The Barn Christian Fellowship Constitution

Constitution

1/ The Church is Known as "The Barn Christian Fellowship"
2/ The Barn ' is a Non Denominational Church.

3/ Our statement of Faith is based on that of 'The Evangelical Alliance'

Of which we are a Member

4/ We have close association with an Interdenominational group of     Pembrokeshire Churches

5/ We are of a Protestant persuasion, and whilst not aligned to any   particular denomination we believe that we have a unity in Jesus Christ   with all who acknowledge Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.

6/ We consider Believers Baptism by total immersion to be an important   expression of Faith in Jesus Christ.
  Whilst not insisted upon for those in fellowship with us we would openly   encourage all such to consider seriously the Scriptural claims regarding   Believers baptism.

  An opportunity for study of the same is available for all who request it.

7/ As a basic grounding in the Christian Faith we use the 'ALPHA' course and   encourage all who join with us to attend one of these courses

        We as a fellowship do not have a formal membership:-

A/ As new People meet with us we would be pleased to arrange a convenient   opportunity for someone to visit them to share our vision as a fellowship,   and hopefully allow an opportunity for them to share a little about   themselves with us.

B/ All who acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and express a wish   to be an active part of this fellowship, if they agree with our statement   of faith, are welcome to join with us at church business meetings and take   part in discussions. But would be expected to give testimony to their faith   in Jesus Christ when asked. Voting on any issue is restricted until   attendance has been regular for six months.

We accept the sovereignty and grace of one triune God;
God the father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit in creation, Providence, Revelation, Redemption, and final judgement.
