What We Believe

When we know and understand who we have been made to be in Christ Jesus, it is easy to live life as we were meant to - and to enjoy it!  The following are the core beliefs of Faith Building Church based on Biblical truths. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.

We believe that - There is one God who exists eternally in three distinct Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is loving, holy and just.

We believe that - The Bible is God’s Word.  It is inspired, and it is our instruction to perfectly guide us in all matters of life. It is the final authority on which we base our faith, conduct, and doctrine.

We believe that - Man was created in the very image and likeness of God.  Because of sin, however, we were separated from Him and only through Jesus Christ can we be reconciled back to our Heavenly Father.

We believe that - Jesus Christ is both God and Man.  He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.  He led a sinless life, took all of our sins upon Himself, shed His blood for those sins, and then died and rose again as our righteous conquering King.  Today, He is seated at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Mediator.

We believe that - Salvation is the gift of God to man.  This gift is made possible by His grace and received through our faith in Jesus Christ and it produces works pleasing to God.

We believe that - Water baptism is an outward expression that demonstrates a believer's identification with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus and is a testimony of that believer's faith in Jesus as their Lord.

We believe that - The Holy Spirit is our Comforter.  He equips us, strengthens us, and guides us into truth in all areas of our lives.  We believe He blesses us with spiritual gifts to minister to, edify, and benefit the Body of Christ.  These gifts are always to operate decently and in Biblical order.  We also believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit and that He empowers us to live a life that yields His fruit.

We believe that - The Holy Communion is a celebration of Jesus’ death and our remembrance of what He did for us on the cross.  Through the partaking of these elements, we remember what He became for us so that we can become all we can be in Him.
 

We believe that - God wants to transform us by His new birth and put us back into the position Adam was in before sin entered.  He wants to save us, heal us, make us whole in every way, and prosper us so that we can live a blessed and victorious life that will impact and help others.  We believe it is God's will for every believer to prosper spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially.

We believe that - Every believer should be conformed to the image of Christ and live out their lives in a growing relationship with Jesus.  We do this by renewing our mind to God's Word and yielding to the direction of the Holy Spirit.

We believe that - We are all called to be witnesses of the Lord Jesus, have our lives be a living testimony of His goodness, and to preach the gospel to all nations.

We believe that - Our Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again to permanently establish His Kingdom and will receive us to our eternal Heavenly home just as He promised.
