About Kidderminster Evangelical Church

Introduction

Member of FIEC

Kidderminster Evangelical Church, Greatfield Road has served Kidderminster since the 1930s. Today we still seek to be a contemporary Bible-based church serving Jesus and making him known. We are a welcoming fellowship. Our activities are open to all.

Using recently extended premises, there is a growing programme of meetings ranging from Sunday worship services, midweek Bible study and prayer meetings and recreational clubs for young and old. We enjoy good links with the local primary school.

The church building is a venue for the Partners And Community Together (PACT) initiative in Sutton Park as well as Police Beat Officer surgeries. Our world-wide vision includes supporting overseas missionaries, relief and development work in the Third World and Birmingham City Mission.

**We believe in:**
The full inspiration of the Holy Scriptures; their authority and sufficiency as not only containing, but being in themselves, the Word of God; the reliability of the New Testament in its testimony to the character and authorship of the Old Testament; and the need of the teaching of the Holy Spirit to a true and spiritual understanding of the whole. The unity of the Godhead and the divine coequality of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; the Sovereignty of God in Creation, Providence and Redemption. The utter depravity of human nature in consequence of the fall, and the necessity of regeneration. The true and proper Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; His virgin birth; His real and perfect manhood; the authority of His teaching and the infallibility of all His utterances; His work of atonement for sinners of mankind by His vicarious sufferings and death; His bodily resurrection and His ascension into Heaven; and His present priestly intercession for His people. The justification of the sinner solely by faith, through the atoning merits of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit in regeneration, conversion, and sanctification, also in ministry and worship. The resurrection of the body, the judgement of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ with the eternal blessedness of the righteous and the eternal punishment of the wicked. The observance of Baptism as an ordinance of divine institution, but not as conveying any regenerating grace; and the observance of the Lord’s Supper as a commemoration of our Lord’s death, but not as being a sacrifice for sin, nor involving any change of the substance of the bread and wine. The personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ in Glory. This Declaration of Faith, 1936, is unalterable.
