FAQ's

The following are some commonly asked questions about Christianity and our faith. If you have a question please submit it by filling out the form below!

1. What Jesus a man or was he God?

Jesus Christ was both fully a man and fully God. "..Two whole, perfect, and distinct natures, the Godhead and the manhood, were inseparably joined together in one person, without conversion, composition, or confusion"1. He existed as God from all eternity, but when man fell into sin, he took upon himself the body of a man, so that he could be our Savour and our Intercessor. He lived the perfect human life, without sin, died on the cross as a substitute for all of our sins and is now seated on the right hand of the Father. (see John 1:1, Galations 4:4, Phillipians 2:6)

2. What does the term "saved" mean?

In Christian terms the word "saved" refers to a person who has acknowledged the Lordship of Jesus Christ over his/her life and has come to Him humbly and repentant, for the forgiveness of sins. This person then is in a continually growing relationship with Christ and is therefore saved from God's wrath and justice. The condition of being saved is not just a one time event in a person's life, but rather an ongoing relationship with our creator and redeemer. It will inevitably lead us to an eternity with our Lord in heaven! (see Mark 16:16, John 3:16, Acts 2:21, Romans 10:9)

3. How can I find a good church?

Finding a good church can sometimes be difficult, but certainly not impossible. When visiting a church here are some things to consider:

• You can understand what is going on. There is some order to the service and people are speaking plainly and you can follow what is happening.
  
• The people are genuinely friendly and approachable. Someone greets you and asks your name or request some basic information from you so they can keep in touch with you (i.e. send you letters about future events, prayer requests from you..etc)
  
• The Pastor or Minister speaks clearly and intelligently. Although you may not understand everything you are able to grasp the main points of his message. His message should be centered on Christ, God, the Bible. The Bible is used as the main reference. Ask for their statement of faith or ask someone to explain to you what they believe, if you feel so inclined. If they have a web site check it out!
  
• You should never feel pressured to do anything, i.e. make a commitment, give money, make a pledge, etc.
  
• The church offers weekday activities such as prayer or bible study or discipleship classes, so as to foster growth and learning.
• The church itself should be a distance you are willing to travel at least twice a week.
