Beliefs

What we believe at Calvary Assembly about Jesus, the Bible, and the Church.

Our Beliefs

THE SCRIPTURES

We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit to write words of Scripture. The Scripture is our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine.

GOD

We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to man and to become the Savior of the lost world.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

The fruits of the Spirit are the by-product of a Spirit-filled life and are evidence of spiritual maturity. The baptism in the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit are given to empower, encourage, and build up the body. We are instructed to diligently seek the gifts, use them in Biblical order and in the context of love.

MANKIND

We believe that man was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him, but became alienated from that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man is totally incapable of coming back into a right relationship with God by his own effort. It is only possible through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

SALVATION

We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sins. Therefore, salvation only occurs when a person places his faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as the sufficient payment for his sin. One who physically dies in his sins without Christ is eternally lost in the Lake of Fire, and therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel of repenting.

THE CHURCH

We believe that the church is the body of Christ of which Jesus Christ is the Head. The members are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and making Him known to a lost world.

ORDINANCES

We believe the two scriptural ordinances of a New Testament church are baptism and the Lord's Supper. We follow our Lord's command to give public evidence of our salvation with baptism by water and faithfully remember Christ's cleansing blood and broken body with the elements of Holy Communion.
