Foundation In Christ
Our Foundation
The foundation that unites all Christian clubs is the commitment to Christ Jesus and the authority of the divinely inspired scriptures that testify to his life and work in the world as Lord of the universe.
Our life and our salvation come from the Gospel. The good news is that Jesus is the Christ, the saviour of our souls, today, tomorrow and forevermore. YC is devoted to promoting the one true Gospel, and all aspects of our new life in Christ should naturally be reconciled to the truth through the Spirit of truth.
No organization can join YorkChristian without agreeing to the core YC doctrinal foundations
“5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.” John 4:5-6

Romans 3:23-25
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—
(NIV)

Romans 12:1-2
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
(NIV)
