We affirm that the Lord our God is one: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that He fulfills His sovereign purposes — in creation, revelation, redemption, judgment, and the coming of His Kingdom — by calling together a people to come out from the world and to belong to Him and to one another in love.

We acknowledge that although God made us in His own image and likeness, granting us dignity and worth and enabling us to respond to Him, we are now members of a fallen race; we have sinned and fall short of His glory.

We believe that the Father has shown His holy love by giving Jesus Christ, His own Son, for us, when, because of our sinfulness and guilt, we were subject to His wrath and condemnation; and He has shown His grace by reconciling sinners to Himself when they put their trust in the Son of God.

We confess Jesus Christ as Lord and God, truly human, born of the virgin Mary; as Servant, without sin, full of grace and truth; as the only Mediator and Saviour, who died on the cross in our place, representing us before God, redeeming us from the dominion, guilt, and punishment of sin; as victorious over Satan and his forces, who rose from the dead with a glorious body, was taken up to be with His Father, and will one day return personally, in glory and judgment, to establish His Kingdom.

We believe in the Holy Spirit: who convinces the world of guilt in regard to sin, righteousness, and judgment; who makes the death of Christ effective for sinners by declaring that they must turn to Christ in repentance and directing their trust to the Lord Jesus Christ; who, through the new birth, makes us partakers in the life of the risen Christ; and who is present in all believers, illuminating their minds to understand the truth of Scripture, producing His fruit in them, granting them His gifts, and empowering them to witness in the world.
