About

We Are Reformed

Theologically, we trace our heritage back to the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century, which was a deliberate break from the church that no longer treated the bible as authoritative and sufficient for the Christian life. This means that we hold to the following: the bible alone is our authority; salvation comes through faith in Christ alone, which is by the grace of God alone; and all things are for the glory of God alone.

We Are Evangelical

What we teach is not determined by the whims of culture, but the Word of God. We are convinced that Jesus is God’s full and final revelation to us, thus, there is no better word to expect from God (Hebrews 1:1-4). The bible is our highest authority, which puts us in line with the Christian church for two millennia.

We Are Anglican

Specifically, we trace our theological roots back to the Reformation in England. We hold to the 39 Articles as a superb summary of the essential truths of the Bible. We are part of REACH SA, and have churches across sub-Saharan Africa. We are not in fellowship with Canterbury, which has drifted from historic Reformed Anglicanism.

OUR CORE BELIEFS

THE GOSPEL

The gospel of God is the good news promised in the Old Testament about Jesus Christ our Lord, who died for our sins, was raised to life for our salvation, and will return to judge the living and the dead. We are committed to continually renewing our faith and reforming our ministry practice in light of this foundational message.

THE WORD

The bible is God’s inspired, inerrant, complete and authoritative Word. Its central message is about the salvation offered to all humanity in Christ. Through the bible and the Spirit’s enabling we can come to a true knowledge of God, and we are given all we need for living lives worthy of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

THE CHURCH

The universal Church is the body, of which Christ is the head and to which all who are saved belong. It is made visible in local churches, where believers are committed to Christ and each other. Through the faithful preaching of the Word and speaking the truth in love, the body of Christ is equipped for works of service and built up into maturity.

THE MISSION

The Church is called to participate in the mission of God, which is to redeem a people for Himself from every tribe, language, people and nation. We expect the Spirit to continue to empower us to grow in obedience to Jesus Christ and to be faithful witnesses to him as we make disciples of all nations.
