We believe and preach the whole counsel of God’s holy and inspired Word. We hold to the following doctrines without apology or compromise, God being our Helper:

1. The existence of an eternal, immutable, holy, self existing God. He manifests Himself in the Godhead by three distinct, equal, sovereign beings. Named in the Bible: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These three agree in One and are One.
   
   

2. The Holy Bible is inspired of God. It is in it’s inspiration without any error, and is the sole rule of faith and practice. The Word is able to make one wise unto salvation, and is the power of God unto salvation. It is the final authority for all faith and practice.
   
   

3. The creation of the earth and all things which exist was performed by God in six twenty-four hour days. This includes man, who was created in a state of uprightness and holiness. Man, by an act of willful disobedience, died spiritually and as a consequence all of Adam’s race are born spiritually "dead in trespasses and sins". In heredity, Total Depravity.
   
   

4. That salvation is "of the Lord", from the beginning in His Unconditional Election, performed by God before the world began. Based solely upon His own good pleasure, not foreseen works, repentance, nor faith: but completely by His free and sovereign grace.
   
   

5. That our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ came to this earth born of a virgin, conceived by God the Holy Spirit. He, the eternal Son of God, took upon Himself the likeness of human flesh. He lived on the earth, performed miracles, taught His own, and performed many miraculous deeds. In time He went to Calvary to be crucified. He suffered, shed His precious blood, and died for the elect of God. After three days and three nights He arose from the grave and is alive forevermore, having the keys of death, Hell, and the grave.
   
   

6. Regeneration is necessary because of the Total Depravity of mankind. This is accomplished by God the Holy Spirit using the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. The call of He the Holy Spirit is effectual. As God declares "My people shall be willing in the day of my power."
   
   

7. Those elected by the Father, redeemed by the Son, quickened and indwelt by the Holy Spirit; shall certainly be kept from falling from grace. Every one given to the Son by God the Father will be resurrected. He shall loose nothing.
   
   

8. The church of our Lord Jesus Christ was instituted by Him, during His earthly ministry. She did not begin on Pentecost, nor come from the reformation period. The church of which Jesus Christ is the Head began with the material prepared by John The Baptist. She was commissioned by Jesus Christ, and empowered with Holy Spirit of God on the day of Pentecost by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. This church and descendants from the first church of Jerusalem have existed since the day Jesus Christ instituted her and shall be perpetuated until He comes and calls His saints to Heaven.
   
   

9. We believe in a physical, literal, and personal return of Jesus Christ. He shall come for those who are saved before the great tribulation period. Then, after the time of Jacob’s trouble, Jesus Christ Himself shall come again to this earth, and sit upon the throne of David His father for one thousand years. Then shall come the eternal state.

This is a brief summary of who we are and what we believe at Grace Baptist Church. We welcome inquiries, comments, or questions. If we could be of spiritual help to anyone at any time, we would certainly like to do so.
