MISSION – To bring the existing ministry of the Lowry Church to the Selby community, in order to glorify God by making disciples rooted in and transformed by God’s Word; living out our faith together in worship, fellowship, and discipleship; growing in love for God and His people.
SCRIPTURE IS GOD’S WORD – The Bible is God’s only true Revelation of Himself, given to man without error. It is our only authority and provides us all the answers we need in this life about who God is, all He has done and how we should live.
GOD IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS- There is only one living and true God and Creator of all, who exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He does not change and is in control over all things. He is perfect in holiness, justice, love, goodness, and mercy. God wants a personal relationship with each of us.
SIN IS A PROBLEM WE CAN’T SOLVE OURSELVES- All people, except Jesus, are born into a condition of sin. Sin is anything in us that is contrary to God’s character. The result of our sin is separation from God in life now and in death for eternity. The good things we do cannot earn our salvation.
JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY – Jesus is the Son of God. He was both fully man and fully God. He lived a sinless life and so was able to be the perfect sacrifice for the sin of all mankind. He defeated death when He rose from the dead. He is the only way to salvation.
FAITH & REPENTANCE LEAD TO SALVATION – We can be saved by God’s grace through faith in Jesus! We must admit our sin and guilt before God, place our trust in Jesus’s death and resurrection, and turn away from our sin to follow Jesus in every part of our life.
DISCIPLESHIP IS OUR CALLING – Once we come to saving faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit fills our life and begins making us more like Christ – developing a desire to understand and obey God’s Word, maturing us in our faith and trust in God.
