Welcome. It’s great to have you visit the Redlands Presbyterian online. As you get to know, you will find that we are a warm Christian fellowship with people coming from right across the Redlands and beyond. We are committed to making known the good news of Jesus Christ and His Claim on our lives, encouraging and supporting each other to grow as his followers.
We’d love you to come and visit us. Join us at one of our church services. Please find out more about them here (Sunday Services). You may also want to have a look at some of the ministries operating in our church (Ministries). If you need any other information, please feel free to contact us.
Our Denomination: The Presbyterian Church of Australia The Presbyterian Church of Australia (PCA) is the national Presbyterian Church. We hold strongly to the Bible as the rule of faith and life. As a church, we have a passion for God and a passion for people. This means that in all that we do we seek to bring glory to God. It also means that we are dedicated to proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are lost, both here in Australia and elsewhere. In doing so, we remain firmly committed to the Reformed faith as the most consistent presentation and outworking of Biblical Christianity.
We believe that the Bible is God's word. It has been fully inspired by God the Holy Spirit and contains all that people need to know for salvation and to rightly understand the world – God’s world - in which they live. By its very nature the Bible is infallible, and forms a perfect rule for both faith and life. We believe that as God's people we need to be immersed in the Bible to understand how to live for God in this world.
The best summary of what we believe the Scriptures teach is found in the Westminster Confession of Faith, one of the several great summaries of doctrine that emerged out of the Protestant Reformation in the 16th and 17th centuries. Key elements in this Confession are the sovereignty of God in creation, providence and redemption, the centrality of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in God’s purposes, and the necessity of the Holy Spirit in the application of all aspects of salvation. It also highlights the nature and purpose of the Church, and the need to acknowledge the Lordship of Christ in every area of life.
