You are invited to attend the ―What revealed himself to us as three distinct
We Believe‖ class that is currently persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (2
meeting on Wednesday evenings at Corinthians 13:14).

As a part of the class, we are
focusing on the foundational beliefs
of our Church. As a Bible-affirming
church, the following doctrinal
statement faithfully summarizes many of Roman cross and was raised bodily
the core beliefs of the Heath Church of from the grave (Romans 4:25; 1 Peter

us of sin, empowers us to be holy, endows us with spiritual gifts for Christian living, and
is the seal of adoption confirming our salvation (1 Corinthians 12:7; 2 Corinthians 3:17-
18; Ephesians 1:13-14).
The Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16). The
Bible is our standard as Christians in all we believe, say, and do. We plead for the union
of all Christians on the Bible alone.
Human beings are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). We have rebelled
against God’s design for our lives by our own free choice. Our sinful rebellion separates
us from God and leads to spiritual death (Romans 6:23). God, in his grace, offers
salvation through Jesus to all

Repenting of sin (Acts 3:19);
and being Baptized by immersion for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38). Those who
follow this Biblical plan can have the assurance of God’s salvation (1 John 5:13).
We celebrate the Lord’s Supper each week in memory of Christ’s death and in
anticipation of his final coming (Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26). All Christians are
welcome to share in this family meal.
We practice believer’s baptism by immersion. In baptism, new Christians are
promised God’s gifts of the forgiveness of sin and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (Acts
2:38; Romans 6:3-5; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 3:21).
The Church is the Body of Christ composed of all Biblically-faithful Christians around
the world (1 Corinthians 12:12-13, 27). Christians demonstrate their membership in
Christ’s universal Body by identifying and serving with a local congregation, such as the
Heath Church of Christ (e.g. Ephesians 1:1). The Church is God’s chosen agency to
save and transform the world (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8). The Church changes the
world through prayer, the preaching of the gospel of Christ, and through loving witness
and service performed in Jesus’ name.
We look forward to the second coming of Jesus, the resurrection of the dead, and
the beginning of the New Heaven and New Earth (1 Thessalonians 4:16; John 5:28-29;
Revelation 21:1). The universe and the human story have a destination. The world will
be over when Jesus returns again (1 Corinthians 15:24). Jesus will return as the Savior
and King of all Christians (Titus 3:13; Hebrews 9:28), and as the Judge of all those who
rejected God and His salvation during their earthly lives (Matthew 16:27; Romans 2:16;
2 Corinthians 5:10). On the Day of Judgment, the saved will enter eternal life with God,
while the condemned will be assigned to eternal hell (Matthew 25:46; Revelation 20:11-
15). We prepare for this time of judgment by accepting Jesus as Lord today (2
