What is a Christian?
Christianity is often thought of as a cultural thing, something you grow up with or something that is more along the lines of tradition. It is often thought of as something which isn’t really true but personal and subjective. When the Bible talks about the truth of the Christian message, it describes it as a truth which is really true, and not tied to personality, culture or experience.
Christianity could be described as a living relationship between a person and God, where that person has moved from knowing about God distantly, to knowing him personally and directly through the person of Jesus Christ.
If you are new to the Christian message, there are, no doubt, questions about the Christian faith which may keep you at a distance. We believe that Christianity does stand up to rigorous questioning and does level questions at us as we ask questions of it!
Core beliefs
Our beliefs are rooted in our trust in the Scriptures as the authoritative, sufficient God-breathed Word to us.
They reveal the living God, who made our world, sustains it and will eventually redeem it when His judgement brings in the new heaven and new earth.
They reveal the loving God who in his mercy made relationship with him possible through the sacrificial death of Jesus for our sins.
They reveal the life-giving God who through his Spirit makes such a relationship a living reality as he brings us to repentance and belief and provides all we need for our Christian lives.
