Statement of Faith
Calvary Chapel Fayetteville was formed as a
fellowship of believers following the Lordship of our savior Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be
conformed into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only their over-emphasis of doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the body of Christ.
We believe …… the bible to be the inspired word of God, without error,
the only authority for faith
and life.
We believe …… in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life,
His miracles,
His glory.
We believe …… by grace we are saved through faith in Christ’s death on the cross,
and this salvation is the gift of God.
We believe …… in His Agape love, the only true basis of Christian fellowship,
which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right
to claim ourselves
as Christians.
We believe …… worship of God should be Spiritual.
Therefore: we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our
worship.
We believe …… worship of God should be Inspirational.
Therefore: we give a great place to music in
our worship.
We believe …… worship of God should be Intelligent.
Therefore: our services are designed with great emphasis upon teaching of the
Word of God
that He might instruct us how He should be
worshiped.
We believe …… the worship of God should be Fruitful.
Therefore: we look for His Love in our lives as the supreme manifestation
that we have truly been worshiping Him.
We believe …… in one God, existing in three
persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe …… mankind is sinful, at war with God, deserving penalty.
We believe …… Jesus Christ paid the penalty for the sin of mankind by dying on the cross,
and that He was physically raised from the dead.
We believe …… the Holy Spirit lives in the believer of Christ, also the baptism
of the Holy Spirit is available in the believer.
We believe …… in the soon return of Jesus Christ, the gathering of all believers,
and the establishment of His kingdom on earth.
We believe …… in the resurrection of the living and the dead to eternity, the judgment seat of Christ, with believers heaven bound and non-believers lost to eternal penalty in hell.
