About our beliefs

We at The Well Church get all of our beliefs directly from God, and strongly believe that only God can be held as the standard of what is moral and right.

We believe in the divine authority of the Bible and believe it is God’s direct and perfect word.

Beliefs: how we get them:

We The Well Church affirm the following beliefs as foundational to our faith and practice. We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is the ultimate guide for our faith, conduct, and doctrine. We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person is fully God, sharing the same essence and attributes. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death through His shed blood, bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory. The Holy Spirit We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, who indwells believers to empower them for godly living and service. We affirm the gifts of the Spirit as active and vital for the church today.

The Well Church London is part of the evangelical alliance.

Statement of belief

1. The Bible
   We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, authoritative and without error in its original manuscripts. It is the foundation for all faith and practice.

2. God
   We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is the Creator of all things, and He is sovereign over all creation.

3. Jesus Christ
   We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for sin, and was resurrected from the dead. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus offers salvation to all who believe.

4. The Holy Spirit
   We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, who convicts the world of sin, regenerates believers, and empowers them to live holy lives. The Holy Spirit also equips believers with spiritual gifts for service within the Church.

5. Salvation
   We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ. It is a free gift from God, not based on human effort, and it involves repentance from sin, faith in the work of Jesus on the cross, and a personal relationship with Him.

6. The Church
   We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ, made up of all believers, and is called to worship God, teach the gospel, and make disciples of all nations. The Church is also a place for fellowship, service, and the exercise of spiritual gifts.

7. Baptism and the Lord’s Supper
   We believe in two ordinances: Baptism by immersion, as a public declaration of faith in Christ, and the Lord’s Supper (communion), which is a remembrance of Christ’s death and a proclamation of His return.

8. The Second Coming of Christ
   We believe in the physical return of Jesus Christ to earth to judge the living and the dead, establish His eternal kingdom, and bring about the full restoration of all things.

9. Eternal Life
   We believe in the resurrection of the dead. Those who have trusted in Christ will experience eternal life with God, while those who have rejected Him will face eternal separation from God.

10. The Kingdom of God
    We believe that the Kingdom of God is both a present reality and a future hope. Jesus inaugurated the Kingdom through His life, death, and resurrection, and believers are called to live under His lordship while awaiting its full consummation.
