OUR STORY

Legacy Church has a rich history and legacy that we have the privilege to be a part of!

In 2006 Table View Assembly of God, with Senior Pastor’s, Graham and Jenny Evans, planted a campus in Milnerton at Milnerton High School. The name ‘Table View Assembly of God’ was changed to View Church Table View & View Church Milnerton. As things progressed and grew, View Church Milnerton was moved to The Paddocks Shopping Centre from 2011-2012, then to Lagoon Beach Hotel from 2012-2013. We spent a short stint at the Italian Club, then moved to Seamount Primary from 2013-2015.

In 2015 we were blown away by God’s provision and people’s generosity as we were able to purchase and move into our permanent home to the Milpark Building! Our journey as the “Gypsy Church” had come to an end and we were very grateful for a place to call ‘home’ … a place where we could now offer mid-week programmes, such as Youth, Junior Youth, Life Groups, Prayer Meetings and so much more!

In 2018 we started a journey
as View Church

Which included View Church Table View, Sunningdale, Milnerton & Tygerberg Hills, to become autonomous and function as fully independent churches, but still under the covering of the Assembly of God Group. This started us on a journey of re-envisioning our vision, values and mission and what to re-name our church. Legacy Church was birthed and we believe that we have benefitted from the sacrifice of many and now it is our time to leave a legacy .. for the sake of others!

OUR BELIEFS

STATEMENT OF BELIEFS

HOLY BIBLE

God’s passion for us moves us towards compassion for others.
We cannot grow in our love for God without growing in our love others.

JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory. (John 1:1,14, 20:28; I Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; Philippians 2:5-6; I Timothy 2:5).

REDEMPTION

Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression he fell; his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen. 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21).

SALVATION

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ: His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts (Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews 9:22).

SANCTIFICATION

Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God’s Word and His Spirit in order to complete the development of Christ’s character in us. It is through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life (I Thessalonians 4:3, 5:23; II Corinthians 3:18, 6:14-18, II Thessalonians 2:1-3, Romans 8:29, 12:1-2, Hebrews 2:11).

THE HOLY SPIRIT INDWELLS ALL BELIEVERS

Christians are people who have invited the Lord Jesus Christ to come and live inside them by His Holy Spirit. They relinquish the authority of their lives over to him thus making Jesus the Lord of their life as well as Saviour. The Holy Spirit is a friend and comforter who guides believers in the process of sanctification and convicts them of sin, while empowering believers to live a godly life of surrender to Jesus Christ (John 1:12; John 14:23; Romans 8:11; Revelation 3:20; John 14:26; John 16:7; Romans 5:15).

THE CHURCH

The church is the Body of Christ. Every person who is born of the Spirit (regeneration) is an integral part of the church as a member of the body of believers. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23; John 17:11, 20-23).

MARRIAGE

We believe marriage is defined in the Bible as a covenant; a sacred bond between one man and one woman, instituted by and publicly entered into before God (Matthew 19:4-6).

HEAVEN

Heaven is the eternal dwelling place for all believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:3, 12, 20, 6:20, 19:21, 25:34; John 17:24; II Corinthians 5:1; Hebrews 11:16; I Peter 1:4).

SECOND COMING

Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His Kingdom. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures (Matthew 24:30).

TRINITY

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and co-eternal (I John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-11).

VIRGIN BIRTH

Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father, through the Holy Spirit (the third person of the Trinity) in the virgin Mary’s womb; therefore, He is the Son of God (Matthew 1:18, 25; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:27-35).

REGENERATION

For anyone to know God, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (John 6:44, 65; Matthew 19:28; Titus 3:5). When we believe and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Holy Spirit makes our Spirit alive.

REPENTANCE

Repentance is the commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to follow Christ, which allows us to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Thus, through repentance, we receive forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:21, 3:19; I John 1:9).

JUSTIFICATION

The Blood that Jesus Christ shed on the Cross of Calvary was sinless and is 100% sufficient to cleanse mankind of all sin. Jesus allowed Himself to be punished for both our sinfulness and our sins, enabling all those who believe to be free from the penalty of sin, which is death (I John 1:7; Revelation 1:5, 5:9; Colossians 1:20; Romans 3:10-12, 23, 5:9; John 1:29).

THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of the Gospel. The Bible’s lists of these gifts are not necessarily exhaustive, and the gifts may occur in various combinations. All believers are commanded to earnestly desire the manifestation of the gifts in their lives.

These gifts always operate in harmony with the Scriptures and should never be used in violation of Biblical parameters. (Hebrews 2:4; Romans 1:11, 12 :4-8; Ephesians 4:16; I Timothy 4:14; II Timothy 1:6-7; I Corinthians 12:1-31, 14:1-40; I Peter 4:10).

SACRAMENTS

Water Baptism: Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. This is a public display of their decision to follow Jesus and symbolises the death of their old life and the spiritual life given to them through Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16; Acts 8:12, 36-38; 10:47-48).

The Lord’s Supper: A unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread and grape juice (the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross (Matthew 26:26-29; I Corinthians 10:16, 11:23-25).

RESURRECTION

Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead in a glorified body three days after His death on the cross. In addition, both the saved and the lost will be resurrected; they that are saved to the resurrection of life and they that are lost to the resurrection of eternal damnation (Luke 24:16, 36, 39; John 2:19-21, 20:26-28, 21:4; Acts 24:15; I Corinthians 15:42, 44; Philippians 1:21-23, 3:21).

HELL

After living one life on earth, the unbelievers will be judged by God for having accepted or rejected Him, and for the unrepentant sin committed throughout their lives. God will then honour their choices and send them to Hell where they will be eternally tormented with the Devil and the Fallen Angels (Matthew 25:41; Mark 9:43-48; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 14:9-11, 20:12-15, 21:8).
