Text Box: About Us... Click Here to Meet the Leaders What We Believe Many people know that God exists because of the world he has made and because of his goodness to them. However we need to know how to worship him as we should an dhow to live to please him. God has given us the Bible as his special and entirely reliable book to tell us what to believe and how to live. We believe in one God. Christians believe that this one God has actually revealed himself as three persons - as the Father and the Son and as the Holy Spirit. We believe that our personalities are affected throughout by sin and weakness. This spoils our lives and means that we need the Holy Spirit to give us new life so we can know and trust God and live to please him. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God who genuinely became a real and sinless human being. Through his death any one of us can be forgiven for our sins and through faith counted as being right with God. We believe that salvation - which is to be forgiven and to have new life from God - comes to us purely from god's kindness and love. All of us should put our trust in the Lord Jesus Christ in order to receive this salvation. We believe that god will one day bring the world to an end. Everybody will be brought back to life to appear before God and get God's verdict on their lives. Only those who have turned from their sinful ways and trusted the Lord Jesus will receive a permanent and happy new life with God. These beliefs are shared with all Christians who believe the Bible's teaching. Congregationalists in this country have always had a special commitment to religious liberty and tolerance. Statement of faith The church has adopted a relatively brief statement of faith: 1. The divine and special inspiration of the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and their sole authority and entire sufficiency as the rule of faith and practice. 2. The unity of God with the proper Deity of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. 3. The depravity of man and the absolute necessity of the Holy Spirit's agency for man's regeneration and sanctification. 4. The incarnation of the Son of God in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ and the universal sufficiency of the atonement by His death and free justification of sinners by faith alone in Him. 5. Salvation by grace and the duty of all men to believe in Christ. 6. The resurrection of the dead and final judgment when the wicked shall go away into everlasting punishment but the righteous into life eternal.   For more detail on what we believe as Congregationalists please refer to: �                The Declaration of Faith of 1833 �                The Savoy Declaration of Faith and Order of 1658
