Grimsby Neighbourhood Church is Pentecostal in doctrine and practice. We are part of the Elim Family that has over 550 Churches in the UK and is connected to 9,000 Churches abroad.
Elim Churches share a set of beliefs outlined here:
The Saviour
We believe in the true and proper deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His real and complete humanity, in His sinless life, in his authoritative teaching, in His substitutionary and atoning sacrifice through His blood shed, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His heavenly intercession and His second advent to receive His Church.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son and the necessity of His work in conviction of sin, repentance and sanctification, and that the believer is also promised an enduement of power as the gift of Christ through the baptism in the Holy Spirit with signs following. Through this enduement the believer is empowered for fuller participation in the ministry of the Church, its worship, evangelism, and service.
Mankind
We believe in the inherent dignity and value of every person, as created in God's image and likeness, male and female, to be in fellowship with God and serve God's purposes in creation. Yet on account of the universal sinfulness of all men due to the Fall, humanity is subject to God's righteous wrath and condemnation.
Salvation
We believe in the necessity for Salvation, of repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by which the sinner is pardoned and accepted as righteous in God's sight. This justification is imputed by the grace of God because of the atoning work of Christ, is received by faith alone, and is evidenced by the Fruit of the Spirit and a holy life.
