Our Core ConvictionsThe Spiritual Pillars Guiding Our Journey
Anchored in Faith
At Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, our beliefs are more than just tenets; they are the compass that guides our spiritual journey. Rooted in the timeless teachings of the Bible, our convictions shape our community, inspire our worship, and pave the way for a future filled with hope and divine purpose. Dive deep into the core principles that define our faith and discover the essence of our spiritual family.
- The Divine Scriptures
- The Holy Bible stands as a testament to God's divine revelation to humanity. Crafted by individuals divinely inspired, it serves as a beacon of God's wisdom and love. With salvation at its core, the Bible is a blend of unerring truths, with God as its author and guide.
- The Singular God
- Our belief is anchored in the existence of one true and living God, the eternal Creator and Sustainer of the universe. Ever-present, omniscient, and omnipotent, God manifests Himself to us in three distinct forms - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each form holds unique attributes, yet they remain undivided in essence and being.
- Jesus Christ, Our Savior
- Christ, the eternal beacon of hope, is the Son of God. His birth, through the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, marked the beginning of a sinless life dedicated to guiding humanity towards righteousness. His sacrifice on the cross, resurrection witnessed by over 500 individuals, and ascension to heaven are the cornerstones of our faith, as we await His triumphant return.
- The Gift of Salvation
- Salvation is a divine gift, granted through God's grace and our unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. By acknowledging Jesus as the Son of God, who bore the cross for our sins and rose from the dead, and by repenting our sins, we are embraced by God's eternal love and grace.
- Eternal Security in Christ
- Every genuine believer is eternally safeguarded in their salvation. This eternal bond is a testament to God's grace and power, bestowed upon us through Christ. Our salvation is not a product of our efforts but a gift from God, ensuring that once genuinely saved, our bond with Him remains unbroken.
- The Church and Its Mission
- The New Testament church is a congregation of baptized believers, united in their mission to worship God, spread the gospel, and partake in the sacred ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Together, we foster fellowship, extend a helping hand to those in need, and ardently engage in evangelism and missions.
