BELIEF STATEMENT
HISTORY

                        Upstate Christian Ministries Statement of Faith

We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God.  The Bible is infallible and without error (In the original manuscripts). The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is the authority in all matters of faith and practice.

We believe in the Holy Trinity.  There is one God who exists eternally in three persons:  the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.  He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life on earth, died on the cross to pay the full penalty for our sin, that He miraculously rose bodily from the dead, He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of God the Father and where He intercedes on behalf of His children.  We believe He will come again in glory!

We believe that man is dead in sin, blinded to God’s truth, and helpless apart from the grace of God.  We believe that salvation is found through faith in Christ alone.
