ABOUT RCC
WHAT WE BELIEVE
GOD
We believe in one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit
We believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of all things visible and invisible
jESUS
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s one and only Son, our one and only Savior
Who was born both fully human and fully divine, conceived of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and lived a sinless life
Who suffered and was crucified
Who died and was buried, and rose again bodily from the dead on the third day
Who ascended into Heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father
And who will return to earth to judge both the living and the dead.
hOLY sPIRIT
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is a personal and active part of the triune God
And who indwells every Christian
Bible
We believe in the Bible: God’s Holy Word. We believe God inspired the original writings of the Scripture, and therefore the Bible is completely trustworthy in all its parts
We accept the Bible as the final authority for all matters of faith and practice
sALVATION
We believe that people created by God willfully sin against God and are consequently lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ
We believe that salvation the forgiveness of sins cannot be earned, but is given to us only through the blood of Jesus Christ and by God’s grace
We believe we must respond to God by: Admitting our need for God’s grace
Turning away from sin (repenting)
Trusting Jesus as Saviour and Lord
Being baptized (immersed) into Christ
