Harefield is an independent church

We try to base our church life as closely as possible to the pattern which is laid down in the New Testament.  We are an independent church which aims at being non-denominational.

We happily receive true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.  We feel free ourselves to have fellowship with other churches whose constitution may differ from our own, but who own Jesus Christ as God and Lord. 

Harefield is a member of EA and TFTK

Harefield is a member of the Evangelical Alliance and Together for the Kingdom, TFTK is a fellowship of various congregations of the Church in Harlow.

As a member of the Evangelical Alliance we fully agree with their Basis of Faith

This is a short statement of our beliefs and faith

• Our faith and worship is centred upon the person of Jesus Christ.  We recognise the Bible’s testimony regarding His life and teachings, His death, and His rising from the dead, to be a true and authoritative account.

• We acknowledge that every individual has a need for forgiveness by God in order to enter into a relationship with Him.  The means for that forgiveness has been provided by God himself

• We believe that in sending His own Son to die on a cross, God took upon Himself the penalty for the moral failure of humanity. Because of Jesus, the way is now open for anyone to approach God and to know His acceptance, love and forgiveness.

• We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer and empowers them through gifts and fruit to live a Spirit-filled life and spread the good news of Jesus.

• We are confident in the power of God to restore meaning and purpose to human existence, and to give a reliable hope for the future – even beyond death.
