East to West


 What do we believe?
 
  east to west believes in:
    • The Hope found in the God in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

    • The Hope found in the one God who is sovereign in creation, revelation, redemption and final judgement.

    • The Hope found in the Bible that is the inspired and infallible Word of God.

    • The Hope found in Jesus Christ who is God’s incarnate Son
    • The Hope found in Jesus Christ for the atonement and pardoning of sins and for the restoration of relationships.

    • The Hope found and the freedom there is in Jesus Christ.

    • The Hope found in the Holy Spirit who makes the work of Christ effective in all of creation.

    • The Hope found in the Holy Spirit who makes individuals and communities increasingly Christ-like in character and behaviour.

    • The Hope found in the one, holy, universal and apostolic church that is the Body of Christ, to which all true believers belong and is the physical representation of Christ’s Kingdom on earth.

    • The Hope found in the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

      In light of our ‘ethos’ and ‘statement of faith’ our attitude and motivation comes only from a faith in Jesus Christ. It therefore becomes a genuine occupational requirement that our paid team are committed Christians. Each member of our paid team occupy a significant position of leadership within their projects and directly influence the direction of those projects through the fulfilment of the mission statement and ethos of the Trust. Therefore all paid posts with in the Trust will always be held by committed Christians. There are other roles that have key spiritual elements to them that can only be carried out by a committed Christian. It is also essential that these attitudes and behaviours continue, and so we expect all our staff to act in good faith and with loyalty to that relational ethos and to Christian standards of traditional biblical behaviour.

      Notwithstanding this, the organisation is committed to diversity amongst its staff, and volunteers and will not discriminate on other grounds that are unrelated to our ethos. We believe that defining our occupational requirements does not restrict, but actually enhances our commitment to diversity.
