Articles of Faith

Article One 

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. The Bible is the final authority on all matters of life, faith and practice. 

Article Two 

We believe in the Triune nature of God; one in substance, eternally existent in three dimensions, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. 

Article Three 

We believe that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, took upon himself the form of man, with two distinct natures, and by His atoning work through His death, burial and resurrection has made salvation for man by His free grace. 

Article Four 

We believe that salvation is an act of God's grace by the work of the Holy Spirit in regenerating and converting the hearts of men by His free gift of saving faith. 

Article Five 

We believe in the personal return of Jesus Christ, the eternal damnation in a literal hell for the unsaved, and everlasting life with the living God for the righteous. 

Article Six 

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling and empower­ment the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life and through whom the Spiritual enablements are operational in the Church today. 

Article Seven 

We believe that every area of life is to be subject to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and we adhere to a world and life view that seeks to make the Lord Jesus Christ preeminent in all things. 

Biblical  Principles 

            We further express that God the Father is our creator and our sustainer in life; that Jesus Christ the Holy Son of God is our redeemer, and we submit to His Lordship, and that the Holy Spirit is the one who reveals and guides us personally and professionally in our ministries, and that the Holy Bible is the infallible authority in matters of faith and conduct. 

            These Biblical standards guide us as we apply the life-giving message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our ministry. The application of these standards of faith and conduct indicate that we demonstrate a respect for and value of every person, as a being created in the image of God. 

            These standards are guiding principles for each N.C.C.C. minister. There is no attempt to impede any subscriber to these standards or to prevent them from interpret­ing these scriptural foundations according to their personal perspective and training.
