Grace for Walthamstow Titus 2:11-14

Grace for Walthamstow Titus 2:11-14Grace for Walthamstow Titus 2:11-14

What We Believe

The Bible

The Bible is a God-inspired, inerrant, sufficient and infallible Word. It is God's spoken Word by which we are able to instruct the people of God and compel those who don't know the Lord to come to the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.


The Word of God is the final authority in everything we do in our church.

The Creation and the fall

We believe God created the heavens and earth. He created everything that we see on Earth. He also created the man (Adam) and the woman (Eve) in His image. Adam fell in sin and mankind fell with Him in Sin.  We were created in the image of God, but because of the original sin, the image of God is marred and therefore there is evil in the world. This is why people live in fear, anger, malice, hatred and so on. The fall is the reason why there is so much brokenness in the world. 

Jesus christ

Jesus Christ came into the world to redeem spiritually dead people. This is the Gospel; the good news. He did it by dying on the cross and rising from the dead on the third day. He ascended to heaven after His resurrection and appearance to His disciples. He will reappear again when the time is up for the next age to come. 

the triune god

The God of the Bible has been revealed to us in three distinct persons - The Father, The Son, & The Holy Spirit. We were made to know this God and to enjoy His fellowship.

the local church

The Local Church The Church is the body of Christ on earth. The local church is the covenanted community of God's people who come together to worship God, have fellowship with one another, care for one another and carry out the mission of Christ to the ends of the earth. The local church members are to serve the Lord using their time, talents and treasures as prescribed by the Scripture.

the church leadership

The role of a pastor, elder or preacher (the pulpit ministry)  in the local church's life is reserved for the called/qualified men by the Lord as clearly explained in the Scripture. 

The Church Membership

We believe in every member ministry. This means every church member is encouraged to use their gifts and graces to build up one another in beliefs and practices for the glory of God. 

The Church Ordinances

Baptism: The Bible teaches about a believer's baptism by immersion in the profession of faith. It is also a picture of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the picture of our future hope of resurrection too.  

The Lord's Table (Communion): The baptised believers are invited to take part in the Lord's Supper with their fellow believers to remember the atoning death of Jesus on the cross as commanded in the Scripture. 

The Christian Mission

Jesus commanded His disciples to preach the gospel to all nations.  

Although some are specifically called to serve in preaching and teaching ministries, all Christians are called to make disciples for the glory of God. We are called to use our time, talents and treasures to make disciples of Jesus Christ.

Marriage

Men and women are created equal and the Scripture teaches the complementarian view of marriage. 

the work of the holy spirit

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. He is co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and Jesus Christ. 


The Holy Spirit works a great miracle by regenerating a spiritually dead person into a new life in Christ.

We do not believe in speaking in tongues, gifts of healing or people having new revelations since the Canon of Scripture is closed now.


There are no new prophecies or revelations in the church today. God speaks to us today from His scripture and through the preaching of God's Word. Additionally, there are no apostles or prophets in the church today. 

The future

We eagerly await the second coming of the Lord Jesus. Those who have died in Christ shall rise again and the alive shall be taken away from this world to their permanent home with their Lord and Saviour.  

 

The Lord Jesus will judge the people and the nations. Those who are found in Christ will inherit the kingdom of God that will last forever and those who are not found in Christ will be cast into eternal darkness i.e. hell.


The elect of God will live with God forever on the new earth for all eternity.


This is why we tell the world about the coming of Christ and compel them to come to Christ before it is too late.
