Our Church
What we believe about Church…
- it is people, not buildings, made up of all who believe in and trust Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.
- it is characterised by worship and prayer.
- it is relational and interactive, rather than formal and ritualistic.
- it is wherever God’s people meet.
- it is charged with spreading the gospel of Christ, which is good news for all.
- it is a community that reflects the diversity of Gosforth because Christ welcomes all.
And…
- it makes disciples, not just converts.
- it is not run by professional clergy and paid staff who do all the work.
- it is every member’s task to be a witness, not just the leaders.
- for this purpose, the gift of the Holy Spirit are essential and available to all believers.
- all believers are uniquely precious, and uniquely gifted for God’s service.
