What We Believe

We are a member of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC) and abide by the FIEC Doctrinal Basis.

This includes three Ethos Statements on gospel unity, women in ministry and same-sex marriage. The FIEC Doctrinal Basis can be found at: https://fiec.org.uk/who-we-are/beliefs

Statement of Faith

1

The full and verbal inspiration of all the Old Testament and New Testament Scriptures as originally given, and of these alone; their being in themselves the Word of God, without error, and wholly reliable in both fact and doctrine; their final authority and perpetual sufficiency in all matters of faith and practice.

2

The unity of the Godhead and the divine co-equality of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; the sovereignty of God in creation, providence, and redemption.

3

The total depravity of human nature in consequence of the fall, and the necessity for regeneration.

4

The true and proper Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; His virgin birth; His real and perfect manhood; the authority of His teaching, and the infallibility of all His utterances; His work of atonement for sinners of mankind by His substitutionary sufferings and death; His bodily resurrection and His ascension into Heaven, and His present high priestly intercession for His people at the right hand of the Father.

5

The justification of the sinner solely by faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

6

The work of the Holy Spirit as essential for a true and spiritual understanding of the Scriptures; for regeneration, conversion, and sanctification, and for ministry and worship.

7

The universal Church, the body of which Christ is the Head, embracing all the redeemed called by God through the Gospel, born of the Spirit and justified by faith; the local church, comprising such believers as the expression of the universal Church; and fellowship between such churches, manifesting the unity of the body of Christ.

The personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ in glory.

10

The resurrection of the body; the judgment of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, with the eternal blessedness of the righteous and the eternal punishment of the wicked.
