Belief Statements

The essentials Truths of the gospel

The Trinity

We believe God exists eternally as Father, Son and Holy Spirit; that He is a being of unimaginably wonderful power, goodness and love; and worthy of all praise.

Psalm 118:1 Psalm 145:1–9 Matthew 28:19 2 Corinthians 13:14

Creation

We believe the world exists because God created it, that it belongs to Him and therefore we should cherish and care for it.

Genesis 1:1 Psalm 24:1–2 Isaiah 40:25–26 1 Corinthians 10:26

People

We believe all human beings have dignity because they were created by God in His own image, and great worth because they are loved and valued by God beyond our ability to measure.

Genesis 1:27, 31 Psalm 8:3–6 John 3:16 Romans 5:8

Sin

We believe this world also has pain and suffering because human beings have fallen and sinned. Sin leaves us estranged from God, from each other, from ourselves, and from creation.

Genesis 3:17 Romans 3:23 Colossians 1:21 Titus 3:3

God's Redemptive Plan

We believe God will not allow sin and suffering to get the last word, because He is at work to redeem and reconcile what He has made.

Isaiah 11:6–9 Colossians 1:21–23 Revelation 21:1–5

Jesus

We believe that God’s plan of salvation finds its fulfilment in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. His sacrificial death redeems us from sin, and His resurrection gives a certain hope of eternal life if we put our trust in Him.

John 14:6–7 Acts 2:32 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 Ephesians 2:13 Colossians 1:15–20 Philippians 2:5–11

1 Timothy 2:5–6

The Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, bringing us to repentance, uniting us to Christ and empowering us to live for God’s glory not our own.

John 14:26 Acts 1:8 Romans 8:26 Galatians 3:14 Ephesians 1:13–14

The Church

We believe the Church is the gospel-shaped community through which God brings love, healing, and hope to the human race. We believe the church is a foretaste of the heavenly gathering of God’s people around His throne, and we delight in the opportunity to gather.

Matthew 18:18–20 John 1:12–13 Acts 1:8 Galatians 3:28 1 Peter 2:9 Revelation 7:9

Eternity

We believe that this life is not all there is. As Christians we live in hope because one day Jesus will return, love and justice will prevail, and God will set the world right.

Matthew 24:30–31 Luke 12:40 Romans 8:37–39 Revelation 21:1–5
