BELIEFS THAT UNITE US

Statement of Faith

As part of the Bible Fellowship Church family, we are a community of believers united by a shared faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that He died on the cross to bear the penalty for our sins, was buried, and rose again, securing victory over sin and death. We place our trust in Him alone for forgiveness and salvation, affirming that both faith and forgiveness are gracious gifts from God, freely given to His people

We Believe

Learn more about our values and our story as a church by visiting the about us page.

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. As originally given, it is without error and is fully reliable in all matters of fact and doctrine.

We believe in the full deity and humanity of Jesus Christ—that He is fully God and fully man. We affirm His virgin birth, His sinless life, and His mighty works and miracles. We believe in His substitutionary death on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for our sins, His bodily resurrection from the dead, and His ascension to the right hand of the Father. We also believe in His personal return in power and glory.

One Church. One Mission. One Generation Rising.
