What we believe - Unichurch

We want to know God – that’s why the Bible is at the heart of all our gatherings and everything we teach.

Our community has many people from a wide variety of Christian and non-Christian backgrounds and we welcome anyone who wants to find out about Jesus or who wants to grow as a disciple of Jesus.

In our beliefs we hold to the great Reformation doctrines contained in the 39 Articles of Religion and The Book of Common Prayer. The following commonly-used doctrinal statement would also be a useful summary of what we believe:

The divine inspiration and infallibility of Holy Scripture, as originally given, and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
The unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead.
The universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the fall, rendering man subject to God's wrath and condemnation.
The conception of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit and his birth of the virgin Mary.
Redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the sacrificial death (as our Representative and Substitute) of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of God.
The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
The necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit to make the death of Christ effective to the individual sinner, granting him/her repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ.
The indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer.
The expectation of the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ, as judge of all people.
