Hope Christian Church's Vision

Is to be a local fellowship that is; committed to glorifying God by celebrating the supremacy of Christ in all things.  That passionately pursues obedience to God’s holy, infallible and eternal Word.  That seeks God to, by His mighty Holy Spirit, sovereignly bring sinners to repentance and believers to fruitfulness.  We labour to realise this through fervency in prayer and the practice of personal holiness and submission to God’s will.  We believe in passionately giving of our time, efforts and resources for Ministry/Missions endeavours locally and abroad.

• In The deity of our Lord Jesus Christ,  His Virgin Birth and incarnation, His sinless life, His miracles, His victorious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross of Calvary, His bodily resurrection from the dead on the third day, His bodily ascension to the right hand of the Father, His perpetual intercession for His people and His personal return in power and glory as King of kings and Lord of lords.

• That man was created by God in His own image; that he sinned and thereby incurred physical, spiritual and eternal death, which is separation from God; that as a consequence, all human beings are born with a sinful nature and subsequently sinners by choice and therefore under God's full and just condemnation.

• We believe that those who sincerely put their trust solely in Jesus Christ as Saviour and live lives of repentance are those regenerated by the Holy Spirit and have by grace become new creatures. We believe that these people alone are delivered from the wrath of God in eternal condemnation and are received into the family of God unto eternal life. This work of grace that causes the heart of a sinner to be radically changed cannot be revoked or reversed.

• We believe in the reconciliation of man to God by the substitutionary, atoning death and shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

• In The resurrection of believers unto everlasting life and unbelievers unto everlasting punishment in hell.

• That there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three distinct Persons; that these are all equal in every divine perfection and each fully God, and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence and redemption.

• We believe that the 66 books of the bible reveal to us the mind of God and the complete revelation of God’s will for the salvation of men; and is the inspired, infallible authoritative Word of God. We believe it has the supreme and ultimate authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

• In the reality of sin and its absolute destruction of the one who indulges in it habitually.

• In the reality of Satan, the devil, the serpent of old who deceived our first parents in Eden, and his present influence over the unbeliever.

• In the two ordinances our Lord Jesus Christ instituted. One being holy baptism in water by full immersion in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and that it is to be conferred upon all who have repented and believed unto salvation. The other being the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion that was instituted by Jesus Christ for the commemoration of His death. We believe that these two ordinances should be observed and administered until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

• In the Baptism and infilling with the Holy Spirit, accompanied by a supernatural empowering to be a bold and effective witness for Christ.
