Faith Christian Church

  Statement Of Faith 

We wrote and compiled this statement many years ago, when organizing our first church charter in 1975.  The following were our true convictions then and represent our deepest beliefs to this day. We are convinced by the necessity of what Paul wrote to Timothy:

” If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, you shall be a good servant of Jesus Christ, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following.”  (I Timothy 4:6)

 The Bible 

We believe the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, to be the only infallible, inerrant Word of God; the complete revelation of God’s will for the eternal salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.   2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21

 God 

We believe in one God, Creator of all things, and manifested as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.      2 Corinthians 13:14

 Jesus Christ 

We believe that Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and having entered history as the Son of God from eternity past.  He was and is the Living Word of God, Creator and Sustainer of all things, the self-expressed Image of God’s Person.  He lived a sinless life upon earth possessing in His Person a complete human nature and the Devine nature, thereby fully qualifying as the sacrificial Lamb of God in atonement for the sins of the world and becoming the perfect Mediator of the New Covenant of Salvation.  In accomplishing this work He was crucified and died upon the cross of Calvary, was buried, resurrected bodily on the third day after His death, was seen of men and ascended to the right hand of the Father where He serves as the Advocate and High Priest for the heirs of salvation and from where He will personally return in bodily form to the earth in glorious power and dominion as King of Kings and Supreme Judge, to rule upon the earth.   John 1:1-3, 1 Timothy 2:6, Hebrews 1:1-3, Acts 1:1-11

 Man 

Man was created in the image of God with the destiny to rule creation under the authority of and in fellowship with God.  He rebelled and was contaminated with a sinful nature becoming lost under Satan’s dominion without ability to re-establish communion with God except by means of Divine intervention through the work of atonement and restoration in Jesus Christ.   Romans 3:23, Ephesians 2:12

 Salvation 

We believe that fellowship with God is possible only through salvation from sin by the work of regeneration in the operation of the blood of Jesus Christ and that by God’s grace, alone, through faith in Christ may man receive ultimate redemption.   Romans 3:23-25

 Water Baptism 

We believe that baptism by full immersion in water through the name of the Lord Jesus Christ identifies us with His death, burial, and resurrection and that we should arise to walk in newness of life and holiness, separated from worldly lust and sinful living.  Romans 6:1-18

 Baptism In The Holy Spirit 

We believe in the baptism in and the present day ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whom, the follower of Jesus Christ is empowered to live for and give testimony to the glory of God through a victorious and holy life resulting in the administration of miraculous gifts and ministries by the Holy Spirit.   Acts 2:1-4, 1 Corinthians 12:4-11

 Healing & Deliverance 

We believe that Devine healing, Devine heath and deliverance from evil spirits and bondage is provided for us by God in the work of the Atonement and obtained by faith in the power of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.   Luke 10:19, Mark 16:17-18, James 5:14-16, 1 Peter 2:24

 Resurrection 

We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the redeemed to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord: the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting punishment.   1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 20:11-15
