Our Mission
The mission of Spirit of Life Bible Church is to be examples of God's unconditional love to all people (I Timothy 4:12). We will love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and demonstrate this by loving, serving, and teaching with integrity the truth of God's Word (Deuteronomy 6:5). It is our sincere desire to fulfill God's divine purpose in this community and in our lives (II Corinthians 5:19)
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command to you today shall be on your heart”
-Deuteronomy 6:4-5 (NIV)
Faith
We believe there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4). He is the creator of heaven and earth and all living things. We believe that Jesus Christ is the one true God revealed in the flesh. We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and that we follow the Biblical command to repent, be baptized by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance as summarized in Acts 2:38. We believe that the doctrine of Salvation was announced in the Gospels, described and experienced in Acts, and demonstrated with grace and love in the Epistles. We affirm our belief in the inspiration, inerrancy, and infallibility of the Word of God in the original text and as given to us in the Holy Bible. The Scriptures are our rule of faith, source of doctrine, and ultimate authority in all matters pertaining to the temporal and spiritual affairs of this assembly. We believe in, teach, and live the doctrine once delivered to the Apostles, through Jesus Christ.
“Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
-Acts 2:38 (NIV)
