EDENVALE BAPTIST CHURCH
Churches in Edenvale

We love the Gospel of Jesus which reveals the means of being reconciled with God. We also love the Church, since it is through the Church that the Gospel of Jesus is proclaimed, and it is through the Church that all the healing aspects of the Gospel can be experienced. This includes their home life, their work life and their social spaces. That means we place the ministry of the Gospel at the centre of all we do. We Declare it, Demonstrate it, and commit to a lifelong journey of assimilating all aspects of the Gospel into our daily lives ( Phil 1:3-6, 27-28 ). To the Ends of the Earth through Edenvale: This means that our mission field extends from our local city of Edenvale to the global scope of the Nations. In the Power of the Holy Spirit: This means that we are a Spiritual Church, depending on the Sovereign equipping of God through the Holy Spirit. We therefore place a primacy on prayer in absolutely everything we do. We thus recognise the gifts of the Spirit, and submit as best we can to the direction and guidance of the Spirit. We believe in one Creator God, Who created us in His image, To be in a worshiping relationship with Him. We believe mankind has always rebelled against God, and therefore incurred the penalty of death. But we also believe that God in His love, desiring to rescue us from our own sin, came to earth in the form of a man, Jesus Christ, and suffered our punishment for us, on our behalf. Not only do we love it, but we believe it’s true, and that by putting our faith in Jesus Christ we will receive the redemption that His sacrifice offers. We believe these things because God has recorded this message for us in the Bible, which we believe is completely true. We therefore give the Scriptures due authority in matters of Faith and Life. We also know these things are true because we believe God is alive and speaks to us today, through the Holy Spirit. We believe this Holy Spirit is the third member of the Trinity, which is the best way we can describe the fact that God exists eternally in 3 persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Not just this one, but every faithful witness to Jesus all over the world. We believe that joining this worshiping community is essential to not only understanding all these things, but integrating them into daily life. We believe there is no fulfillment on this earth without living in relationship with God, and we hope that as a Church we can help you do that.
