At St. Grace Church, We Believe:
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God.
[Matthew 24:35, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:3-4].
- We believe that there is one God, who is revealed to Christians in three persons.
[John 1:1-4 & 14, Romans 8:9, 2 Corinthians 13:14].
- We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus, in His death, burial, and bodily resurrection, and in His complete deity and humanity; that He is fully God and fully human incarnate.
[Romans 1:3- 4, John 1:1-14, I Timothy 3:16].
- We believe that the atoning sacrifice of Christ has made possible the salvation of all humanity, by grace, through faith, and that a Christian stands and lives by the faith of the Son of God.
[Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5, Galatians 2:16, Hebrews 9:12].
- We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
[Mark 16:20, I Corinthians 12:7-11].
- We believe in the Holy Spirit's appearance in and through the Body of Christ, and Her imminent physical return.
[Revelation 20:11-15, I Corinthians 15:13-17, John 14:20 & 23, and 2 Peter 1:4].
- We believe that God was in Christ reconciling the whole world to Godself and that in Christ the ministry of reconciliation has been given.
[John 3:16-17, 2 Corinthians 5:18-21].
- We believe in the bodily resurrection and righteous judgment of all humanity. [Acts 26:8, Revelation 20:11-15].
- We believe that for issues that are not specifically addressed in the scriptures, we should seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the testimony of the Word of God for instructions.
[Romans 14:4-5, Philippians 2:12].
- We believe in water baptism as an act of obedience to the Word of God. [Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16]
