CHEMinistry Statement of Faith 

(REV. 6/11/23)

  • We believe the Holy Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the very inspired Word of God. The Bible is without error, true, authoritative, and sufficient. 

    • (Deuteronomy 12:32; John 1:1-4; Psalm 19:7-11; 2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 1:1-3; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 1 Thessalonians 2:13)

  • We believe there is only one true God, Creator of heaven and earth, who eternally exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    • (Deuteronomy 6:4; Psalm 148; Isaiah 45:5-6; Matthew 3:13-17; Romans 11:33-36; 1 Corinthians 8:4-6; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6; Colossians 1:15-20; 1 Timothy 2:5-6; Hebrews 1:1-3; 1 Peter 3:18, Isaiah 46:9-10)

  • We believe that all things exist for the glory of God and that all humanity, Christ excluded, is sinful by both birth and action. 

    • (Psalm 51:5; Jeremiah 17:9; Isaiah 46:9-10; Romans 5:12; Romans 7:18; 1 Corinthians 10:31; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 1:3-14; Hebrews 1:1-3; James 1:14-15)

  • We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, was born of a virgin, and is both fully God and fully human, and that he died as the sacrificial substitute to pay the penalty for sin. 

    • (Matthew 1:20; Matthew 3:13-17; Luke 2:52; John 1:1-4; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:21-26; Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 1:4; Ephesians 1:3-14; Colossians 1:15-20; 1 Timothy 2:5-6; Hebrews 1:1-3; Hebrews 9:28; 1 Peter 3:18)

  • We believe Jesus Christ physically rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will one day physically return. 

    • (Matthew 28:1-20; Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-53; John 20-21:25; Acts 1:11; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 1 Corinthians 15:12-34; 2 Corinthians 5:15; 1 Thessalonians 4:16; Hebrews 1:1-3; Hebrews 9:28; Revelation 1:7)

  • We believe God perfectly created men and women equal before God as persons, and established their identities as distinct and complementary in their manhood and womanhood. For our good and His glory, God created marriage as the original and foundational institution of human society, established by God as a one-flesh, covenantal union between one man and one woman that is life-long, exclusive, and generative in nature. 

    • (Genesis 1:26-28; Genesis 2:15-18, 21-24; Malachi 2:14-15; Matthew 19:4-6; Mark 10:5-9; Ephesians 5:22-33; Hebrews 13:4)

  • We believe there will be a future physical resurrection of the dead and only those who turn from sin and to Jesus in faith and repentance will be raised to eternal reward. 

    • (Genesis 3:19; Matthew 25:31-46; Acts 4:12; Acts 24:15; Romans 3:21-26; Romans 6:23; 1 Corinthians 15:12-34; Ephesians 1:3-14; 1 Thessalonians 4:16; Hebrews 9:28; 1 John 3:2)

  • We believe those who do not turn from sin and to Jesus will be raised to eternal punishment. 

    • (Genesis 6:5; Proverbs 16:4; Matthew 25:31-46; Acts 4:12; Acts 24:15; Romans 5:12; Romans 6:23; 1 Corinthians 15:12-34; Ephesians 2:1-3; James 1:14-15)

  • We believe only through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ and repentance from sin can one be reconciled to God and experience true life and joy. 

    • (Psalm 19:7-11; Psalm 45:6-7; Psalm 148; Isaiah 61:3; John 5:24; John 15:11; Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:21-26; Romans 12-21)
