Union Grove Baptist Church

~We affirm the Bible to be God’s divinely inspired, inerrant and infallible Word of God in its truth and even the wording which states and bears the truth to us.

~We affirm one eternal God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

~We affirm the Almighty Father, Maker of heaven and earth, Who created all things for His glory and pleasure according to His purpose and will.

~We affirm the Son the Lord Jesus Christ who is one in substance with the Father, by Whom all things were made; Who came down from heaven to be conceived by the Holy Spirit and be born of a virgin; Who lived a perfect life, and then was crucified and died for our sins and was bought; Who rose bodily on the third day according to the Scriptures; Who then ascended into heaven; and Who is now sitting at the right hand of God having received all authority as King of Kings and Lord of Lords; and Who shall come again in glory to judge; the living and the dead, and Who then shall set up His kingdom which shall never end.

~We affirm the Holy Spirit, Who proceeded from the Father and the Son; Who possesses all the attributes of deity as does the Father and Son; Who is the author and interpreter of the Holy Scriptures; and Who applies the work of the Son to God’s elect.

~We affirm that salvation is by faith alone through the work and ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ.

~We affirm that man is a fallen creature and so corrupt and depraved in nature that he cannot save himself nor even turn to the God who saves, except by the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit.

~We affirm the church as the body of Christ, existing in two aspects, the universal church, made up of the saved of all ages, and the local church, a body of believers on earth at the present time. We affirm that the local church should as best as possible reflect the membership of the universal church.
