We believe that the bible reveals the following things:- - God is perfect, we are not.
- God made us perfect and we moved away from his perfection.
- God loves us and seeks to bring us back to his perfection.
- God sent Jesus to live on earth, die on the cross and return to life in order to enable us to be reconciled with God.
- We must respond by faith and commitment to what God has done.
- When reconciled with God we commence a process of returning to perfection through the work of God’s Holy Spirit.
- When we die physically we are made perfect by the power of God and we will live with him forever.
- The people of NorthWest Community Baptist Church will never force these beliefs on any person, we will happily share what we believe to any person willing to listen.
NorthWest Community Baptist Church is a led by a Senior Pastor and run by a Leadership Team and a Management Team. The Senior Pastor is called by the congregation and the Leadership and Management Teams are voted in by the congregation at an Annual General Meeting each July. Every member of the church is able to express their view at each church meeting and has the ability to influence church directions through their voting right. The aim of each church meeting is to collectively discern the will of God for the church. While our church meetings are open to all only members may cast a vote. People become members of NorthWest Community Baptist Church by completing and signing the Partners in Ministry Document. This course which outlines the beliefs and practices of the church is run regularly so that people who wish to belong to the church are able to do so. Signing the Partnership Document is a way of expressing commitment to the beliefs, practices and vision of NorthWest Community Baptist Church.
