What We Believe

The following are the core beliefs of Hulls Grove Baptist Church based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.

The Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error. The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.

There is one true God, the creator and sustainer of all things, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The three persons of the Trinity are equal in substance, in power and in glory.

God created people male and female in his own image to know, love, and glorify Him. Because all people are created in the image of God, they are filled with dignity and worthy of honor and respect.

Since the Fall, all people are born opposed to God, rejecting or ignoring him and rebelling against His rule and reign. Because of this rebellion, we justly deserve God’s displeasure.  Having been separated from Him, we are without hope unless He graciously rescues us from our broken condition.

The only redeemer and hope for sinful people is the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who is fully human and fully God. He became man, lived a perfectly sinless life, and bore the penalty of sin for His people.

God sovereignly moves and in people to redeem, according to His own grace, wisdom, and pleasure. The Holy Spirit gives those people a new heart, leading and enabling them to put their faith in Jesus Christ, receiving and resting on Him alone for salvation.

Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin in Hell, or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation in Heaven.
