Calvary Bible Church Statement of Faith

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, the infallible and only rule of faith and practice.
2. We believe in one God existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, co-equal and eternal.
3. We believe that man was created in innocence, but fell in Adam, and is now totally unable to remedy his lost condition.

5. We believe in the eternal salvation of the believer and the eternal judgment of all who reject Jesus Christ.
6. We believe that Christ instituted the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper to be observed until He comes.

What Is A Bible Church?

Many people wonder what a Bible church believes and stands for. How does a Bible church operate and what affiliations does it maintain? The following general facts about Bible churches will hopefully help you to understand a bit about the doctrinal position and style of worship found at Calvary Bible Church. For detailed information about our church government, doctrinal beliefs, and resulting practices, please read the Constitution.

Bible churches consider faithfulness to the Bible to be more important than allegiance to a denominational name or group. They do not oppose denominations as such but do not incorporate a denominational name. Remaining independent of these ties enables Bible churches to maintain allegiance to the purity of God's Word, rather than to man-made tenets of a particular denomination.

Bible churches vary in their style of service, with regard to formality, music style, and emphasis . CBC has chosen to conduct its services in a traditional manner with emphasis on strong Bible teaching, evangelism, and conservative, sacred music.

Bible churches vary with regard to certain doctrinal positions . Some are charismatic, some do not believe in a believer's eternal security, and some believe that the Holy Spirit begins the sanctification process in a believer' s life at a time separate from that of his or her salvation, often linking the gift of tongues-speaking to this experience. CBC holds to the doctrine of a believer's eternal security, with sanctification occurring at the moment of salvation.
