What We Believe
- We believe God’s word, the Bible, is the main way God speaks to us today and it is without error. For this reason, all our sermons, and everything we do as a church comes directly from study of the bible.
- We believe God is three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe Jesus, the Son, was sent by the Father to live the sinless life we never could, die in our place and rise again.
- Through Jesus’ death on the cross, we can be free from sin and not only forgiven, but seen by the Father as perfect as Jesus and welcomed into God’s family.
- We believe we are saved by grace alone. This means that we do not believe there is anything we can do to earn our way into God’s family. All we need to do is acknowledge that we are sinful before God and then accept the gift he offers us through his work on the cross. He freely offers this gift to all who choose to believe!
- We can only follow Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit which we receive when we choose to follow Jesus. Following Jesus is not easy, but it is the only way to find true satisfaction in life and the only way we can enter into Heaven when we die.
- We believe everyone in the world who believes this message are our brothers and sisters, and we are committed to praying for one another regularly.
- We also believe we have been called to share this good news with others so they too can be part of God’s family and receive the amazing free gift of eternal life.
Our Church Vision
We are committed to loving our God and loving our neighbour.
We seek to do that through:
W – Worship
I – Instruction/ Discipleship
S – Service
E – Evangelism
Worship
We exist for the glory of God. We worship God not just through attending church, but with our whole lives.
Instruction/Discipleship
We support one another in their walk with the Lord so we can understand him better, grow in our love of him, and follow him more closely. We do this through hearing the word preached each week, through encouraging one another, reading the bible and praying together.
Service
Loving our neighbour in how we serve one another as a church family and how we reach out to our community of Cumbernauld
Evangelism
The bible calls us to share the Good News of the gospel with those who don’t know him, both locally and all over the world.
What is a Free Church?
Though many churches believe this core message, there are many denominations with slight differences in structure.
Our Church denomination is called the Free Church of Scotland.
What makes us different is we are Presbyterian. Presbyterian means that our congregation is governed by elders. Presbyterianism also involves being connected with other Free Churches in the denomination. This results in fellowship, support and accountability.
We sing both Psalms and Hymns in our worship.
