What We Believe

Like millions of others around the world today we believe the historic teachings of Christianity. Here's a summary.

About God
 

We believe that God exists and made the world we live in. We believe He gives life to every person and that we're all responsible to Him. He made this fantastic world so that, seeing it, we would want to reach out to Him. God is an incredible Being. Although there is only one God, He exists in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

About the Bible

Not only does God exist but, as we would expect, He has communicated with us. He has done this in the pages of the Bible. You only have to read the Bible through to see that it is like no other book on earth. God's authorship of the Bible makes us keen to discover what it says and happy to believe its message.

About Jesus Christ

As well as communicating through the Bible, God took the supreme step to make Himself known to us. He came to earth and lived as a man. That man was Jesus of Nazareth. He Himself, made the incredible claim that He was God, in human form. We believe the only logical explanation of His amazing life is that this claim was true. As the final proof, Jesus did the unimaginable by coming back from the dead three days after His crucifixion.

About Us

When God made us He made it very clear what He expected. He wanted us to be happy and He wanted us to obey Him. These commands are recorded in the Bible but we have rebelled against them - in fact we've tried to shut God out altogether. This has made us distant from God and because of His perfect justice He cannot let our rebellion go unpunished.

About Heaven

Who doesn't wish for heaven when life is over? What is it like? Heaven is God's home! The Bible tells us that heaven exceeds our expectations and imagination. Who will be there and what is required to get in? The requirement, said Jesus, is to 'be perfect as My Father in heaven is perfect'. The good news of the Bible is that what we could not achieve for ourselves Jesus Christ has done. God sent His Son to take on Himself the punishment for our sin. His life and His death satisfied the demands of God for all who will rely on what He has done to save sinners for heaven.
