Calvary Chapel Madison County
Statement of Faith
The Calvary Chapel Church has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and to be conformed into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit.
WE BELIEVE the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.
WE BELIEVE there is one God, eternally existent in perfect unity as three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
WE BELIEVE in the deity of Jesus Christ; in His Virgin Birth; in His sinless human life; in His divine miracles; in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood; in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and in His personal return in power and glory.
WE BELIEVE that for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity, repentance from sin, acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential. That is the only way to come into a relationship with God.
WE BELIEVE in and expectantly await the glorious, visible, personal, premillennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed hope of His return has vital bearing on the personal life, service, and mission of the believer
(1 Thessalonians 4:13–18).
WE BELIEVE in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost. The lost will be raised to judgment and experience eternal wrath in Hell. The saved will be raised to eternal joy in the new Heaven and new earth in the manifested presence of God (Acts 1:3, 9; Hebrews 7:25–26).
