What We Believe
Ten convictions, each with the passage it comes from.
-
01
The Word of God
All Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. It is our final authority in what we believe and how we live.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
-
02
One God
We believe in one eternal God who exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. One Lord, one essence, three distinct persons.
Deuteronomy 6:4 · Matthew 28:19
-
03
Jesus Christ
Jesus is the image of the invisible God — fully God and fully man. He lived without sin, died on the cross for our sins and rose again on the third day.
Colossians 1:15-20
-
04
Salvation by Grace
By grace we are saved, through faith. Not by works, so that no one can boast. Salvation is a gift to receive, not a wage to earn.
Ephesians 2:8-9
-
05
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit dwells in every believer — comforting, guiding into all truth, convicting of sin and distributing gifts for the common good.
John 14:16-17 · 1 Corinthians 12:7
-
06
The Church
The church is the body of Christ and the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.
Ephesians 2:19-22
-
07
Baptism and Communion
Jesus left his church two ordinances: water baptism, which publicly declares new life, and Communion, which proclaims his death until he comes.
Matthew 28:19 · 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
-
08
Worship
We offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God — this is our true worship. It begins on Sunday and continues all week.
Romans 12:1
-
09
The Mission
We are sent to make disciples of all nations, baptising them and teaching them to obey everything Jesus commanded, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:18-20 · Acts 1:8
-
10
Eternal Hope
Christ will return. The dead in Christ will rise and we will be with the Lord for ever. He who sits on the throne says: “I am making everything new.”
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 · Revelation 21:5
