STATEMENT OF FAITH
What We Believe
Our faith and ministry are grounded in the Word of God and centred on the person and work of Jesus Christ. These beliefs express the biblical foundation that shapes our teaching, ministry and service.
Grounded in Scripture. Centred on Christ.
OUR FOUNDATION
Holding Faithfully to God’s Word
Navsarjan Ministry seeks to remain faithful to Scripture in what we believe, teach and practise. Our Statement of Faith reflects the biblical truths that guide our ministry as we seek to know Christ, make Him known and build up His people.
01 · OUR FOUNDATION
God and His Word
01
THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the final authority for faith and life. Through Scripture, God reveals Himself, His purposes and His will for His people. We seek to understand, teach and apply God’s Word faithfully in every area of life and ministry.
02
GOD
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, holy, loving, just and sovereign over His creation.
03
JESUS CHRIST
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins and rose bodily from the dead. Through Him alone we receive forgiveness, reconciliation with God and eternal life.
04
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who brings people to faith in Jesus Christ and dwells within believers. He helps us understand God’s Word, transforms us to become more like Christ and equips us to live faithfully and serve God.
02 · SALVATION AND THE CHURCH
Made New Through Christ
05
HUMANITY AND SIN
We believe every person is created in the image of God and has value and dignity before Him. Through sin, humanity is separated from God and unable to restore that relationship by our own efforts. We are therefore in need of God’s grace and salvation.
06
SALVATION
We believe salvation is the gift of God’s grace and is received through faith in Jesus Christ. Through His death and resurrection, those who trust in Him are forgiven, reconciled to God and made new in Christ.
07
THE CHURCH
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, made up of all who belong to Him through faith. Believers are called to gather together, grow in God’s Word, encourage one another, serve together and participate in God’s work in the world.
03 · OUR LIFE AND HOPE
Living for Christ. Looking to His Return.
08
CHRISTIAN LIVING AND MISSION
We believe followers of Jesus Christ are called to live in obedience to God’s Word, grow in Christlike character, love God and others, and make the good news of Jesus Christ known. We seek to serve faithfully, encourage believers and work alongside local churches for the building up of the body of Christ.
09
CHRIST’S RETURN AND ETERNAL HOPE
We believe Jesus Christ will return and that God will bring His purposes to completion. Those who belong to Christ have the hope of eternal life with Him. This hope encourages us to remain faithful, live for Christ and continue His work while we await His return.
A NEW CREATION
Made New in Christ
The name Navsarjan means “new creation.” It reflects the transformation found in Jesus Christ and our desire to see people renewed through Him, growing in His Word and living faithfully as His people.
2 Corinthians 5:17
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.”
