Skin – Grid

The church was established in 1998. We are a group of people who believe in Jesus, have had our lives transformed by God’s grace and are living the Christian life together. We believe that God’s grace can change any situation.

What we believe:

The Bible

We believe the Bible is the complete and final authoritative Word of God, which is completely sufficient to guide and teach us in all aspects of life.

2 Timothy 3:15-17, 2 Peter 1:21

God

We believe in one God who eternally exists in three distinct yet perfectly united persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Genesis 1:1, Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30

Jesus Christ

We believe in the deity of Christ           John 1:1&14, John 10:33

that He was tempted in all things yet was without sin           Hebrews 4:15, 7:26

We believe that He died on the cross bearing the sins of the world upon Himself           Philippians 2:8, 1 Corinthians 15:3, Hebrews 2:9

that He conquered sin and death by raising from the grave three days later, and then He ascended to heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father           Mark 16:19

and we believe that He will return to the earth in power, glory and victory           Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11-16

Salvation

We believe that all are in need of salvation because of the inherent sin nature of humanity that leaves no one sinless, that God cannot accept sin in to His presence making it impossible for imperfect man to inter the presence of God on his own merit.  We believe that by the grace of God, the Holy Spirit will regenerate any one who will come to Jesus in repentance, putting their faith in Him as Lord and Savior and that salvation can be attained no other way.

John 3:16-19, John 5:24, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:8-9, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit indwelling the believer and enabling him to live a godly life.

Romans 8:13, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20

We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit given to believers for the edifying of the Body of Christ (the Church) and for the glorifying of God.           Romans 12:6-8, 1 Corinthians 12:1-11         

The Church

We believe that the true church consists of all who are in Christ around the world, that Jesus is the head of the church and that He desires to have unity amongst all believers

Romans 12:4-5, 1 Corinthians 1:10, 1 Corinthians 12:12-27, Ephesians 4:1-6, 5:23

We believe that the distinct characteristic of each believer should be the agape love of God manifesting outwardly in our conduct in this world.           1 John 4:16-17
