We believe that… there is more to life.
At South Woodham Evangelical Church, we believe: –
- Forgiveness and a brand new start are possible with Christ.
- The Lordship of Christ sets us free to be our true selves.
- Relationship with God gives a deeper purpose and sense of adventure to life…
- In the Authority of the Bible because in the Bible we learn about God’s big story and his mission of love to humanity shown supremely in Christ Jesus.
- Baptism for Believers expresses a truly personal faith.
- In the Priesthood of all Believers because it affirms the place of all Christians in the worship and service of God.
- Believers, seekers and doubters should be made welcome in our services.
- Church Membership and Church Members’ Meetings should be a genuine expression of Christian community, a gathering of Christians called together to be in covenant commitment to each other who seek together to take responsibility for the life of the church.
- Interdependence is necessary because we need each other and each church needs other churches.
- Sharing the Faith is vital because we are people of conviction and want others to know the life giving relationship that we have with God through Jesus Christ.
- Religious Freedom is of the utmost importance because only free faith is true faith and all should have the freedom to come to their own convictions.
