Statement of Faith

As Christians We Believe – (from Belief to Behavior)

• In one God – Father, Son, Holy Spirit – who is revealed to humankind in many and varied ways, but especially and ultimately in Jesus Christ;
• That the Bible – Old and New Testaments is the inspired ‘Word of God’, and authoritative for faith and conduct;
• That all humans are created in the image of God, and have infinite dignity and worth, but they have chosen to sin against God;
• That we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ, in order to follow Him in a life of love and obedience, doing in our world ministries of justice, mercy and evangelism as He did in his;
• That as Jesus Christ, in power of the Holy Spirit was God’s agent in creation, so also He shall come again ‘to judge the living and the dead’;
• That God’s family comprises ‘the Church’, and we are encouraged to join a local church (through baptism in water and in the Spirit), in which, nurtured by the Word of God, the sacraments and pastoral care, and led by pastors and others, we are all ‘ministers’, in unity with all who similarly acknowledge Jesus as Lord;
• That because all people are created in the image of God, we accept and love every individual – of any race, age, creed or gender – as Jesus did. Our churches should therefore aim to be ‘safe places’, free from any form of discrimination or abuse, where we can experience with others what it means to be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live in faith, hope and love.
