Humble Beginnings

In a front room somewhere in Luton, a small group of Christians friends gather together at the end of the week to talk about their work, their week, their families, the problems they faced and the breakthroughs the Lord ordained in their lives. Rest assured there was always music playing in the background, and something hot and tasty available to eat from the kitchen. Through these meetings the friends grew socially and spiritually, finding inner strength, encouragement and enjoying much laughter together.

The Christian Professional Network exists to extend the same socialising and network opportunities to you and a wider Christian audience. Just as the friends are diverse in colour, culture, age and denomination, so too is the CPN. Our goal is simply to bring Christians together in a relaxed environment, where you can talk, have fun, eat, chill out and enjoy the company of like minded people.

We hope you will join us next time!

Our Belief

We believe in the Holy Trinity, the Father, eternally existing, who is a Spirit, a Being of supreme Holiness, righteousness, knowledge, love, justice, power and authority. He, is the Creator of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them. He is the Source of life and the One for whom human life exists. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who is the Word and has eternally existed. We believe that He is the Messiah, the Christ, the divine Son of the living God, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born in the human flesh of the Virgin Mary. We believe that it is by Him that God created all things and that without Him was not anything made that was made. We believe in the Holy Spirit, as the Spirit of God and of Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the power of God and the Spirit of life eternal.

We believe that Scripture, both the Old and the New Testament, is God's revelation, and His complete, expressed will to humanity. Scripture is inspired in thought and word, infallible in the original writings, is the supreme and final authority in faith and in life, and is the foundation of all truth.

We believe God so loved this world that He gave His only begotten Son, who, though in all points tempted as we are, lived without sin in the human flesh. That Son, Jesus Christ, died as a sacrifice for the sins of humanity. His death is, therefore, sufficient to pay the penalty for every human being's sins. In paying this penalty He has made it possible, according to God's plan, for each person and humanity as a whole to have their sins forgiven and to be released from the death penalty.

We believe that the Father raised Jesus Christ from the dead after His body lay three days and three nights in the grave, thus making immortality possible for mortal man. He thereafter ascended into heaven, where He now sits at the right hand of God the Father as our High Priest and Advocate.

We believe that all who truly repent of their sins in full surrender and willing obedience to God, and who by faith accept Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour, have their sins forgiven by an act of divine grace. Such individuals are justified, pardoned from the penalty of sin, and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, which literally abides within them and supplies the divine love that alone can fulfil the law and produce righteousness. They are baptised by the Spirit into the body of Christ, which is the true Church of God. We believe in a true change in life and attitude. Only those who have the indwelling presence of and are being led by the Holy Spirit are Christ's.

We believe in the ordinance of water baptism by immersion following repentance. Through the laying on of hands, with prayer, the believer receives the Holy Spirit and becomes a part of the spiritual body of Jesus Christ.
