The vision of the Olive Tree Church is to ENJOY GOD, LOVE PEOPLE, RELEASE POTENTIAL and IMPACT COMMUNITY

We believe that people who learn to Enjoy God during the ups and downs of life, will bear the fruit of that relationship. If God is love, then being with Him will rub off on you. Our first goal is to help people enjoy God so that they will love those around them.

Secondly, we believe that each person has been designed uniquely, with gifts, passions and talents that they have been given to impact their communities. Our role as a church is to help release the potential that exists in every person so that they are both able and inspired to use whatever God has given them to impact our city.

LIFE GROUPS

We believe real life change happens in Life Groups and more specifically, courageous communities.

A courageous community is one that trusts God to place them into the right relationships to be blessed, and to be used for their good and His glory. When people trust God to knit them into the right community, they become more open to God speaking through or using those around them to impact their lives. This is what we are hoping for, for our church.

To take the first step into community, sign up to join one of our Life Groups.

OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH

  1. We believe in the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, in their original writing, as fully inspired of God and accept them as the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
  1. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  1. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary and is true God and true man.
  1. We believe that God created man in His own image; that man sinned and thereby incurred the penalty of sin which is death physically and spiritually; that all human beings inherit a sinful nature which issues (in the case of those who reach moral responsibility) in actual transgression involving personal guilt.
  1. With regards to sexual behaviour, we believe in heterosexual relationship between a natural man and a natural woman within the confines of lawful matrimony.
  1. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, a substitutionary sacrifice according to the Scriptures, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
  1. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus, His ascension into heaven, and His present life as our High Priest and Advocate.
  1. We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  1. We believe that all who repent of their sin and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
  1. We believe in the infilling of the Holy Spirit, empowering and equipping believers for service. We believe in the ministry of all believers.
  1. With regards to submission to authority, we believe in the principle of being in authority because you are under authority. As such, it is understood that membership shall be subject to submission to authority in matters pertaining to church governance, doctrine and personal behaviour.
  1. We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust, the eternal blessedness of the redeemed, and the eternal banishment of those who have rejected the offer of salvation.
  1. We believe that the one true Church is the whole company of those who have been redeemed by Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit; that the local church on earth should take its character from this concept of the church, and therefore, that the new birth and personal confession of Christ are essentials of church membership.
  1. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed two ordinances- Baptism in water and the Lord’s supper to be observed as acts of obedience and as perpetual witnesses to the cardinal facts of the Christian faith, that baptism is the immersion of the believer in water as a confession of identification with Christ in burial and resurrection and that the Lord’s supper is the partaking of the emblems symbolic of the Saviour’s broken body and shed blood, in remembrance of His sacrificial death, until he comes.
  1. We believe in the doctrine of sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of new birth and continuing until the consummation of salvation.
