Fresh Start Community Church | Doctrine

1. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the only infallible authority in all matters of faith and practice.

​

2. We believe in one God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit

​

3. We believe in the complete humanity and deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, victorious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, boldily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father, and future personal return in power and glory.

​

4. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells and empowers all believers and enables them to live a godly life.

​

5. We believe that through Adam's sin all have inherited a sinful nature and therefore all choose to sin. Thus all are sinners and deserving of death.

​

6. We believe that the salvation of lost and singul man is only by the grace of God through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone, accomplished through the regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

7. We believe that our sins block our fellowship with God. As we confess those sins, God forgives us and our fellowship is restored.

​

8. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the judgment of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost.

​

9. We believe that saving faith in Jesus Christ unites all Christians as members of the body of Christ. Such a position brings both privileges and responsibilities before God and toward one another in the Christian life.

​

10. We believe in a symbolic Holy communion which is open to all who claim Jesus Christ as their King & Savior and have examined themselves and harbor no unconfessed sin.

11. We believe in Baptism by emersion as a testimony of ones faith. This act is not a prerequisite for salvation but is an act of obedience to God. We believe in baptism that is witnessed by fellow believers in Christ and we baptize those who claim Him as their Savior in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, buried in the likeness of His death and raised in the likeness of His resurrection.
