Below is Scott Hall Church’s doctrine / statement of beliefs that are held within our congregation, and embraced within our Mission Statement: “ To know God and to make Him known “.

We believe in:

1. The inspiration, authority and sufficiency of the Bible as the Word of God.

2. The unity of the Trinity of God, the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit with equal honour due.

3. God became man in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ being born of the Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit into the world where man had fallen into a sinful state and lost as a consequence of the disobedience of Adam resulting in enmity between God and man.

4. The sacrificial death of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide eternal forgiveness for man’s sin for all who accept His offer of salvation through the cross.

5. When His work on earth was done, He ascended back to the Father in heaven and is our great High Priest giving direct access for all believers into the presence of God.

6. He will come back to earth again as Lord of All and receive His people in His new kingdom.

7. All true believers who have accepted the personal sacrifice of Jesus for their sins through the work of conviction and regeneration by the Holy Spirit have a promised eternity with Him.

8. Our justification and acceptance as forgiven by God is by faith alone and our new life is made evident by following His commands.

9. The recognition of entering into a new relationship with God through baptism by immersion on personal confession of faith.

10. Remembrance of the saving work of Christ on the cross through Breaking of Bread worship each Sunday as far as circumstances allow and the reception at the Lord’s Table for all who are true believers in Him.

11. Reaching out to the local community with the message of the Gospel by conducting appropriate evangelical services and activities for all ages to assist in bringing people to salvation.

12. Building up the knowledge of the Bible and personal faith for members of the church by regular teaching and pastoral care from the leadership.

In worship:

Worshipping God together, and encouraging each other to do this individually. This includes celebrating communion/ ‘breaking bread’ in obedience to Jesus’ request that we regularly remember him in his death and resurrection.

In Prayer:

Faithfully praying together for: each other, our local community, missionary contacts, leaders both in the church and beyond, our country, and for all peoples across the world.

In Teaching:

Through delivering biblical teachings and encouraging each other and ourselves to them put into practice, we aim to live as a united and loving community of God’s people who follow the example set to us in God’s word: the Bible.

In Witnessing:

By sharing the gospel (good news) of Jesus Christ through events and individual witness in our local community, we aim to bring others to knowing God for themselves.
