What we believe....
We believe the Bible is
the inspired Word of God, and is given to us to use as a
guide throughout life and circumstances. 2 Timothy 3: 16
We believe that God
created the heavens and the earth, and that man is created
in the image of God, but sin separated the entire human
race from a relationship with God. Genesis 1:1, 3: 1-24
We believe that Jesus
is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, lived on this
earth in human form, and voluntarily sacrificed His life on
the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, in order that we
might re-establish a relationship with God.
We believe that Christ
died for our sins, that He was buried and that He was
raised on the third day according to the scriptures, and
that He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right
hand of God, as our great High Priest and Intercessor.
Romans 12:2, I Corinthian 5:3-3, Hebrews 7:25
We believe the gospel
to be the Good News of Salvation through faith in Christ
alone. There is no other name under heaven given to man by
which he can be saved.
Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9-10, Ephesians 2: 8-95
We believe in the
indwelling Holy Spirit, sent by God to help man and to
intercede on our behalf. Acts 1:5
We believe Jesus will
return to this earth, first to gather all believers into
heaven, then as judge of all mankind, the unrighteous to
everlasting torment, the righteous to everlasting life in
heaven.
I Thessalonians 4:16-18
We believe in a
believer's baptism, as an outward sign of an inward change.
In following Christ's example, Grace Fellowship will
baptize by immersion, but will accept all who have been
baptized as believers. Matthew 3: 13-17, Mark 1: 9-11, Luke
3: 21-22, John 1: 31-34
We believe that
communion, known as the bread and cup are symbolic elements
of the blood and body of Christ. Communion will be observed
as a way of celebrating Christ, and as remembering what He
did for us.
Matthew 26:26-30, Mark 14: 22-26, Luke 22: 14-20, 1
Corinthians 11: 22-26
At Grace Fellowship, we
believe that offerings are between yourself and God
(2 Cor. 8:7), and for this reason do not pass collection
plates. Collection boxes are placed on the wall of the
Sanctuary near the entrances for your tithes and offerings.
We believe that God
gifts all believers to serve Him and to love others. We
desire to help people understand their gift and to release
them to do what God is calling them to do.
