BRICK CHURCH
DOCTRINAL STATEMENT
(Our Mission Statement Is Also On-Line)

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love.
We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus is God. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings. We believe in His subsitutionary, atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and personal visible return to earth.

We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower all how believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every person who has accepted Christ as Savior, and that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide.

We believe that all men and women are sinners by nature and choice and are, therefore, under condemnation. We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only grounds for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit and become the children of God.

We believe that the true Church is composed of all persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ, of which He is Head.

We believe that only those who are members of the true Church, having been baptized by immersion, shall be eligible for membership in Brick Church.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church and that every local church has the right, under Christ, to decide and govern its own affairs.

We believe that the hope of the believer is the imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ to gather His saints unto Himself. His coming again should have a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead: of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord in Heaven; and of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment in Hell.
