At Peoples's Community Church, we have tried to emphasize these essential truths in our Statement of Faith:
I.
We believe that divinely inspired men wrote the Bible and that it provides divine guidance for living the Christian life and reveals the principles by which God will judge us.
II.
We believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
III.
We believe that man was created by God in holiness, but fell from that holy state; therefore, all mankind are now sinners.
IV.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is deity, that he was born of a virgin, that we are redeemed by His atoning death through His blood, that He bodily resurrected and ascended into heaven, and that He will come in power and great glory.
V.
We believe that salvation of sinners is wholly of grace through the saving work of the Son of God.
VI.
We believe that Christ pardons the sins of those who believe in Him and promises them eternal life solely through faith.
VII.
We believe sinners to be saved must be born again.
VIII.
We believe the church consists of believers in Christ who have been baptized.
IX.
We believe that water baptism and the Lord's supper are to be observed by believers but are not a way to salvation.
X.
We believe that all human beings will be raised from the dead, at their proper time, to participate in either eternal life prepared for those who have been redeemed or to participate in the eternal punishment reserved for the devil and his angels.
