Statement of Faith
A. THE BIBLE: We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments,
to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original
writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of
men and the divine and final authority for Christian faith and life
(John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21; Revelation 22:18-19)
B. GOD: We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect
and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit
(Genesis 1:1, 26; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1,14,18; Acts 5:3-4; 2 Corinthians
13:14)
C. JESUS CHRIST: We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man
having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He died on the cross a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures.
Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where
at the right hand of the Majesty on High He is now our High Priest and
Advocate (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-35; John 1:1,14,18;
Philippians 2:6-11; Hebrews 4:14-16)
D. THE HOLY SPIRIT: We believe that the ministry of the Spirit is to
glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict men,
regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct and empower
the believer for godly living and service (John 14:16-17; 16:13-14;
Acts 5:3-4; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 6:18-20)
E. MAN: We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell
into sin and is, therefore, lost and only through regeneration by
the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained
(Genesis 1:26-27; 2:7-9,16-17; 3:1-19; Romans 3:10,23; 5:12,19)
F. SALVATION: We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His
resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation
for all who believe, and only such as recieve Jesus Christ are born
of the Holy Spirit and thus become children of God (John 1:12; 3:16;
John 10:27-30; Acts 16:31; Romans 3:21-28;; 8:29-39; Ephesians 2:8-9;
Titus 3:3-8)
G. ORDINANCES: We believe that water baptism and the Lord's Supper are
ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They
are however not to be regarded as means of salvation (Matthew 28:18-20;
1 Corinthians 11:23-34)
H. CHURCH: We believe that the true Chruch is composed of all such
persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated
by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ of
which He is the Head (Ephesians 1:22-23; Colossians 1:18)
I. CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: We believe that only those who are, thus, members
of the true Church shall be eligible for membership in the local
church (John 1:12; 3:16; 1 Corinthians 1:2; Philippians 1:1)
J. CONGREGATIONAL GOVERNMENT: We believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord
and Head of the Church and that every local church has the right under
Christ to decide and govern its own affairs (Matthew 18:17; Acts 6:3-5;
Acts 15:22,30; 1 Peter 2:5,9)
K. THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST: We believe in the personal premillennial
and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this "Blessed
Hope" has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the
believer (John 14:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-58)
L. THE RESURRECTIONS: We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead;
of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord; of
of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting concious punishment
(John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:11-15)
Values of Victory Bible Church
A. A COMMITMENT TO THE GREAT COMMISSION: We believe that the mission of the
church is to make more and better disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ by telling the
gospel to the lost, baptizing new converts, and teaching Christians to obey everything
that Christ has commanded. We are committed to obeying the Great Commission in the power
of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8)
B. A COMMITMENT TO BIBLE TEACHING: We believe that the Bible is the inspired,
inerrant Word of God given to us as our authoritative rule for faith and
practice. We are committed to preaching and teaching the Word of God and
showing people how to apply its timeless truths to their lives
(2 Timothy 3:15-4:5)
C. A COMMITMENT TO WORSHIP: We believe that worship is a key to renewal and
revival in the church. We are committed to exalting the triune God in our
worship services through singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs,
doing drama, playing musical instruments, praying, giving an offering, and
sharing testimonies of how God is working in our lives (John 4:23-24;
Acts 2:42-47; Hebrews 10:24-25)
D. A COMMITMENT TO PRAYER: We believe that prayer is essential for effective
ministry. We believe that God hears and answers the prayers of His
people and that without prayer nothing of eternal consequence can be
accomplished. We are committed to pray for the church, the pastor and his
family, church leaders, church services, ministry teams, and missionaries
(John 16:24; Acts 4:31; Romans 12:12; Ephesians 6:18)
E. A COMMITMENT TO SMALL GROUPS: We believe that small groups are the
most effective means of building relationships, stimulating spiritual
growth, and developing leaders. We are committed to starting small groups
in the church, training small group leaders, and encouraging people to
join small groups (Acts 2:46; Romans 15:14; 1 Peter 4:9)
F. A COMMITMENT TO LAY MINSITRY: We believe that every Christian has at
least one spiritual gift. We are committed to helping Christians
discover and use their spiritual gifts to serve one another and build
up the Body of Christ (Romans 12:3-8; 1 Peter 4:10-11)
G. A COMMITMENT TO THE FAMILY: We believe that the family is ordained by
God. We are committed to strengthening marriages and families by
ministering to adults, youth, and children (Ephesians 5:22-6:4)
H. A COMMITMENT TO LEADERSHIP TRAINING: We believe that Christians should
be trained to lead small groups and ministry teams. We are committed
to training Christians to do the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:11-16;
2 Timothy 2:2)
I. A COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: We believe that the church
should be salt and light in a spiritually dark and morally decaying
world. We are committed to taking a stand against abortion, pornography,
homosexuality, crime, racism, and drug abuse. We are also committed to
serving others in our community (Matthew 5:13-16; Ephesians 5:11-13)
J. A COMMITMENT TO CHURCH PLANTING AND MISSIONS: We believe that the
church needs to have missionary eyes. Jesus said that we should look
on the fields because they are ripe for harvest. We are committed to
planting churches in the greater Columbus area. We are committed to
giving to world missions, praying for missionaries and encouraging
our members to go to the mission field (John 4:35-38; Acts 1:8;
1 Corinthians 16:1-2)
