His Son made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law. Gal. 4:4.5. In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Col. 2:9. That God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. 2Cor. 5:19. That no man can come unto the Father but by and through the Lord Jesus Christ and His shed blood. The Son of God is the only hope of the world. We believe that Jesus is God. I and my Father are one. St John 10:30. The man Christ Jesus is mediator between God and man. 1 Tim. 2:5. 1 Tim 3:16
THE FALL OF MAN
We believe that in the beginning God created man innocent, pure and holy, but through the sin of disobedience, Adam fell: hence by one man's disobedience, sin entered into the world. Gen. 1:27; Rom.5:12.
REPENTANCE
We believe in repentance to God, confessing ourselves as sinners, receiving forgiveness through the Lord Jesus Christ and His shed blood which made atonement for sin, witnessed by a definite change from sin to righteousness. Acts 17:30; 11:18; 2:38-39.
OUR REDEMPTION
We believe that our redemption has been accomplished solely by the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, who was made sin for us, dying in our form and stead rising again from the dead, ascending with His glorified body to the right hand of God, and by believing in the finished work, we are justified before God. Cleansed of all our sins and redeemed from the curse of the law. John 3:3; Rom. 5:1; Acts 13.39; 2Cor. 1 5:14-21; Gal. 2:16; 3:13; 1 Pet. 1:18-19; Tit. 2:14; Rev. 5:9
