Our Beliefs

The Plymouth Brethren faith is built on the teachings of Scripture, the person of Jesus Christ, and the fellowship of believers.

What we believe.

The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church holds to Christian beliefs as taught in the Bible.

These beliefs shape how members worship, how they live, and how they relate to one another and to their neighbours. 

See our Statement of Belief below to find out how the Bible provides us with a roadmap for our lives. 

Fellowship is central to our faith.

We make a commitment to only eat and drink with those with whom we celebrate the Lord’s Supper, also known as Holy Communion. We celebrate the Lord’s Supper every Sunday in small groups, and this occasion of fellowship is our commitment to one another to live a life in line with Holy scripture. 

Fellowship with our Community does not mean we isolate ourselves from the world. We live and work harmoniously alongside all. 

We believe in the teachings of the Bible.

Our Community is united in our shared Christian belief founded on the Holy Bible.

For our members, the Holy Bible is an essential companion and authoritative guide throughout life. From the earliest age, young members are read and taught the Bible stories that have inspired millions down through the ages.
