Statement of Faith

HCS BELIEVES:

There is One infinite, eternal, and unchangeable God who exists in Three Persons: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. John 1:1-18, 4:24, 14:11-12

The Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, inerrant, and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice. Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:4-16, Peter 1:20-21, Isaiah 40:8

Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who trust in Him for salvation. We believe in His deity, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His bodily resurrection on the third day, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His return to earth to raise the dead, judge the world, and establish His glorious kingdom. Luke 1:26-28, 23:44-49, 24:8, John 1:1-4,14, 3:16, I Corinthians 15:3-8, Acts 1:10-11, Revelation 22:7, 21:1-4

Regeneration and indwelling by the Holy Spirit occurs in all true believers. The Holy Spirit provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truths, and guides the Christian on a daily basis. Romans 8:26-27, Galatians 5:16-25

We are saved by Grace through faith in Jesus Christ, as He is offered to us in the gospel. John 3:16, Ephesians 1:7

We believe that mankind consists of two genders, male and female that were created by God. These two genders compliment and reflect the image of God. Genesis 1:26-27, Matthew 19:4

In the spiritual unity of believers in Jesus Christ: Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28

God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations. Deuteronomy 6:1-9, Joshua 24:15

Water baptism and the regular taking of communion are commanded in Scripture. While not essential for salvation, they are a sign of evangelical obedience in the life of the believer and therefore should be practiced. Acts 2:38, Romans 6:1-7, Galatians 3:26-27

At the final judgement, Christ shall judge the entire world, and the saved will spend eternity with the Lord and the lost will receive eternal condemnation. Revelation 20:11-15, 22:3-5

We believe that God ordained marriage to be unity between one man and one woman in a single and exclusive union. We believe that sexual intimacy is to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other and that God commands that there be no sexual intimacy outside of or apart from marriage between a man and a woman. Genesis 2:18-25, 1 Corinthians 6:18, Hebrews 13:4
