What we believe

The church at Bellevue Chapel is an independent evangelical church. As a summary of our faith we believe in:

One God: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit who created all things by His almighty power and is in control of all things.
Jesus Christ: the eternal Son of God who became man, lived a blameless life and died in our place, taking all our guilt away; who rose physically from the dead and is alive reigning in heaven today as Lord of all; who will one day return to this world and judge all men, condemning those who are unrepentant and unbelieving and taking those who have truly believed in Him to be with Him in heaven.
The Holy Spirit: who works in the hearts of people, enabling them to believe in Jesus Christ and to repent of their wrongdoings (sins) and who is a living reality in the lives of those who are true believers.
The Bible: which is God's Word, true and meaningful to all generations and in all circumstances, and tells us what we need to know, about what we should believe and how we should live.
Men and women: created perfect in the image of God but who, through disobedience, have become the slaves of sin and liable to God's just punishment.
The forgiveness of sin: this comes about as a free and undeserved gift through the death of the Lord Jesus, in the place of sinners, and is received only through faith in Him
The Church: this is the world wide community of all who truly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.

What is a Christian?

At the heart of the Christian faith is a living relationship with God. The bible tells us that becoming a Christian is about finding forgiveness through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Being a Christian involves living for God daily and looking to God for guidance and direction It is not a religion based on rules and regulations but a relationship based on unconditional love and forgiveness.
