about

City Bible Church is an interdenominational, Bible-believing church.  

We are here to serve the community, provide Biblical instruction, spiritual help, encouragement and to provide a fellowship where all are welcome regardless of where you may be on your spiritual journey.

We are not affiliated with any denomination and therefore offer a unique opportunity where persons from all evangelical divisions of the Church can fellowship and serve happily together.

Bill’s favourite scripture is Acts 20:24

We believe:

  • in the verbal inspiration and final authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures in faith, doctrine, and life.
  • in one God, eternally existing in three equal persons — Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • in the personality and deity of Jesus Christ who is true God and true man.
  • in Jesus Christ’s virgin birth, substitutionary death for sin, bodily resurrection, ascension and return.
  • in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit.
  • in the total depravity of mankind.
  • in the necessity of believing through faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ in whom we have redemption through His blood.
  • in the personality and reality of Satan.
  • in the eternal life of the saved, and in the eternal conscious torment of the lost.
  • in the life of daily Christian victory through faith in, and obedience to Jesus Christ, under the Holy Spirit.
  • in the Church’s (the body of believers) sole business as:  shedding light of the Gospel continuously in all the world, shunning worldly alliances, and looking for her Lord’s return.
