Who We Are

At Brant Community Church, we believe the Bible is God’s Word, that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that life and salvation are found through repentance from sin and faith in Him. Regardless of your background, we invite you to learn who we are and what we believe.


Our commitment is to faithfully and clearly proclaim God’s truth. We believe Christianity is not merely a set of religious practices, but a transformed life that flows from reconciliation with God through Jesus Christ. The gospel speaks honestly to our sin and our need, and it offers forgiveness, new life, and lasting hope through Christ’s finished work.


God calls his people into the life of the local church. We believe the Christian life is meant to be lived in community, where believers gather to hear God’s Word preached, worship together, love one another, and grow in obedience to Christ. As a church family, we seek to live together in a way that reflects the grace we have received and the unity Christ has secured for his people.


Whether you are beginning to explore Christianity or are a committed follower of Jesus seeking to grow in faith, we believe God intends his people to belong to a local church. We would be glad for you to explore that with us and consider Brant Community Church your church home.

Statement of Faith

Our Beliefs

We believe that God has revealed himself clearly in the Scriptures. Our beliefs are grounded in the Bible and are summarized in our statement of faith.

  • The Bible

    The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God, the complete written revelation of His mind and will to humanity, and our infallible and all-sufficient guide for salvation and for the Christian life.

    2 Tim.3:16,17; 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Pet.1:19-21;

  • God

    There is one God revealed in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. These three have the same nature and are co-existent, co-equal and co-eternal, yet distinct in personality.

    Deut.6:4; Matt.28:19; John 1:18; Eph.4:6; Heb.9:14; 1 John 5:7;

  • Jesus Christ

    The Lord Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man, born of a virgin and sinlessly perfect. Because of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, He is the substitute for sinners and the one mediator who can bring about the reconciliation between a holy God and sinful humanity. He was buried, rose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven where he now ministers as the head of the Church.

    Matt.1:18-25; 2 Cor.5:18,19; 1 Peter 2:22,24; 3:18; 1 Tim.2:5,6; 1 Jn.2:1,2; Acts2:31,32; Lk.24:39; Heb.10:12

  • Humanity and the Fall

    We were originally created in the image and after the likeness of God but fell through sin. Therefore, the total depravity of our nature has been transmitted to the entire human race, and we are under God’s condemnation and eternal judgement. Satan exists as an evil personality, the originator of sin, the archenemy of God and humanity.

    Gen.3:1-19; Isaiah 14:12-15; Ez.28:1-19; 2 Cor.11:14; 1 Pet.5:8; Rev.12:9
    Gen.1:27; 3:6; Psalm 51:5; Rom.3:23; 5:12,19

  • Salvation

    Our salvation from eternal judgement is by grace, a gift of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone, apart from works of righteousness or self-effort. This involves our repentance and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

    Eph.2:8,9; Titus 3:5; Rom.10:9,10; John 3:3-8; Acts 3:19; 2 Pet.3:9

  • The Holy Spirit

    Each believer in the Lord Jesus Christ is indwelt and sealed by the Holy Spirit and is eternally secure in their salvation.

    Eph.1:13; 4:30; 1 Cor.6:19; Jn.10:28; 1 Jn.5:11-13; Heb.10:14

  • Future Things

    The Lord Jesus Christ will return personally and imminently to take His Church out of this world to be with Him.

    There will be a bodily resurrection of the dead. The believer will live with Christ forever; and the unbeliever will experience eternal, conscious punishment

    1 Thess.4:13-18; Acts 1:11; Titus 2:13
    John 5:29,30; Luke 12:47; 16:24; Rev.20:10-15

  • The Church

    The Church is comprised of Christians, all those who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour. The local church is the expression of the church universal and gathers primarily for communion, worship, prayer, fellowship, edification and evangelism.

    Eph.1:22,23; 4:15,16; Col.1:18; Acts 2:42; 1 Cor.12:12-27; Acts 11:26

  • Baptism and the Lord’s Supper

    We believe Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water into the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is a joyful duty and beautiful emblem that declares our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Saviour—and our union with Christ in death to sin and resurrection to new life.


    We likewise believe the Lord’s Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby Christians, following earnest self-examination, commemorate together the saving sacrifice of Christ and their communion with him and one another. Eating the bread and drinking the cup is in no sense a sacrifice but rather is designed to commemorate Christ’s dying love; to confirm the faith of his people; to remind them of the hope they have of feasting with Christ in the New Creation, and to renew their mutual bond. The ordinances belong to the gathered church, marking off believers from unbelievers and making the church visible on earth.


    Matthew 3:13–17; 26:26–29; 28:18–20; Acts 2:38–42; 8:36–38; 16:32–33; 20:7; Romans 6:4; 1 Corinthians 11:17–34; Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:11–12; 1 Peter 3:20–21
