OUR BELIEFS

Based entirely on the Bible…

We have summarised our beliefs into the eight statements below. Next to each statement are Bible verses to allow you to check these against the authority of God’s Word.



We believe in one God, the Creator of everything.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth". Genesis chapter 1 verse 1




We believe that the Bible is the revelation of God to humanity and is therefore the only authority for what we teach and practise.

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness". 1st Timothy chapter 3 verse 16




We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ (described in this quotation from the Bible as “the Word”) is God.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God". John chapter 1 verse 1





We also believe that, without in any way giving up His Deity He became a true Man - born of a virgin.

Therefore the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel". Isaiah chapter 7 verse 14





We believe He lived a perfect life with no possibility of any failure or sin.

Who committed no sin, Nor was guile found in His mouth” . . . "in Him there is no sin". 1st John chapter 3 verse 5





We believe that He had to die, taking the judgment of God for sin so that God could maintain His holy and righteous character and yet still forgive our sins.

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus". Romans chapter 3 verses 23 and 24





We believe that each individual must personally place faith in Christ as Saviour in order to receive God’s forgiveness and be made right for heaven.

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, . . ." Acts chapter 16 verse 31





We believe that the Spirit of God indwells all believers.

"…having believed you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise". Ephesians chapter 1 verse 13
