What is Imparting Grace Services

Imparting Grace Services (IGS), is the biblical counselling ministry of Faith Presbyterian Church. The elders of Faith Church, and IGS staff prayerfully joyfully offer themselves to serve Jesus to help those in need through biblical counselling. IGS believes the Word of God is sufficient to help people both outside and inside the church, and that God can use IGS to impart the grace of Jesus’s life changing gospel to people (Eph 4:29).

In biblical counselling the counsellor helps people in need offering God’s truth from Scripture. The goal of biblical counselling is to help people hear the forgiveness of Christ, give hope in life, and help restore them to living a life of love and fellowship with God and other people – all to the glory of God. Our trained and qualified biblical counsellors, using the sufficient Word of God, will provide compassionate care.

As a ministry of Faith Presbyterian Church [hyperlink here] we hold the inerrancy and infallibility of scripture. We subscribe to the teaching of Scripture as summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith and Larger and Shorter Catechisms.

The divine inspiration and infallibility of the Holy Scriptures as the Word of God contained in the Old and New Testaments. 

One living and true God – God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. These three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and in glory. 

The deity of Jesus, the Christ. Though Jesus of Nazareth was in His human nature born of a virgin, He in His person was the Divine Son of God. He is therefore God and Man in two distinct natures in one divine person forever. 

The sinful nature and estate of man. Man is a sinner transgressing God’s law, and in rebellion of God’s authority. He is under the wrath and curse of God, condemned by his just judgment. He is therefore in a lost condition unable to save himself. 

Salvation and forgiveness of man only in Christ, who by His death on the cross paid the penalty of our sin in full and who by His resurrection is victorious over death and the grave. 

Salvation by grace, only through the merit and righteousness of Christ, which is put to our account and received by faith alone. 

The Church as the Body of Christ of which all true believers in Christ are a part, dwelling together in unity of the spirit and in the bond of Christian love. 

Christ as the King and Head of all the church abiding in Him; we are in the true apostolic succession of the Christian Faith. Christ Himself will provide His church with necessary gifts and fullness needed for this day.
