Learning God's Word Together | Growing in Faith and Fellowship
We are a congregation dedicated to following the New Testament pattern of worship and Christian living. Our mission is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, strengthen believers in their faith, and serve our community with the love of Christ. We gather together to worship God, study His Word, and encourage one another in our journey of faith.
OUR PURPOSE
Mission
To glorify God by living and sharing the gospel of Christ, nurturing spiritual growth, and serving our community with love and compassion.
We strive to walk faithfully in the teachings of Scripture, build one another up in Christ, and lead others to the saving grace of Jesus through word and deed.
Vision
To be a Christ-centered church where every member is equipped to serve, every heart is transformed by the Word, and every soul is inspired to reach the lost.
Our vision is to see the church of Christ in Edmonton grow as a light in the community — united in faith, steadfast in hope, and abounding in love.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
In the salvation of man's soul, there are 2 necessary parts: God's part and man's part. God's part is the big part, 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, that no man should glory' (Ephesians 2:8-9). The love which God felt for man led him to send Christ into the world to redeem man. The life and teaching of Jesus, the sacrifice on the cross, and the proclaiming of the gospel to men constitute God's part in salvation. Though God's part is the big part, man's part is also necessary if a man is to reach heaven. Man must comply with the conditions of pardon which the Lord has announced.
Faith comes by hearing the word of God. The gospel message must be proclaimed and received before one can respond to God’s call.
Faith is the foundation of our relationship with God. We must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him
Repentance is a change of heart and mind that leads to a change of life. God commands all people everywhere to turn from sin and turn to Him.
Public confession of faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God is an essential step in responding to the gospel. This confession acknowledges Jesus as our Lord and Saviour.
Baptism is immersion in water for the forgiveness of sins. It is the moment when God washes away our sins and we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
After becoming a Christian, we are called to live faithfully, growing in grace and knowledge of our Lord. We are a holy people, set apart to show forth God’s excellencies to the world.
OUR TEAM
As part of the Church's organisation, teachers and preachers are needed to minister in various areas needed by the church including children, youths, and adults. We have many men who have committed their lives to teaching and preaching at Edmonton in addition to the elders.
Scripture
Now many have undertaken to compile an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 like the accounts passed on to us by those who were eyewitnesses and servants of the word from the beginning.
