What We Believe

At Henry Christian Church, our beliefs are rooted in the truth of God's Word and centered on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. What we believe shapes how we live, how we love, and how we serve. The following Statement of Faith reflects the biblical convictions that guide our teaching, our ministry, and our daily walk with the Lord. 

STATEMENT OF FAITH

  1. Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God, who died for our sins and arose from the dead.
    1 Corinthians 15:1-8, John 3:16.
     

  2. The Bible is in the inspired word of God - a lamp unto our feet, a light unto our path.
    2 Timothy 3:16, Psalms 119:105.
     

  3. We believe the Bible teaches God established marriage in the beginning as a lifelong exclusive relationship between one man and one woman.
    Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6.
     

  4. We believe God’s perfect plan in creating humans as distinctly male and distinctly female, an immutable binary gender distinction identified at birth in accordance with an individual’s biological sex and DNA sequencing.
    Genesis 1:27, 2:18, 21-24, 5:2, Mark 10:6-8, 1 Corinthians 14:33.
     

  5. Treating gender as other than an immutable trait from birth is also contrary to God’s design for the family and His design for other interpersonal relationships.
    Genesis 2:18, 24, 1 Peter 3:7, Ephesians 5:22-23, 6:1-4, Colossians 3:18-21.
     

  6. Those accepting Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith, and be baptized into Him. Romans 10:9, Acts 2:38.
     

  7. The Church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit and exists to evangelize the lost and edify the saved.
    Ephesians 4:1-16.
     

  8. The Power of the Holy Spirit for Ministry is available for the asking.
    Luke 11:9-13, 24:48-49.
     

  9. Jesus Christ will one day return to the earth and reign forever as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
    1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
