What we Believe as a Church

Firmly rooted in scripture, the beliefs of PCC guide our decisions as a church.
God is great: He is all powerful, all knowing, ever present, unchanging, completely worthy of our trust, and above all, Holy. It is in Him that we live, move and exist. God is good. He is our Father. He is loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises.
