Faith That Gives Hope

In 2002, a handful of people who had a burden to reach friends and family members who were far from God began praying, asking God what He would have them do. In the fall of 2003, monthly services began and by the spring of 2004, Moss Brook Church was meeting every Sunday.

THE SCRIPTURES
We believe that the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are, in their original languages, the verbally inspired words of God. We believe the Scriptures are inerrant (without fault or mistake) and therefore, the complete, sufficient and ultimate authority for the well-being of mankind. (II Timothy 3:15-17 / II Peter 1:20-21)

GOD
We believe in one God, the Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons- Father, Spirit and Son. We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son, is truly God and truly man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin, Mary. After living a sinless life, He willingly died on the cross for our sin and rose again to provide salvation and eternal life for all those who trust Him. We believe the Holy Spirit’s ministry is to glorify Jesus Christ, as well as to indwell, guide and instruct the believer. (John 17:3 / Matthew 28:19-20 / John 1:1-4 / John 3:16 / John 16:14 / John 14:26)

MAN
We believe that man was created by God, in His image, but fell into sin and is therefore lost and condemned apart from salvation through Jesus Christ. (Genesis 3:1-6 / Romans 3:10-19 / Romans 1:18)

SALVATION
We believe that Jesus Christ died willingly on the cross and shed His blood that all men might be forgiven their sin and given eternal life. Belief in Christ and His finished work on the cross is mankind’s only hope of salvation. We believe in water baptism as a public declaration of trust in Christ. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead- the righteous to spend eternity in heaven in the presence of God, and the unbelieving to eternal punishment. (Romans 6:23 / Romans 10:9-10 / I Corinthians 15 / I Thessalonians 4:16-17)

THE CHURCH
We believe that the true Church is made up of all who place their faith and trust in Jesus Christ for salvation. At the moment a person places their faith in Christ, they become part of this worldwide body. We believe that local churches, such as ours, exist for the glorifying of God. Our mission as a church is to turn lost people into reproducing followers of Christ. (Matthew 28:18-20 / Acts 2:42-46 / Ephesians 4:16).
