Beliefs

What we believe at Ammanford Church about Jesus, us and everything in between

The headline for all we do at Ammanford Church is Jesus - everything is from Him and for Him. The most important thing for all of us is how we relate to Him and to the Father through Him.


As a church we hold to a typical evangelical statement of faith. We Believe …

About God
  1. There is one God in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.


2. God is sovereign in creation, revelation, redemption and final judgement.

About the Bible

3. The Bible, as originally given, is the inspired and infallible Word of God. It is the supreme authority in all matters of belief and behaviour.

About Humanity

4. Since the fall, the whole of humankind is sinful and guilty, so that everyone is subject to God's wrath and condemnation.

About Jesus

5. The Lord Jesus Christ, God's incarnate Son, is fully God; He was born of a virgin; His humanity is real and sinless; He died on the cross, was raised bodily from death and is now reigning over heaven and earth.

About Salvation

6. Sinful human beings are redeemed from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the sacrificial death once and for all time of their representative and substitute, Jesus Christ, the only mediator between them and God.


7. Those who believe in Christ are pardoned all their sins and accepted in God’s sight only because of the righteousness of Christ credited to them; this justification is God’s act of undeserved mercy, received solely by trust in him and not by their own efforts.

About the Holy Spirit

8. The Holy Spirit alone makes the work of Christ effective to individual sinners, enabling them to turn to God from their sin and to trust in Jesus Christ.


9. The Holy Spirit lives in all those he has regenerated. He makes them increasingly Christlike in character and behaviour and gives them power for their witness in the world.

About the Church

10. The one holy, universal Church is the Body of Christ, to which all true believers belong.

About Eternity

11. The Lord Jesus Christ will return in person, to judge everyone, to execute God's just condemnation on those who have not repented and to receive the redeemed to eternal glory.
