  • We uphold the great doctrines of the Reformation such as Scripture Alone, Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Christ Alone & God’s Glory Alone.
  • We promote healthy church life by emphasising expository preaching, biblical theology, a right understanding of the gospel, conversion, evangelism, membership, discipleship, church discipline and biblical leadership.
  • When we gather to worship, we prioritize the preaching of God’s Word, reading Scripture, singing and praying God’s Word, and celebrating ordinances such as the Lord’s Supper and Baptism.
  • The SBC Constitution outlines our church purpose, leadership & governance structures, membership life & practice. We are elder led and congregationally governed.

  • God demonstrates his sovereign rule over all through creation & providence.
  • All people have sinned and rebelled against God, and are under His just condemnation.
  • Jesus Christ came into the world as truly God & truly Man to save His people from their sins. Jesus died and rose again to pay the penalty for our sins and to bring us back to God.
  • The Holy Spirit convicts of sin and judgement, and graciously provides new hearts to Christians to turn them away from sin and faith towards Jesus Christ.
  • The head of the church is Jesus Christ, and he gathers together Christians in local churches for mutual  accountability, growth and encouragement in ministry.
