Statement of Belief
At Nambucca Valley Community Church, we believe in the core truths of the Christian faith. Here, you'll find our official Belief Statement, outlining the foundational principles that guide our church and its teachings.
We Believe…
The Bible
The Bible is the inspired and living Word of God. Therefore, we see the Bible as completely true, completely relevant and having the final authority on all aspects of our lives and our doctrinal stances.
God
God exists in three persons as the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
He is the one true God who is eternal, omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. God is one and in God’s Oneness created all things.
Sin
Sin is the rejection by mankind of God’s authority and failure to meet His standard.
Sin separates us from God and since all humanity has sinned, everyone is spiritually dead without Jesus Christ and all sinners are called to repentance.
Man
People are powerless to address the problem of sin on their own and no amount of righteous acts or good works can help humanity rectify this fallen state.
Jesus our Saviour and Lord
Salvation is possible only through Jesus Christ and without Him there is no reconciliation with God. For only by the death of Jesus on the cross our sins can be paid for, so that we can be forgiven by God.
We are both justified (made right) and sanctified (made clean) by the blood of Jesus.
Those who believe in the risen Jesus Christ are reconciled into a relationship with God and receive eternal life. This promise of salvation through Jesus in faith in the risen Jesus Christ and this by God’s grace alone and not by any works or efforts of our own.
Church
We believe in one universal church, with Christ as the head, and that all believers belong to.
Judgment
Our Lord Jesus will return to judge at an unknown time. All people living and dead will be raised to life and will face judgement. Those in Christ will live eternally with Him. Those who have rejected Jesus will spend eternity in hell.
Marriage
Marriage is between a Man and a Woman.
