Crossroads Christian Church
Articles of Faith
1. We believe the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God, without any error, the all- sufficient authority in matters of faith, doctrine, and Christian
living.
2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3. We believe the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ, and that He is true God and man. He died on the cross for our sins. He rose Bodily from the dead,
ascended into heaven where He sits at right hand of the Father and is now our High Priest and Advocate.
4. We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost. Only through regeneration by the work of the Holy
Spirit can man’s salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
5. We believe that eternal Salvation is the free gift of God, entirely apart from man’s works, and is possessed by any and all who have faith in and
receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
6. We believe in a regeneration church membership: that is, persons old enough to understand their need for Jesus Christ and, of their own free
will, accepted Him as their personal Lord and Savior.
7. We believe that baptism is by immersion and the Lord’s Supper is a memorial to His suffering and death on the cross. These are ordinances to
be observed by the church in its present age.
8. We believe in the personal, bodily, imminent, and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ and the His second Coming inspires believers for
dynamic and zealous life and service for Him while waiting for His return.
9. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in heaven, and the everlasting punishment and
separation from God of the unsaved in hell.
10. We believe in the autonomy of the local church. The church shall manage its own affairs and shall not be subject to any other religious body or
organization.
11. We subscribe to the “Baptist Faith and Message” adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention of 1963 as our larger statement of faith with
scriptural references.
