About Us
Our Conviction
That coming to know Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord is the most important thing that can happen to any person and living for him is the most beneficial way of valuing and helping other people now and eternally.
Our Aim
To help people
- Come to a living faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
- Grow in maturity as Christians
- Serve as Jesus’ disciples in every part of their lives
Our Area
Principally in the north Carlisle area, but we aim to use 10% of our income to support similar ministries elsewhere, prioritising those with links to the north Carlisle area.
Our Methods
These are the main ways we use the money we receive:
- Training for Christian ministry
- Making grants to individuals
- Employing people for Christian ministry
- Helping to finance this through churches or other Christian bodies
- Directly to fulfil our aims, especially where the role is wider than a single church would be able to support
Statement of Faith
The doctrine of the Church of England is grounded in the Holy Scriptures, and in such teachings of the ancient Fathers and Councils of the Church as are agreeable to the said Scriptures. In particular such doctrine is to be found in the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Ordinal. (Canon A5 of the Church of England).
Specifically:
- The one true God who lives eternally in three persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
- The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.
- The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God—fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.
- The dignity of all people, made male and female in God's image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.
- The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ—born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.
- The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.
- The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the Father, and his reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world.
- The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
- The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.
- The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers
—given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit's gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love.
- The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.
