Cumnock Congregational ChurchOur Beliefs
We are an independent self governing body of people who have declared their faith in Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord and who meet together to worship and serve the Kingdom of God. Sitting in the tradition of Congregationalism with biblical doctrine, we seek to reach out into the community, showing that the message of Jesus is a timeless truth for all peoples of every age.
We believe the bible to be the inspired Word of God written in Scripture and hold it as the supreme standard of faith, life and doctrine.We believe that God has given us good news in Jesus Christ.
- The good news is that Jesus is God's Son, entering our world, sharing our nature, in order to become our Saviour and Lord
- The good news is that Jesus' life of obedience, his death on the cross and his resurrection bring us forgiveness and new life
- The good news calls us to trust in Christ, to receive peace with God and in the power of God's Spirit to turn from our sinfulness and to live for him
