Church (OSCC) is the advance of the
Christian Faith as stated under the Charitable
Objects, in accordance with our Statement of
Faith, summarised as follows:-
1.We believe the Bible, as given in the
original tongues, is the inspired and true
Word of the Living God.
2.There is one God revealed as the Father, in
his Son Jesus Christ, and by his Holy Spirit.
3. The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is
God manifest in the flesh, the Redeemer of
Israel, and personal Saviour of all mankind.
4.Salvation is by grace, through faith in
Jesus Christ, his death on the cross, and
his resurrection, in accordance with the
teaching of the Apostles.
5.The Full Gospel of the Kingdom of God, and
its personal, prophetic, national and global
message. We confess Jesus Christ as
Saviour, Healer, Baptiser and Coming King
of all Israel, and all the families of the earth.
This accords with the command given by the
Apostles to Israel, and all mankind ─
_Repent, and be baptized every one of you in_
_the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of_
_sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy_
_Spirit. For the promise is unto you, and to your_
_children, and to all that are afar off, even as_
_many as the Lord our God shall call._
