Our Doctrine and Beliefs

Calvary Baptist Church is in agreement with the Baptist Faith & Message.

GOD: We believe there is only one true God. He exist in three separate, but equal, parts – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The triune God has always existed and is the creator and sustainer of all things. He alone is worthy of our worship, praise, and obedience.

JESUS CHRIST:   We believe that Jesus Christ is God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and gave His life on the cross to pay the debt that sin required. We believe after His death, He was buried and then He bodily arose and ascended to the right hand of the Father. One day He will literally return to earth in His glory and power to rapture His bride, the church.

HOLY SPIRIT: We believe the Holy Spirit is God. The Holy Spirit is co-equal and co-existent with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is the one that convicts us of sin as well as helps us with regeneration and sanctification. The Holy Spirit lives inside every believer and empowers us to live a godly life.

SALVATION:   We believe salvation is a free gift of God’s grace through faith in Christ’s atoning death and His resurrection. Man’s works have no part in salvation as it is through Christ alone.

THE CHURCH:   We believe the church is the body of Christ and family of God. It is made up of saved and baptized believers who regularly join together for worship, fellowship, and ministry.
