What We Believe

On the "Who We Are" Page, we said that RCC is an independent charismatic evangelical church. If you are not a church-goer, perhaps some of these descriptions need explaining:

Independent
This means we don't belong to a denomination. Yes we did relate to the C-Net family of churches but unlike a denomination we are not answerable to an outside authority and therefore have a greater freedom as to how we operate.

Charismatic
This means we believe that God is able to speak and move today in direct and specific ways as shown in the Bible.

Evangelical

This means we seek to base all we believe and all we do on the Bible.

Below are some of those basic Biblical beliefs:

Statement of Beliefs:

We believe in -

• The Sovereignty and Grace of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit in creation, providence, revelation, redemption, and final judgement.
• The divine inspiration of Holy Scripture and its consequent entire trustworthiness and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
• The universal sinfulness and guilt of fallen man making him subject to God's wrath and condemnation.
• The substitutionary sacrifice of the incarnate Son of God as the sole and all-sufficient ground of redemption from the guilt and power of sin and from its eternal consequences.
• The justification of the sinner solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ crucified and risen from the dead.
• The illuminating, regenerating, indwelling, and sanctifying work of God the Holy Spirit.
• The priesthood of all believers who form the universal Church, the Body of which Christ is the Head, and which is committed by His command to the proclamation of the Gospel throughout the world.
• The expectation of the personal, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ in power and glory.
