What We Believe

At Family Church, we believe:

• The Bible is God’s inspired Word.
• In one God eternally existing in three persons: namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
• Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the intercessor, mediator and High Priest of our salvation.
• All have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for the forgiveness of sins.
• Justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought through faith in the atoning Blood of Jesus Christ.
• Sanctification is both an instantaneous and progressive work of the Holy Spirit.
• A holy lifestyle is God’s standard of living for His people.
• Believers should be baptized with the Holy Spirit for the purpose of empowerment.
• Speaking in tongues is the privilege of every believer, whereby he or she communes and fellowships with God in a language made known by God.
• Water baptism by immersion is required for all who repent of their sins and follow Christ.
• Healing is provided in God’s redemptive work.
• The Lord’s Supper, Communion, is partaking of the life of God and is required of all who repent of their sins and follow Christ.
• Jesus Christ will come again, taking all believers, living and dead, unto Himself, giving them an eternal reward.
• There will be eternal life for the righteous, eternal punishment for the wicked.
