Our Beliefs
Our foundational Beliefs Evangequip Missions Bible Fellowship Church, stand as a witness for Jesus Christ to the nations, and our teaching and preaching are rooted in the word of God. The Bible We believe the Holy Scriptures to be the verbal, inspired words of God, authoritative, and without error in the original manuscripts. (Deuteronomy 4:1-2; II Timothy 2:15, 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21) The Godhead We believe that there is but one true and living God, maker of heaven and earth and all that is in them.
We believe that in the unity of the Godhead, there are three, equal in every divine perfection, performing distinct but harmonious offices in the work of redemption. (Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; John 4:24; John 14:6-13; Galatians 4:6; 2 Peter 1:17; Psalm 2:7; Isaiah 7:14; John 1:1-18; Hebrews 1:8; Psalm 51:11; 1 John 4:13; Acts 5:3,4 ; Matt. 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14 John 6:27).
The Father Whose glory is so exceedingly bright that mortal man cannot look upon His face and live, but whose heart was so filled with love for His lost and sinful children that He freely gave His Son to redeem and reconcile them unto Himself. He is the origin of grace, the father of our LORD Jesus Christ, and the creator of all men as the origin of their being. We believe that the Father is the author of our salvation and that He sent His Son into the world solely for the redemption of sinners, Genesis 1:1; Exodus 33:20; John3:16; Job 38:4-7; Ephesian 3:14; Ephesian 4:6; Luke 12:30-32.
The Person & Work of the Lord Jesus Christ We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, came into the world that He might manifest God to men, fulfill prophecy, and become the Redeemer of a lost world. He was born of the Virgin Mary, received a human body and a sinless human nature without ceasing to be God. We believe He resurrected from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He had lived and died and that His resurrected body is the pattern of the body which ultimately will be given to all believers. (Hebrews 1:1-3, 4:14 15; John 1:1-3,14).
The Holy Spirit We believe that the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity, dwells in every believer immediately after they place their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and that God provides, through the Holy Spirit, power to live the Christian life. (Gen 1:2; Ps 139:7-9; John 14:16-17, 26; 16:7-14; Acts 1:8; 2:1-4, 38; 19:1-6; Romans 8:9-11, 14-16, 26-27; 1 Cor 2:10-14; 6:19; 12:3-13; Gal 4:6; Eph 1:13-14; 4:30; 5:18; 2 Tim 3:16; 1 John 4:13; 5:6-7; Rev 22:17.).
The Personality of Satan We believe that Satan, the devil, is the prince of demons and the declared adversary of God and man. However, when the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross, He limited the power of the devil and guaranteed the ultimate triumph of God. (Job 1:6-12; Mark 8:32) Salvation We believe that no one can enter the kingdom of God unless born again spiritually and that the new birth of the believer comes only through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
We believe, also, that our redemption has been accomplished by the grace of God, an unmerited gift given in love by God and not the result of any human works. We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ’s explicit message to those He has saved is to make Christ known to the whole world and that this is the purpose of the church through the individuals within it.
Our common spiritual goal is to grow toward Christ’s likeness. (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8; Romans 8:38-39; Isaiah 53:4-5; Isaiah 55:1; Hebrews 7:25; Romans 5:1-2) The Rapture and the Second Coming of Christ We believe that a future period of great tribulation on the earth will be climaxed by the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to the earth as He went in person in the clouds with power and great glory to establish His millennial kingdom. But before this tribulation, we believe there will be the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in the air to receive to Himself into Heaven both His own who are alive and remain until His coming and also all who have died in Jesus Christ. (Acts 1:11; 24:15; Matthew 13:49; 25:31-46) Believers Accountability We believe that all believers should seek to walk by the Holy Spirits’ leadership and that believers should separate themselves from the control of worldly practices.
We believe that we are all broken and wounded and in need of the healing power of Jesus Christ, and being aware of the confusion of opinions pertaining to human sexuality, the following statement defines our biblical understanding for sexual behavior: We believe in the Biblical compassion, love, and ministry to all sexually broken persons and the availability of God’s grace to all that repent (Luke 5:30-32; John 8:1-11; I Corinthians 6:11). We believe God’s gracious creation intent for both faithful, lifelong heterosexual unions for married persons and for committed celibate behavior for unmarried persons as the only Biblical options for human sexual conduct. All other sexual unions are clearly identified in Scripture as being sinful and destructive of persons (Genesis 1:27, 2:24; I Thess. 4:3-8; Heb. 13:4). The Church We believe the church is the community of all true believers for all time.
All those whom Christ died to redeem, all those who are saved by the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:1-8.; John 19:31-20:10. “Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her” (Ephesians 5:25). Jesus Christ, Himself, builds the church by calling His people to Himself (Matthew 16:18). We believe the purposes of the church are fellowship, worship, nurture, evangelism, equipment of the word, missions, and mercy.
Connection to Jesus
You can know God intimately and have a lifelong relationship with Him.
You are here for a purpose.
Right now, this day, you can know who God is and how to be reconnected with him and live out the rest of your life in the plan and purpose that He created you for.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
God the Father loves you so much that He sent His perfect Son to pay the debt that we owed. You can have everlasting life at no cost to you. Jesus was born of a virgin birth, lived a sinless life, was tempted in every way, yet never sinned. He was beaten, crucified, buried, and rose from the grave three days later to make way for us to reconnect with God. All we have to do is believe, repent, surrender our life to Jesus, and ask him to be our savior. Romans 10:9-10; John 3:16.
Make Jesus your Lord and Savior
Father God, I come to you today in Jesus’ name. I give you all my heart and all my life. Forgive and cleanse me of my sin, and give me everlasting life with you. Lord Jesus, I believe you died on the cross, was buried, and arose on the 3rd day alive just for me. Now, please fill me with your Holy Spirit. I thank you for saving me. I thank you for my home in heaven and for denying my presence in hell. Teach me your ways and help me to walk in them. In Jesus’s name, I pray. Amen.
