We are a "living mosaic" that values both diversity and unity. We are made up of people from different religious backgrounds - Roman Catholic, Protestant, as well as little or no Christian background - but all with the desire to grow in our journey with Jesus. So we honour our differences but we focus on what we believe to be the essentials of the Christian faith. These are described in one of the oldest summaries of Christian beliefs, the Apostles' Creed...
The Apostles' Creed:
We believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
And born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
And is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy catholic church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting.
Amen.
