What We Believe
St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church is a Christian community.
- We believe that there is a personal God who is “the maker of heaven and earth”.
- We believe that this God is involved in the life of this world, and that He intervened in an unprecedented way in the person of Jesus.
- We believe that Jesus’ life shows us life as it was meant to be. His death reveals both how far people will go to shut God out, and how far God will go to keep the door open. Jesus’ resurrection both proves his claims and promises that God always has the final word, even over death. We acknowledge Jesus as Saviour and Lord.
- We believe that God is involved in our lives through the Holy Spirit – God’s dynamic presence in the world -- changing us and equipping us to serve.
- We believe God speaks to us uniquely through the Bible – In it, we encounter God's heart and God's will for our lives. It shapes all we are and do in response to what Jesus has done for us.
- We believe in relationship with God, a relationship that is sustained and strengthened through worship and fellowship, the Bible and prayer. We believe that we aren’t in this alone, but rather that we are part of a community that God is growing.
If you’d like to dig deeper into some of the specifics of what we believe as a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, we invite you to look at our “subordinate standards” (subordinate to the Bible): Living Faith, The Westminster Confession of Faith, and the Declaration of Faith Concerning Church and Nation.
