We Believe

Statements of Faith

At Family Life Church, we believe:

  • Triune Godhead - In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19)
  • The Bible - The scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man- the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:15-17; I Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).
  • Jesus, the Savior - That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived sinless, was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. He has ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor. (John 3:16, Matthew 1:18, 1 Peter 2:22, Matthew 27:35, Matthew 27:59-60, John 20:9, Acts 1:9, Acts 2:33, Romans 8:27)
  • Holy Spirit - We believe in the present ministry and gifts of the Holy Spirit to convict and convert, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and is the seal of our redemption. (1 Corinthians 12, Acts 1:4, Acts 1:8, Ephesians 1:13)
  • Sin - Sin has separated us all from God, and that only by grace through faith in Jesus Christ can we be reconciled to God. (Isaiah 59:2, Ephesians 2:8)
  • Baptism - In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 10:47-48, Romans 6:4)
  • Resurrection - The bodily resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17)
  • The Great Commission - That we are called to preach the Gospel and make disciples of all people, so that God is glorified in every tribe and language. (Matthew 10:7, Matthew 28:18-20)
  • Judgement - A final judgement of all works where whosoever is not found written in the Lambs Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels will be cast away into eternal punishment in the lake of fire. (Revelation 19:20, Revelation 20:10-15)
