Normandy Vision's Statement of Faith

What we believe

• The sovereignty and grace of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit in creation, providence, revelation, redemption and final judgement.
• The divine inspiration of the Holy Scripture and its consequent entire trustworthiness and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
• The universal sinfulness and guilt of fallen humans, making them subject to God's wrath and condemnation.
• The substitutionary sacrifice of the incarnate Son of God as the sole all sufficient ground of redemption from the guilt and power of sin and from its eternal consequences.
• The justification of the sinner solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ crucified and risen from the dead.
• The illuminating, regenerating, indwelling and sanctifying work of God the Holy Spirit.
• The priesthood of all believers, who form the universal Church, the Body of which Christ is the Head and which is committed by His command to the proclamation of the Gospel throughout the world.
• The expectation of the personal, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ in power and glory.

Summary of our faith

• The Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one God in three persons.
• That God is a God of love, mercy and grace, and is also a God of holiness, justice and righteousness.
• The full deity of Jesus Christ together with his full humanity and virgin birth.
• The final authority of the Bible in all that it says.
• All people are born sinners and can only be saved by the sovereign grace of God through repentance and faith in the sacrificial death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.
