Our Faith

Our Faith

 “We aim to foster faith in the Ferry and Barnhill with the 5 Marks of Mission at our core”

Central to the Church (of Scotland) is our love and worship of God through following the teachings and examples of Jesus Christ. Few people would argue that Jesus didn’t exist and through the bible God has spoken to us through Jesus. After Jesus’ death and resurrection, God sent the Holy Spirit to help us live life His way.

We express our love for God by our love and practical care for each other and for those we live with and encounter in our daily lives, following The Five Marks of Mission:

  • To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom
  • To teach, baptise and nurture new believers
  • To respond to human need by loving service
  • To seek to transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation
  • To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth

We can be a Christian on our own, but we’ll get help and encouragement in a group.
