CORE BELIEFS
|
We believe in God, the Almighty, his son Jesus our lord, the Holy Spirit and the teaching in the Bible.
The Bible is what God gave us to help us figure Him out. (2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 3:16) One God exists eternally in three persons, described in the Bible as – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19; John 14:16-26 & 16:7-15) God made everything. (Genesis 1:1-2:25) We do things that take us away from God. He did something that brings us back. (Isaiah 53:1-6; Matthew 1:21; John 3:16; Romans 5:8) Jesus came to Earth and even though He is God, He limited Himself to being Human so that we could understand Him. (Philippians 2:5-8; Luke 1:26-35; Hebrews 4:14-15; 1 Peter 2:21-24; 1 Corinthians 15:3-5; Acts 1:9-11) Vertical Divider

We did stuff against God and there was no way we could pay for what we did, so Jesus died on the cross to pay for our crimes. If we accept Jesus as the Lord and Saviour of our lives, we are saved from the punishment for our crimes. We are then baptized (immersed) in Jesus’ name as a pledge to live our lives for Him.
(Hebrews 9:11-14 & 10:10-13; 1 Peter 3:18,21; Galatians 3:13-14; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:38, 22:16; Romans 6:1-7) Being saved from Hell when you die is a gift from God. This is called salvation, like being born twice. It is a new start. (1 John 1:8-10 & 3:9; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:8-9) We want to get better at loving God and other people too. So God planted Himself in us to help us do this. (Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Corinthians 14:20; Colossians 1:9-12 & 3:12-17) The Holy Spirit is simply God living in you. He lives in Christians to help them live the best life they can. (John 14:26 & 16:8-15; Romans 8:9 & 8:26-27; John 14:23; Acts 2:38; 1 Corinthians 12:13) |
Our core message is always the Gospel (the Good News about Jesus):
There is one God, by whom and for whom all things exist
We have separated ourselves from God by our sin
God has provided a solution to our sin in Jesus Christ
Jesus died on a cross and rose from the grave
We are saved by accepting Jesus' sacrifice and repenting of our sin
We are called to follow Jesus with our whole lives
If we're saved, we will spend eternity with God
