What we believe

St John's believes in and stands for traditional Christian faith. We believe in God, who has revealed himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus is God, and that he came to this earth in order to die on the cross. In dying on the cross we believe that Jesus paid the debt of our sins - a debt we could never pay on our own. By Jesus doing this our sins have been forgiven, and God welcomes us as his children. But Jesus didn't just die - he rose again from the dead at Easter. By rising from the dead he defeated the power of death, and so for all who believe in Jesus death has no power over them. We believe that as Christians we can look forward with confidence to eternal life with God in his Kingdom, a kingdom we call Heaven.
