What we believe
At St Cath’s we want to introduce people to Jesus…
We believe that Jesus was God, he was born as a human child 2,000 years ago, and after he had been crucified by the Romans, he rose from the dead after three days. Quite a lot to believe, but there is evidence that it’s true. Being a Christian is a choice you make, but it’s not a leap in the dark. There are good reasons to believe. We believe that Jesus is still alive and wants us to get to know him – the very thing we were created for.
Jesus said that he came to give us life as full as it could be. That life is first found in proper connection to God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Our desire is to provide a God-honouring atmosphere for that relationship to develop through bible teaching, study, prayer and service to others.
Each of us needs connection with other people - in church we often use the analogy of a family because the bible calls fellow believers brothers and sisters. God has brought each and every one of us into community with one another, and equipped us for a specific function within that community. We want to see everyone discover their part and enable them to live it out.
Being a Christian makes a difference to how we live our lives – at least, it should. We know we don’t always get it right but we do our best to live for Jesus and we’d love you to join that journey with us.
