LECC Statement of Faith

WE BELIEVE:

In God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; and in the Holy Spirit; and that these three are one true God who exists eternally, is all-powerful, everywhere present, all-knowing, sovereign, unchanging, holy, just, and loving.

The Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired and totally inerrant Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.

In the Lord Jesus Christ, who in the beginning was with God, and was God, and who on earth, was truly man, truly God, and was without sin.

In the ministry of the Holy Spirit who convicts, regenerates, baptizes, indwells, enlightens and empowers all those who believe in Jesus Christ to live godly lives.

That Jesus Christ died a substitutionary death for sinners and arose physically from the grave. He ascended into heaven and will return physically and visibly to earth just as he left.

That we are saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that good works are the certain fruit of such faith. We therefore offer ourselves for Christian service as a means of expressing our gratitude to Him, and to further His Kingdom on earth.

That it is only through personal faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ that we can receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

In the resurrection of the dead, and in the final judgment of all humanity.

That mankind was created for fellowship with God.

That we are sinners by nature and by choice.
