Denomination: Church of England
We are a Christ-centred faith community of all ages and many nationalities. We are excited about helping everyone to discover the redeeming love of God and to grow in faith, hope and love as we serve Cockfosters and the world around us for the wider good. Part of the Church of England, we warmly invite you to visit us on a Sunday and join us on this journey of hope, joy and purpose.
We believe that God our Creator sent His Son Jesus Christ 2000 years ago so that we could become His children, follow Him today, and be confident of eternal life. Jesus lived, died, and rose again in order to forgive our sins, redeem the world, transform our lives, and give us and all creation a hope to live for.
We want to express God’s love for the world in the way that we live and relate to others, and we find the Bible a reliable guide in discovering God and His will for our lives. Faith for us means a transforming and trusting relationship with God through Jesus Christ in the power of God’s Spirit.
Our church life is focused around three values:
reaching the lost – helping others to find the love of God for themselves through sharing the good news and acts of compassion
gathering a community of grace – a “come as you are” culture which is ready to change anything except the gospel in order to help as many as possible to find the love of God here
growing more like Christ – asking God to help us grow in faith, hope and love for Him and for others
These values find expression in our Vision Statement inspired by the first Christians in Acts 2:42 – They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Our vision for 2015 is 2 Peter 5:1-7.
We are part of the Church of England and follow the evangelical stream within that tradition, with a focus on evangelism, Scripture, the death of Christ for us, and a call to personal devotion. We are a member of the Evangelical Alliance and subscribe to their Basis of Faith.
