The Friendly Church

We Believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired, and is a treasure of heavenly instruction; that it has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth that is the true center of Christian union.

 

We Believe the scriptures teach that there is one, and only one, living and true God. In the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; each of them equal in every divine perfection.

 

We Believe Christ secured justification for each believer through his death of the cross, bodily resurrection and ascension to heaven to sit at the right hand of his Father.

 

We Believe that the scriptures teach the blessings of salvation is made free to all by the Gospel; whereby salvation through Christ is received through individual belief and confession. Nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth, but his own determined depravity and voluntary rejection of the Gospel.

 

We Believe the deity of Jesus Christ, who is the incarnation of the Father, and He is the Son of God who was born of a virgin.

 

We Believe the Divine personhood of the Holy Spirit and His present day ministry to believers, which includes the sovereign distribution of spiritual gifts to believers for the empowerment of Christ.

 

We Believe in the substitutionary atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, that He, by the grace of God tasted death for every man. Because of this, all humankind must be born again through Jesus or they will be forever lost to hell and damnation. Redemption through Christ occurred on the cross by the shedding of His blood. The grace that we receive is through faith, believing that god raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Furthermore, We believe that he was victorious over satan, death, hell and the grave.

 

We Believe in the physical resurrection of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and that His body ascended into heaven and is now at the right hand of the Father as our Mediator, High Priest, moreover, advocate.

 

We Believe in water baptism and the Holy Communion as the ordinances of the church. To be observed as public declaration of salvation through Jesus Christ by commemorating his death, burial and resurrection.

 

We Believe in the personal, visible, and imminent return of Jesus Christ both for His saints and with His saints to reign in victory.

​

We Believe in the authority of the believer over the enemy satan and the victory to be gained by the believer through the exercise of authority in the area of deliverance, healing and holiness.

 

We Believe that satan is the enemy of the kingdom of God. His sole purpose is to try to defeat the lives of spirited-filled believers.
