What We Believe

What we believe is one of the most important things about us. At MOBC all Church Members affirm the following basis of faith:

  • That there is one God in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
  • That Jesus Christ is God the Son, who revealed God and God’s love for all people by becoming truly human, giving Himself up to death on the cross, rising from the dead and ascending into heaven
  • That all people are sinners and therefore separated from God
  • That by His gracious gift alone, God makes people right with Himself through the sacrificial death of Jesus
  • That this gift is received by faith alone
  • That God the Holy Spirit convinces people of sin and indwells all believers, giving them new, eternal and holy life
  • That at the end of time shall be the Day of Judgement when Jesus will come again as King forever, and faith in Him will be the only hope
  • That the Christian Church is the gathered community of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ
  • That there are two New Testament ceremonies signifying an inward spiritual gift, baptism of believers by immersion in water and the Lord’s Supper
  • That the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct

Much of the above is necessarily couched in theological language. If you would like help to understand any part of it then please submit a request via the Contact Page
