Nichols-Bethel’s Faith Statement
Trinity
We believe in one living and true God, eternally existing in the holy trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
God, the Father
We believe God wills people everywhere to know Him and be made new in Christ.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God
We believe in the virgin birth, deity, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus.
We believe in the Apostles Creed.
The Holy Spirit
We believe that those who are made new in Christ are called to be holy in character and conduct and can only live this way by being filled with the Holy Spirit.
Scripture
We believe in the authority of Scripture, that the Bible is God’s written word, uniquely inspired by the Holy Spirit. It bears unerring witness to Jesus Christ and is the living word. It is the trustworthy record of God’s revelation and is completely true in all it affirms.
Our beliefs, practices, priorities, and missions are anchored in clear biblical teachings.
Christian Life
We believe Christian life includes loving God and our neighbors to make disciples of Christ who worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly.
The Church
We believe that the purpose of the church is to worship God in spirit and in truth and to reach a lost and fallen world with the gospel of Jesus Christ through its worship, witness, and loving deeds.
Role of Local Church
We believe that local churches are the most fundamental and strategic points of evangelism, praise, discipleship, and missions.
