About becoming a Christian

Becoming a Christian is about making a personal commitment to follow Jesus Christ. This commitment is something which, although simple, you must do personally. When you are ready to make this commitment you might say this prayer:

Lord Jesus Christ, I humbly acknowledge that I have sinned, sometimes unknowingly, often deliberately. I understand that my sins have separated me from you, and there is nothing I can do to make things right. I now believe that you have taken the punishment I deserved, when you were crucified. I also understand that you offer to forgive my sins, if I turn away from them, and ask you to forgive me. I want to do this. Lord Jesus, I am turning away from my past sins, please forgive me for them, save me and be my Lord from now on.

If you make this commitment, we ask you to get in touch with us – we would be delighted to send you some material, free of charge, that will help you grow in your Christian life. Contact us here.

About Baptism

When someone decides to become a Christian part of our expression of having a personal faith in Jesus is being baptised. It is an exciting time, but there are things about baptism that need to be understood.

“Baptism” comes from a Greek word meaning “dipping, drenching, submerg¬ing”. From a distance, baptism may seem weird or even superstitious. However, after a little probing you will discover that apart from its deep spiritual significance for those who believe, it also makes very good sense.

Baptism is fundamentally a ceremony of commitment. Right through history, hu¬man cultures have made “ceremonies of commitment” very expressive in symbolism. Baptism is full of symbolism, and powerfully communicates what it means to be a follower of Jesus.

We have produced a brochure, What is Baptism?, and we’d be delighted to send it to you free of charge – just contact us here.

About Membership

As a church we prefer to think of ourselves as a Christian family rather than an institution or organisation. All those who choose to worship with us are regarded as vital participants within that Christian family, and pastoral care is offered to all irrespective of whether folk are members or not. We do, however, view church membership as illustrating an important biblical principle: An individual Christian commits him/herself to a local group of believers, and that group of believers commits itself in turn to the individual Christian.
