WHAT WE BELIEVE - THE CROSS CHURCH

Introduction

Welcome to the Grace Baptist Church, a place rooted in faith and dedicated to fostering a sense of community and belonging. We hold firm to our beliefs and values, and aim to live them out through love, compassion, and service. Our church family is diverse and inclusive, and we invite you to join us on this journey of faith.

Our Core Values

At Grace Baptist Church, we believe in:

1. The Authority of the Bible

We firmly believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and serves as the ultimate authority in our lives. It guides our beliefs, decisions, and actions.

2. Salvation through Jesus Christ

We believe that salvation is found only through faith in Jesus Christ. Through His death on the cross and resurrection, we are given the opportunity to receive forgiveness and eternal life.

3. The Trinity

We believe in the Trinity – God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. They are distinct yet co-equal and work together in perfect unity.

4. The Church as the Body of Christ

We see the church as more than just a building. It is the unified body of Christ, composed of believers from all walks of life, united by our faith and love for God.

5. Worship and Prayer

We value worship as a way to connect with God, express our love, and seek His guidance. We believe in the power of prayer and encourage both personal and communal conversations with God.

6. Discipleship and Growth

We are committed to growing in our faith and becoming more like Christ. We believe in discipleship, teaching, and mentoring in order to equip and empower individuals for a life of service and discipleship.

7. Love and Compassion

We strive to love and serve others just as Jesus taught us. We believe in showing compassion, kindness, and mercy to all and seek to make a positive impact in our community.

Our Principles

At Grace Baptist Church, our principles guide our decisions and actions:

1. Faith in Action

We believe that faith should be active and alive. We encourage our members to live out their faith through practical acts of love and service.

2. Continuous Learning

We pursue a lifelong journey of learning and growing in our understanding of God's word. We offer various educational programs, Bible studies, and resources to foster spiritual growth.

3. Unity and Diversity

We celebrate diversity and believe that it enriches our community. We value unity and strive to create an inclusive space where people from different backgrounds and cultures can come together in worship and fellowship.

4. Family and Community

We place importance on building strong families and fostering a sense of community. We provide support, resources, and opportunities for fellowship to strengthen relationships and create a caring church family.
