What We Believe - First Presbyterian Church
About First Presbyterian Church
Welcome to First Presbyterian Church - Praise Chapel, a vibrant community of believers dedicated to deepening our faith and spreading the love of God. As part of our commitment to fostering a strong spiritual community, we proudly outline our core beliefs and values, which guide our actions and shape our future.
Our Faith and Beliefs
At First Presbyterian Church, we firmly believe in the power of faith and its transformative impact on individuals and communities. Our beliefs reflect the teachings of the Bible, and we strive to live out our faith in everything we do.
1. The Word of God
We wholeheartedly embrace the Bible as the inspired Word of God. It serves as our ultimate authority and contains the wisdom and truth necessary for spiritual growth and guidance. We believe in studying and applying God's Word in our daily lives, allowing it to shape our thoughts, decisions, and interactions.
2. The Triune God
We affirm our faith in the one true God who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This doctrine of the Trinity teaches us about the nature and character of God, and the unique roles each person plays in our redemption and relationship with Him.
3. Salvation through Jesus Christ
We firmly believe that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Through His perfect life, sacrificial death, and resurrection, we have the opportunity to be reconciled with God and experience eternal life. We encourage all individuals to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, trusting in His redeeming work.
4. The Power of Prayer
Prayer is a vital part of our faith journey. We believe in the power of prayer to bring about healing, restoration, and spiritual breakthroughs. Through prayer, we can communicate with God, seek His guidance, and experience His transformative presence in our lives.
5. The Church as the Body of Christ
As a church community, we understand the importance of fellowship and accountability. We believe that the church is the body of Christ, called to worship, serve, and grow together. We value unity, love, and support within our church family, and we strive to extend Christ's love beyond our walls to impact our local and global communities.
6. The Great Commission
As followers of Christ, we are called to share the good news of the Gospel with others. We embrace the Great Commission, which compels us to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We seek to fulfill this mission by actively engaging in evangelism, missions, and service opportunities.
