At Grace Bible Church we are committed to the study of the Bible. It is within the pages of God's Word that we find the truth about man's origin, nature, purpose, and destiny. While the traditional creeds and confessions of faith are helpful, we turn to Scripture alone for answers to questions of faith (orthodoxy) and practice (orthopraxy).
Below is an outline of what we believe at Grace Bible Church:

We believe in the verbal and plenary inspiration of the Scriptures, consisting of 66 books which constitute the Old and New Testaments,
the Word of God, inerrant in the original writings, the complete and unalterable special revelation of God, and our final authority.
We believe in the normal, literal, and consistent interpretation of the Scriptures; and a dispensational understanding of God's progressive
revelation (Matthew 5:18; John 16:12,13;
2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20,21).
2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20,21).
a. We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - co-eternal in Being, co-identical
in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections (Deuteronomy 6:4; 2 Corinthians 13:14).
b. We believe God is spirit, from everlasting to everlasting the same, the direct creator of all things, omnipotent, omniscient, and
omnipresent (John 4:24; Luke 24:39; Psalm 90:2; Malachi 3:6; James 1:17; Isaiah 44:24; Revelation 19:6; 1 John 3:20; Psalm 147:5;
Psalm 139:7-10; Jeremiah 23:4; John 1:3; Exodus 20:8-11; Genesis 1:1; Colossians 1:16-17).
a. We believe the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy
Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and lived a sinless life. He came that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man (Luke 1:35;
John 1:1,2,14,18).
b. We believe the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative,
vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice in providing an unlimited atonement for the sins of the whole world and our justification is
verified by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (Romans 3:24,25; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9;
1 Peter 1:3-5; :24; 1 John
2:2).
c. We believe the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God where, as our High Priest,
He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Acts 1:9,10; Romans 8:34; Hebrews 9:24; 7:25; 1 John 2:1,2).
The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
a. We believe the Holy Spirit is the person of the Godhead Who in this present age convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment;
Who regenerates and baptizes into the body of Christ those who believe; and Who indwells and seals them unto the day of redemption
(John 16:8-11; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; 2 Corinthians 3:6; Ephesians 1:13,14).
b. We believe the Holy Spirit is the
Divine Teacher Who guides believers into all truth and it is the privilege of believers to be filled with, and their duty to walk
in, the Holy Spirit (John 16:13; Galatians 5:16; Ephesians 5:18; 1 John 2:20, 27).
The Total Depravity of Man
We believe man was created in the image and likeness of God; in Adam's sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated
from God; and man is totally depraved and unable to remedy his lost condition (Genesis 1:26,27; Romans 3:22,23; 5:12; Ephesians 2:1-3,12).
Salvation and Security
a. We believe the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice
for all people and all who trust Him are saved by grace through faith on the ground of His shed blood, accepted in the Beloved, kept
by God's power, and thus secure in Christ forever (John 1:12; 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Romans 8:1,38,39;
1 Corinthians 1:4-8; Ephesians
1:7; 2:8-10; 1 Peter 1:5:18,19).
b. We believe every saved person possesses two natures, with provision made for victory of the new
nature over the old nature through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit, and all claims to the eradication of the old nature in
this life are unscriptural (Romans 6:13; 8:12,13; Galatians 5:16-25; Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 3:10; 1 Peter 1:14-16; 1 John 3:5-9).
c.We believe it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God's Word which,
however, clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh (Romans 13:13,14; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11-15;
1 Peter 2:13-20).
The Church
a. We believe the Church, which began with the baptizing work of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, is the body and bride of
Christ. It is the spiritual organism made up of all born-again persons of the present age (Acts 2:1-13,47; Ephesians 1:22,23;
5:25-27;
1 Corinthians 12:13-14; 2 Corinthians 11:2).
b. We believe the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly
taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures (Acts 14:27; 20:17,28-32; 1 Timothy 3:1-13;
Titus 1:5-11).
Ordinances
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ established two ordinances for the Church in this present age. These are believer's water baptism,
practiced by immersion; and the Lord's Supper, observed as a memorial of His death (1 Corinthians 11:23-34; Acts 8:12,25-29; 10:47,48;
1 Corinthians 1:14).
