OUR BELIEF

 

“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

 

We believe the Good News of the Bible, that God loves everyone without exception. This is what motivates us in our love and support for young people. SVST holds to the statement of faith as laid out by the Evangelical Alliance UK.
