Beliefs of the URC

The URC stands in the REFORMED tradition of Christian faith:

• believes in one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit;

• finds the supreme authority for faith by the guidance of the Spirit in the Word of God in the Bible;

• looks to be continually renewed and reformed so as to fulfil its mission of witness and service in the name of Jesus Christ;

• practises both infant and believer's baptism; and celebrates the Lord's Supper;

• recognises the ministry of God's people: all the members serving in the world and through the church; ministers of Word and Sacrament, elders, lay preachers, Church Related community Workers (CRCW) and workers from partner churches.
