About Us

We believe in one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We praise God the Father: Who created the universe and keeps it in being. He has made us His sons and daughters, through faith, grace and repentance. How great is the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are (1 John 3.1).

We proclaim Jesus Christ, God the Son: Born by the power of the Holy Spirit, He laid aside His Majesty, came to dwell on earth, sharing our life and death. By His death on the cross and by His resurrection, He has triumphed over sin and death. Jesus is Lord of life and of all creation. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were created. Without Him nothing was created that has been created (John 1:1+3).

We trust God the Holy Spirit: Who unites us to Christ and gives life to the Church; Who brings us to repentance and assures us of forgiveness. The Spirit guides us in our understanding of the Bible and calls us to serve God in the world. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth (Acts 8.1).

We rejoice in the gift of eternal life: We have sure and certain hope of resurrection through Christ, and we look for His coming again to judge the world. Then all things will be made new and creation will rejoice in worshipping the Father, through the Son, in the power of the Spirit, one God, blessed for ever. Amen. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3.16).

Renfrew Trinity is a parish church of the Church of Scotland. The following creedal statement was approved by the General Assembly of 1992.

The Church of Scotland believes in God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit and proclaims Jesus Christ crucified, risen and glorified.

Our standards of belief are to be found in the Old and New Testament and in the Church’s historic Confession of Faith. 

“I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; he descended into hell."

“The third day he rose again from the dead, he ascended into Heaven, and sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead."
