Our Core Beliefs  
  Recognizing that the Bible is the very Word of God to mankind, and understanding the priority of knowing and obeying it's truths, we are deeply committed to studying and teaching the Scriptures with diligence and clarity.

The content on this page represents our convictions regarding theological truths of the Bible. These are the primary doctrines of the Christian faith and they reflect the heart of the teaching at Faith Bible Fellowship. Though as a congregation we are characterized by diversity in age and background, it is the truths from which these confessions are drawn that afford us unity of faith.

We Confess . . .

  • That the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the verbally inspired Word of God, inerrant in the original writings, and the only infallible rule of faith and practice.

  • That there is one God, creator and sustainer of the universe, who eternally exists in three co-equal persons, the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  • Our belief in the Lord Jesus Christ, who being fully God became fully man, being conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of a virgin.

  • Our belief in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, who glorifies Christ, convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and equips and empowers believers for a life of holiness and fruitful service.

  • That mankind was created in the image of God, that in Adam all sinned and are guilty before God, that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and as a result, not only suffer the consequences of the fall, but are under the condemnation of God.

  • That the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and subsitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him alone for salvation are justified on the basis of His shed blood.

  • Our belief in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, His ascension into heaven, and His present ministry as High Priest and Advocate on our behalf.

  • Our belief in the blessed hope, which is the personal, visible, and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

  • That all who repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior are delivered from the judgment of God, are born again by the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God and heirs of eternal life.

  • Our belief in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting conscious suffering of the lost in hell, and the everlasting blessedness of believers in the presence of Christ.

  • Our belief in the existence of a personal devil, who is still working in the world to destroy the souls of men, and that he and all his angels will suffer eternal punishment in the lake of fire, along with all who do not receive Jesus Christ as their Savior.

  • That the Church, the Body of Christ, exists to glorify God as it fulfills Christ's mission to make disciples of all nations and equip them for meaningful ministry, spiritual duplication, and dynamic Christian witness.

  • That the ordinances of the Church, given by our Lord, are Baptism and Communion.

  • That the foregoing confessions represent the core of Christian doctrine; therefore we stand firm upon this Confession of Faith.

 

 
     
  Who Are We?  
  We are a community of believers who seek to glorify God as we assemble ourselves for the purposes of worship, discipleship, fellowship, and prayer; so that we may grow in our relationship with God, provide encouragement and care for one another, and in turn, provide a credible witness of Jesus Christ in the world.

  In our practices we seek to pattern ourselves after New Testament models and precepts.  Our pursuit is a biblical ministry, as opposed to one which is merely pragmatic or traditional.
