At Stonelaw, we worship and rejoice in the God who created all things. Our God is loving and good. When we turned away from his love, and refused to live in his goodness, he sent his son Jesus Christ into the world.

In the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus, as proclaimed in the Scriptures, we find the good news of God's grace. God freely offers us forgiveness for our sins and the possibility of a new life in him.

We believe that God is calling a new people together in Jesus Christ. Christians are not simply individuals who believe, but we are called to be a community, growing, sharing and worshipping together. God has sent his Holy Spirit to renew us, and to empower us to share in God's mission of renewing all of creation.

In being baptised and in sharing the bread and wine together we declare that we belong to Jesus Christ and to each other. Women and men, children and adults, are all equally included in this belonging. We recite the creeds - declaring that our faith is shared with Christians down through the centuries and throughout the world today.

We are a church in the Reformed tradition. That means we are constantly looking for the Word of God, contained in the Old and New Testaments, to shape and renew our life together. We take the Bible seriously.

It also means that we believe that every Christian is vital. God listens and relates to his children equally. Everyone can know God's grace and receive his Spirit. The Church is called to reflect that by encouraging everyone to play their part in our shared mission - whatever that part may be.
