Beliefs

We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.

We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We believe that all people have sinned and deserve God’s judgment.

We believe that forgiveness comes by the mercy of God alone and not by any means of deserving or earning God’s love.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death, atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him alone, for salvation.

We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God’s people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.

We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people to Himself.

We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

We recognize that we are one local expression of the larger body of Christ. We celebrate the existence of many strong churches in the Greensboro area and desire to work together with them for the glory of Christ wherever possible. We also value the formal connection we have with other churches in our particular denomination, the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).
