This Day Grace

Basis of Faith (taken from the Evangelical Alliance)

We believe in...

  • The one true God who lives eternally in three persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
  • The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.
  • The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God—fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.
  • The dignity of all people, made male and female in God's image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.
  • The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ—born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.
  • The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.
  • The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the Father, and his reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world.
  • The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
  • The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.
  • The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers—given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit's gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love.
  • The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.

Want to know more?

Oak Grove Chapel believes that there are ways in which we can all serve as part of the family of God and get involved in the life of the church and its work in the community.

There are opportunities to get involved in many of the ministries and activities referred to elsewhere on this website, so please feel free to contact the church office for more information.

If you would like to get involved on a Sunday, we also have teams of people who provide practical help with stewarding, welcoming people at the door, making tea and coffee and operating the overhead projector. If you are musical, you may be interested in finding out about our worship band, or if you are technically minded, our PA team may be the place you can serve.

For more information on any of the above, please contact the church office by telephone on 01603 403388 or via e-mail office@oakgrovechapel.co.uk.
