Kelsey Bible Church is built upon the Word of God and our personal faith in Jesus Christ. We hold to the great foundational truths of the historic Christian faith held in common by like-minded evangelical Christians with whom we share both fellowship and the missions mandate:
- We
believe that there is one God, Creator, and
Sustainer of the universe, existing in three
persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- We
believe that the Bible is the verbally
inspired Word of God, is inerrant in the
original manuscripts, and is uniquely
infallible, our only authority for faith and
practice.
- We
believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus
Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless
life, in His miracles, in His
substitutionary sacrifice upon the cross, in
His bodily resurrection, in His victory over
sin and His enemy Satan, in His present
exaltation at His Father’s right hand, and
in His personal return, at any time, in
power and great glory.
- We
believe in the fall and the lostness of man,
whose total depravity requires that he be
regenerated by the Holy Spirit for his
salvation.
- We
believe that salvation consists of the
forgiveness of sins, the imputation of
Christ’s righteousness, and the gift of
eternal life, received by grace through
faith alone, entirely apart from works.
- We
believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit
by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled
to live a godly life, and by whom the
Church, the Body of Christ, is gifted and
equipped to serve and glorify God.
- We
believe in the bodily resurrection of all
mankind: those who have trusted in Christ,
the ultimate Judge, will receive everlasting
life and blessedness in heaven; those who
have not will receive everlasting punishment
and separation from the presence of God.
- We believe that Christ has commanded His Church to preach the gospel to all people and that this mandate should be a primary concern of all Christians.
