Church Practical & Doctrinal Distinctives     

 

Below are 5 statements that sum up the essence of what we want Gabalfa to be about as a church. These are the things that we want to cling to as a fellowship as those things that will make us distinct - those things that will cause us to be a ‘city that is set on a hill’ that ‘cannot be hidden’. Our desire as a church has to be to stand out from the world, to let our light shine before men, that they would glorify our Father in Heaven. These statements are the foundations stones of how we desire to do this.

 

 

Proclaiming the authority of
God's Word without apology
2 Timothy 4:2; Romans 1:16

 

 

Believing actively in the power
of personal and corporate prayer
Matthew 6:6; Acts 4:41

 

 

Holding firmly to the priority of preaching the
Gospel in fulfilment of the Great Commission

Mark 16:15; 1 Corinthians 1:18, 21

 

 

Pursuing actively the manifest presence of God in a
lifestyle of worship and corporate praise

John 4:24; Psalm 100:4; Romans 12:1-2

 

 

Seeking to serve one another in fellowship
as a channel for God's grace in our lives

1 Corinthians 12:7 & 25; Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Peter 4:10
