Like St Hilda
Like St Hilda who lived in the 7th Century, we are followers, and modern day disciples, of Jesus Christ. While we admire, and are inspired by, St Hilda's wisdom and example of godly living, we draw inspiration principally from the Bible and, in particular, the Christian Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These convey to us the teaching and the example of Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, the Saviour of the world and that through Him God forgives sin. More than that, we experience the Holy Spirit who empowers the Church and gifts God's people for service. We belong to the church community because this enables us to grow in faith and to serve with God's people. |
