We’ve had a good think about the kinds of things that are important to all of our faith communities, and we came up with four; bible, prayer, community and compassion. We’ve agreed to make each of these a spiritual habit, something that we commit to engaging with each day. While we don’t believe that practising these could make God love us any more than he already does, we do realise that they can help us to be more aware of God’s presence with us, and more intentional about how we interact with the world around us.

The beliefs we’ve listed below are similar to many christian churches around the place and we think that they sit well with us too!

We Believe

• There is only One True God, Creator of heaven and earth, who eternally exists in three unique persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• God is Love and Jesus was sent as the full expression of God’s love, and having been born of a virgin, became human flesh to open a way to reconcile humanity to himself, and to allow us to live a godly life
• Jesus died, was resurrected and is seated at the right hand of the Father, where he intercedes for us.
• The person of the Holy Spirit, convicts, indwells and empowers believers to live a new life in relationship with the Father, Son and Spirit
• Humanity was made in the image of God, bestowing equal worth on all people, regardless of colour, race or gender, but that that image has been marred by sin and self.
• Our salvation and regeneration is through the death, resurrection and eternal priesthood of Jesus Christ, and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit
• In the fullness of time there will be a resurrection of all humans, the saved to eternal life, the lost to condemnation.
• The Bible is the true and reliable Word of God bringing meaning, direction and significance to all aspects of our life.
• In the priesthood of all believers, so that all believers are called to participate in the ministry of the church, acknowledging Jesus is the high priest.
• We believe in the ordinance of baptism for believers and sharing in the Lord’s Supper regularly together.
