The Christian faith

As Christians, we trust in God who created us and all created things out of love, who loves each one of unconditionally and without exception, and who longs to be in relationship with us.

We believe that God is revealed in the life of Jesus Christ, who showed us what it means to love to the very end, without counting the cost.  We believe that Jesus demonstrated this in the ultimate way, dying on a cross and then mysteriously passing through death by rising again to a new life.  As Christians, we seek to follow Jesus’ example, loving God and loving one another above all things.

We also believe that God is living, loving, and active in our lives and in the world today through the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit inspires us and strengthens us to work for truth and justice and for the renewal and restoration of the whole of creation.

But the Christian faith isn’t first and foremost about things we know or believe in our heads to be true; it is about a relationship with God and the implications of that relationship on how we live our lives.  We hope that Holy Cross church can be a place where all people – whatever you do or don’t believe – can sense the wonder and love of God.

If you want to explore the Christian faith, the best place to start is by coming along to worship, because it is a faith lived in community with other followers of ‘The Way’ as Christianity was called in its early days.

We also offer specific opportunities to learn more about aspects of Christianity. These are advertised on the website and on Facebook.
