The following five statements will help you understand what we believe. What is listed below is based upon the Bible, God’s Inspired Word and not our creed or our interpretation.  The following five statements are not meant to be the all-encompassing beliefs of every Christian. Our hope is that the following five statements will help you understand exactly what we believe at Concord Baptist Church.

The Bible is truth without mixture of error.
The Bible is the sole source of authority for us
as individuals and for us as a local church.
(John 17:17 / 2 Timothy 3:16 / 2 Peter 1:20-21)

God has always existed eternally as one God in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; The Trinity.
(Matthew 28:19 / John 1:14 / Acts 5:3-4 / 2 Corinthians 13:14 / Colossians 1:15-20 / Hebrews 1:1-3 / Revelation 1:4-6)

Jesus Christ, The Son, is the perfect revelation of God to mankind; fully God and fully man. He came to earth, lived
a sinless life, died on the cross as the substitute for our
sins. His resurrection from the grave is His victory over
sin and death. Jesus Christ ascended into heaven and
now sits at the right hand of the Father, at the throne of
God and He will come again.
(Matthew 1:18-2:12 / John 1:1-18 / Romans 3:21-26 / Philippians 2:5-11 / Colossians 1:15-23 / Hebrews 1:1-13 /
1 Peter 3:18 / 1 John 1:1-2:2 / Revelation 22:20)

God created male and female human beings in His perfect image (Adam and Eve being the first two). Because of their sin, all human beings are now sinners from birth, by nature and by choice. All need to be saved from the penalty of sin, which is death. Without Jesus as their mediator, human  beings are incapable of having a relationship with God.

(Genesis 1:26-31 / Romans 3:10-18 / Ephesians 2:1-3 / John 1,3)
 
All who trust in Jesus Christ alone as their Savior will receive forgiveness of their sin
and receive His free gift of everlasting life.
(John 3:16 / 6:35-40, 10:27-30 / Romans 8:28-39 / Philippians 1:6 / 2 Timothy 2:13 / 1 Peter 1:3-9 / 1 John 5:11-13)

Additionally, the Holy Spirit permanently indwells all
believers at the time of their salvation and guides them
to a mature faith in Jesus Christ. This gift of the Holy Spirit
 is given to comfort, assure and encourage believers in their walk with Jesus.
(John 14:15-26 / Acts 2:1-33 / Romans 8:1-27 / Galatians 5:16-23 / 1 John 2:20-27)
