Our History
Matthew 16:18 “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it’’
The Church of Christ at Edmonton, UK is a branch of the universal Church of Christ which Jesus Christ our Lord established and is recorded in Acts of the Apostles. The Church of Christ at Edmonton belongs to Christ and it was through the efforts of about 5 families who used to worship at Kings Cross Church of Christ that helped to launch the Church in 2001 at Edmonton. The Lord has blessed the Church in various ways and from a humble beginning; the spirit of the Lord has been with His Church both spiritually and numerically. Today the congregation has approximately 80 Adults and 50 Children and we continue to see growth in all areas of the Church.
In the salvation of man's soul, there are 2 necessary parts: God's part and man's part. God's part is the big part, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, that no man should glory" (Ephesians 2:8-9). The love which God felt for man led him to send Christ into the world to redeem man. The life and teaching of Jesus, the sacrifice on the cross, and the proclaiming of the gospel to men constitute God's part in salvation.
Though God's part is the big part, man's part is also necessary if a man is to reach heaven. Man must comply with the conditions of pardon which the Lord has announced. Man's part can clearly set forth in the following steps:
Hear the Gospel
"How shall they call on him whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe him whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?" (Romans 10:14).
Believe
"And without faith, it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him" (Hebrews 11:6).
Repent of past sins
"The times of ignorance, therefore, God overlooked; but now he commands men that they should all everywhere repent" (Acts 17:30).
Confess Jesus as Lord
"Behold here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, if thou believeth with all thy heart thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God" (Acts 8:36-37).
Be baptized for the remission of sins
"And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38).
Live a Christian life
"Ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that ye may show forth the excellency of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9).
