Creed:
Adapted from the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed (381 AD)
We believe in One God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of Heaven and Earth,
and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
the Only-Begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages;
Light of Light; True God of True God;
begotten, not made;
of one essence with the Father,
by Whom all things were made;
Who for us men and for our salvation came down from Heaven,
and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man.
And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate,
and suffered, and was buried.
And the third day He arose again, according to the Scriptures,
and ascended into Heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father;
and He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead;
Whose Kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life,
Who proceeds from the Father;
Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified;
Who spoke by the prophets.
And in One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism by water, for all time,
into the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church,
so that we may be a visible Kingdom of Priests,
Holy unto the Lord.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Mission:
Our mission is to preach the Gospel of Christ Jesus and to contend earnestly for the faith in Perth, Western Australia, to call not only those in who are in darkness into light, but to also call back those in the Church who have wandered into myths or errors that leave them vulnerable to false teachers, false prophets, false apostles, and false Christs.
We uphold that the entirety of God's desired revelation for His Church was laid down in the God-breathed scriptures. These scriptures, as identified by the Protestant canon, are our final authority and is sufficient to equip God's people until the end of history.
We uphold that the 16th century Reformation correctly called the Church back to verifiably Biblical and Apostolic doctrines concerning God's perfect power to save those who belong Him for His own eternal glory. We believe however that today's visible Church needs to be reformed once more, not only for its large-scale rejection of Reformation, but also for its rejection of the sufficiency of the scriptures, for its erroneous Eschatology, and for its syncretism with today's Antinomian world order.
We uphold the centrality of the local Church, even the least among us, that hold to sound doctrine and recognise God's instituted hierarchy of a plurality of qualified overseers, served by approved deacons. We affirm the role of denominations in the transparent enforcement of doctrinal standards and in the sharing of resources, and we are also convinced that the professing Church will be unified in doctrine and practice at the end of history. We affirm that true Christianity is pure and undefiled religion, and we reject all pitting of true Christianity against religion or hierarchy.
