What We Believe

  

At Calvary Baptist Church, we are a congregation committed to proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ, loving people, and standing on the unchanging truth of God’s Word. 

Below is a summary of our core beliefs.

God

The Holy Spirit

Jesus Christ

We believe in one God who eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He is holy, sovereign, loving, and worthy of all worship.
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19)    


Jesus Christ

The Holy Spirit

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God—fully God and fully man.
He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose bodily from the grave, and is coming again. Salvation is found in Him alone.
(John 1:1,14; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Acts 4:12)

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit convicts people of sin, regenerates and indwells believers, and empowers the church for godly living and ministry.
(John 16:8; Acts 1:8; Romans 8:9)

The Bible

Humanity & Sin

The Holy Spirit

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is our final rule for faith, doctrine, and daily living.
(2 Timothy 3:16–17; Psalm 119:105)

Humanity & Sin

Humanity & Sin

Humanity & Sin

  We believe all people are created in the image of God but are sinners by nature. Because of sin, we are separated from God and in need of salvation.
(Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23)

Salvation

Humanity & Sin

Humanity & Sin

We believe salvation is a free gift of God’s grace, received through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. It cannot be earned by good works. All who are truly saved are eternally secure in Christ.
(Ephesians 2:8–9; John 10:28–29)

The Church

Baptism & the Lord’s Supper

Baptism & the Lord’s Supper

  We believe the local church is a body of baptized believers, united in faith and mission. Christ is the Head of the church, and every believer is called to serve, grow, and share the gospel.
(Acts 2:41–47; Colossians 1:18)

Baptism & the Lord’s Supper

Baptism & the Lord’s Supper

Baptism & the Lord’s Supper

We believe baptism is the immersion of a believer in water as a public testimony of faith.
The Lord’s Supper is a symbolic memorial of Christ’s death and a reminder of His promised return.
(Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26)

Marriage & Family

Baptism & the Lord’s Supper

Mission & Evangelism

  We believe God created marriage as the lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, and the family as the primary unit for nurturing faith and character.
(Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:22–33)

Mission & Evangelism

Mission & Evangelism

Mission & Evangelism

  We believe it is the responsibility and privilege of every believer and every church to share the gospel with all people, locally and globally.
(Matthew 28:18–20; Acts 1:8)

The Return of Christ

Mission & Evangelism

The Return of Christ

We believe Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly to judge the world and to bring all things to their rightful end in His eternal kingdom.
