The Core Tenets of Our Faith
The Anglican Diocese of Ikeduru is built upon the timeless principles of Christianity, which guide our worship, relationships, and mission:
- Faith in the Triune God
We believe in one God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This belief is the cornerstone of our faith, grounding our understanding of God’s love, grace, and power. Our worship and daily lives are a reflection of our unwavering trust in God’s presence and providence. - The Authority of the Scriptures
The Bible is the ultimate guide for our beliefs and actions. We are committed to studying and living by the Word of God, which shapes our understanding of morality, love, justice, and salvation. Through Scripture, we receive the wisdom and guidance necessary to navigate the challenges of life and fulfill our divine purpose. - Salvation Through Jesus Christ
Salvation is offered to us through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is by grace alone, through faith, that we are redeemed. Our faith in Christ empowers us to live transformed lives, marked by holiness, service, and a readiness to share the good news of salvation with others. - The Call to Holiness
We believe that all Christians are called to live holy lives, set apart for God’s purpose. Holiness is not just about personal purity but also about embodying love, compassion, and justice in our interactions with others. As followers of Christ, we strive to live in a way that reflects His character, bringing light to the world around us. - Readiness for the Coming of Christ
As a church, we are committed to living in constant anticipation of Christ’s return. We believe that Jesus will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and we strive to be rapture-ready—living in such a way that we are always prepared for His coming. This readiness is rooted in righteousness, faith, and a heart of worship.
