Christians put their trust in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus
Christ. They believe that his story, told in four separate accounts
called the gospels, and also in contemporary Jewish and Greek writings,
is also their own story. They believe he is the vital connection between
God who created the world, and God restoring the world to his original
vision of love.
Christians
believe that God loves the world, even though it is a free and flawed
place. They believe that he stands by us, even when we are suffering,
and that he restores us, both in this life here and in a new life with
him after life in our physical bodies is over. They believe that our
life depends on his, and that his breath - the Holy Spirit - fills us
when we pray. They believe that everyone, regardless of race, sex, creed,
ability, status or age, is a precious child of God, and can claim his
love, help and forgiveness freely and equally.
To be a Christian means to follow Jesus - nothing more. But that life
draws us into the family of his people, the Church. You can belong to
the Church by living its life and praying its prayers. The formal belonging
is marked by baptism - a ceremony of ritual washing for adults and children.
A sign of belonging is sharing the ritual meal of bread and wine at
Holy Communion.
Everyone is welcome at our church. We meet for worship, and learn and
teach our faith together. We want our church to be accessible to people
of all ages and (dis)abilities. If you want to know more, please join
us at any service or group.
