Core Values


BIBLICAL REVELATION

We rejoice in standing on the Bible as our supreme authority in what we believe and how we live as followers of Jesus, and emphasise the centrality of the cross in Christian faith.

BIBLICAL RENEWAL

We seek the renewing power of the Holy Spirt as a daily experience, pursuing Scriptural Holiness in life, church and nation.

BIBLICAL REVIVAL

We pray for revival – a recovery of authentic Christianity accompanied by the extraordinary power of the Holy Spirit resulting in the transformation of lives, churches and society.

We uphold the Four Alls of Methodism

  • All need to be saved
  • All can be saved
  • All can know themselves saved
  • All can be saved to the uttermost

As a member of the Evangelical Alliance,
we hold the following Basis Of Faith

 
WE BELIEVE IN...

  1. The one true God who lives eternally in three persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

  2. The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.

  3. The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God—fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.

  4. The dignity of all people, made male and female in God's image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.

  5. The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ—born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.

  6. The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.

  7. The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the Father, and his reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world.

  8. The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.

  9. The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.

  10. The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers—given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit's gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love.

  11. The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.

Marriage and Relationships


Within the ‘mixed economy’ of the Methodist Church in Britain, we are committed to the biblical and apostolic understanding of marriage as the life-long union of one man and one woman and the only appropriate context for sexual intimacy.

Whilst not all our members  hold this position, we are committed to maintaining a space for, and supporting those who offer, such witness within the Methodist Church in Britain.
