This is the statement of faith we hold to as a church. All our beliefs are based in scripture as the full and final authority.
Scripture
We believe that the Bible is the verbally and totally inspired Word of God. The Bible is our supreme and final authority in faith and life. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21)
The Trinity
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, 26; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1, 3; 4:24; Acts 5:3, 4; Romans 1:20; Ephesians 4:5, 6; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man. (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38; Romans 9:5; Titus 2:13)
Made in God's Image
We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death which is separation from God, and that all human beings become guilty sinners in thought, word, and deed. (Genesis 1:26, 27; 3:1-24; Romans 3:25; 5:12-18; 1 John 1:8)
The Death & Resurrection of Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a substitutionary sacrifice, that He rose victorious from the grave on the third day, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. (Isaiah 53; Matthew 20:18; John 3:16; Romans 3:24-26; 5:1; 1 Corinthians 15:3, 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 1:7; 1 John 2:2; Matthew 28:6; Romans 10:9 and 1 Corinthians 15:14)
The Return of Christ
We believe in the personal and visible return of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:16, 17)
Salvation
We believe that all who come by grace through faith to accept the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God, having direct relations with God through Jesus Christ. (John 3:3, 5; 1:12, 13; James 1:18; 1 Peter 1:23; Ephesians 2:8, 9)
Bodily Resurrection
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting joy of the saved and eternal separation from God for those who are unsaved. (John 5:28-29; 1 Corinthians 15; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 20:4-6; 11-15)
The Holy Spirit & Baptism
We believe that all Christians are indwelt and baptized by the Holy Spirit when they receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. We believe that water baptism by immersion is a biblical testimony of the professed believer in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:28-41, 47; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 8:36-40; 10:47; 18:8; Romans 6:3, 4; 1 Corinthians 12:13)
Communion (The Lord's Supper)
We believe that those who partake of the Lord’s Supper should be regenerate believers, walking in fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:42-46; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29)
The Church
We believe in the universal church, composed of all regenerated believers of any race or nation and that each church is independent, being free from undue interference from any outside authority. We believe in the local church, consisting of a group of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a profession of faith, and associated for worship, work and fellowship. (Matthew 28:17-20; Acts 2:41-42; 1 Corinthians 12:12-31)
Marriage
We believe that Christian marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God for the wellbeing of mankind and the propagation of the human race. It is the spiritual and physical union of one man and one woman, as identified by birth or DNA, according to Scripture. (Genesis 2:24, Mark 10:6-9)
Church Affiliation
We believe that local churches can best promote the cause of Jesus Christ by cooperation with one another in a denominational organization. Quarry Community Church shall maintain affiliation with the Converge North Central (CNC) and Converge and may maintain additional affiliations.
