Who we are

We are simply a group of people who have put their faith in Jesus Christ our Lord for salvation.

Salvation

This salvation was required because, in common with all mankind, we are sinners in the sight of God (Romans chapter 3 verse 23For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
Romans 3:23  NKJV
) and can do nothing of ourselves to merit God's favour.

However Jesus Christ, the Eternal Son of the Eternal God, became a man, lived a perfect, sinless life and gave His life on the cross of Calvary to pay the penalty for our sin. It is through repentance from our sin and by faith in Jesus Christ that we have salvation and fellowship again with God.

We do not belong to any "organisation" or "denomination". We are not a sect or Jehovah's Witnesses. We believe that each church, or assembly, is a fully independent body. There are similar churches in the area, throughout the country and worldwide but each is fully independent, shepherded by a group of elders who are responsible only to God for this activity.

 

What we believe

What we believe, and our scripture authority for these beliefs, is:

The Bible is inspired by God and is the final authority on all spiritual matters.
2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 16
 
The need of salvation from sin.
1 Timothy chapter 2 verses 3 & 4
 
The Lord Jesus Christ is both fully man and fully God and is the only means of our salvation.

There is one God eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son & Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus Christ alone is the Head of the church. He is the only mediator between God and men.
1 Timothy chapter 2 verse 5
 
Eternal life is a gift from God and is received by grace through faith apart from any merit.
Romans chapter 6 verse 23
Ephesians chapter 2 verses 8 and 9
 
The need to meet together as believers for the remembering of the Lord and His death, prayers and Bible teaching.
