Our Faith

Cornerstone Church Colchester is an Anglican church that is part of

We are seeking to be a loving community, growing in Jesus Christ, by Word and Spirit.

We believe that God created humankind for his glory. So, every human should live for God’s glory. But the reality is we have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. Therefore, we all deserve eternal punishment. Yet, in God's great mercy, He sent his only Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to provide a way to eternal life for sinners like us. Amazingly, this eternal life is a free gift to all who will trust in Christ as Lord and Saviour of their lives.

This is a bold statement, but we believe it to be true. Why not find out more?

As a church that is part of Anglican Mission in England:

We are part of a fellowship of churches devoted to sharing God’s Word with those around us.
Our conviction is that God transforms lives as the Bible is heard. We believe the Father works to make disciples of Jesus by changing hearts through the power of the Holy Spirit as Christians hold out the Scriptures.
Together with faithful Anglicans throughout the world, we believe the doctrinal foundation of Anglicanism found in the Bible. We are committed to the historic reformed faith revealed in the Bible and expressed in the ancient creeds, the 39 Articles of Religion, the Book of Common Prayer and the Ordinal. As an expression of this, we draw from the wealth of our Anglican tradition to shape our worship and ministry.
We hold to the 39 Articles, the Jerusalem Declaration, Doctrinal Distinctives, Lambeth 1.10, and The Nashville Statement.
We want men and women to flourish in the church, use their spiritual gifts, exercise leadership, and become disciple-making disciples.
