Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain who build it. Psalm 127:1
Our statement of faith is a summary of what we believe.
These are the beliefs we consider to be essential for biblical Christianity.
All our members joyfully affirm their commitment to these beliefs.
What we believe:
​​
​
​​
-
In the Bible, both the Old Testament and the New Testament (excluding the Apocrypha) as the infallible Word of God, the all-sufficient framework for faith and conduct.
-
In the unity of the one true and living God revealed in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
-
In the virgin birth; the sinless life; the miraculous ministry; the substitutionary atoning death; the bodily resurrection; the triumphant ascension, and the future second advent of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
In the fall of man and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ alone, the everlasting conscious bliss of all believers and the everlasting conscious punishment of all who reject Jesus Christ.
-
In the baptism of believers by immersion in water, as an outward symbol and seal upon repentance.
-
In the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gifts and fruit of the Spirit.
-
In the Church, the Body of Christ, as a caring, committed community of believers, manifesting the life of Christ by holiness of life, conduct and love of each other
Our calling
-
Our call is first and foremost to the Lord Jesus Christ, therefore our lives should honour Him. We will do this best by submitting our lives to Him and obeying all that He calls us to do. Our calling is to be holy, as He is holy, this should be reflected in our private and public lives.
​
-
Further, we are called to be members of Christ’s body, that is the church universal and here in Peverell. We are called to be a recognisable community of Christians within the community life of Peverell. Existing to serve the community and witness within it to the redemptive love and saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
