What We Believe

The Body of Believers at Chalkhead Baptist Church
 

 

• AFFIRM the Holy Bible as the inspired word of God and the basis for our beliefs and actions.
  
   

• ACKNOWLEDGE the Creator-God as our Heavenly Father, infinitely perfect, and intimately acquainted with all our ways.
  
   

• CLAIM Jesus Christ as our Lord; very God who came in Human flesh; the object of our worship and the subject of praise.
  
   

• RECOGNIZE the Holy Spirit as Godhead constantly at work convicting, convincing, and comforting.
  
   

• CONFESS that Adam's fall into sin left humanity without the hope of heaven apart from a new birth, made possible by the Savior's death and bodily resurrection.
  
   

• BELIEVE the offering of salvation is God's love gift to all. Those who accept it by faith, apart from works, become new creatures in Christ.
  
   

• ANTICIPATE our Lord's promised return which could occur at any time. 
  
   

• ARE CONVINCED that all who have died will be brought back from beyond, believers to everlasting communion with God; unbelievers to everlasting separation from God. 
  
   

• KNOW that the Lord is continuing to enlarge His Family, the Body of Christ, over which He rules as Head. 
  
   

• ARE GRATEFUL to be a part of a local church that exists to proclaim God's truth, administer the ordinances, to stimulate growth toward maturity, and to bring glory to God. 
   

• SUPPORT the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message of the Southern Baptist Convention.
