For the last 2000 years there have been many different ideas about Jesus, who he is and his place in history. People have referred to him as a great teacher, an important religious leader, a prophet, while others even claim he never existed.
But we believe that Jesus is the eternal Son of God who became a man (that is, He was truly both God and man). He was born into this world just over 2000 years ago to deal with the world’s greatest problem – sin, which is the cause of the broken relationship that exists between God and man. Jesus came to make it possible for people to have a restored relationship with God.
Jesus Christ lived a perfect life of obedience to God. He died on a cross to pay the penalty for sin, rose from the dead, ascended into heaven and will come back to earth one day to judge the world. On that great day he will take to himself those who have believed in him as the only way to be made right with God.
As people who believe in Jesus Christ, Kerang and Swan Hill Presbyterian Churches are congregations of the Presbyterian Church of Australia (PCA) within the State of Victoria. We are a protestant Christian denomination. We are evangelical in practice, reformed in theology, Presbyterian in governance and mission minded. We hold certain essentials of the Christian faith in common with all true believers in Jesus Christ. These essentials are expressed in the Apostles’ Creed, but as a member of the PCA, the full statement of our faith is contained in the Westminster Confession of Faith. For the purposes of unity and clarity, the confession is a good summary of what the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament teach.
We are two congregations but one community under Jesus Christ.
As a church we make time to meet during the week for any number of reasons. This may be to socialize, study the Bible, or engage in intentional mission.
If you would like to know when we are meeting, either to study the Bible or to simply be together, please contact us.
As a congregation of God’s people, it is important that we have godly leaders and shepherds to care for us. As a Presbyterian church we are ruled by Elders who lead by example and by praying for, teaching, governing, and disciplining members.
At present we do not have a teaching elder (Pastor) to preach each week for us, but we are well fed from God’s word by regular preaching from gifted preachers and retired Pastors.
