FBCDC STATEMENT OF FAITH

The verbal inspiration, divined authority, and full inerrancy of the whole Bible as God's infallible revelation to man, consisting of only the Old and New Testament

One God eternally existing in three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Jesus Christ's deity, virgin birth, sinless humanity, substitutionary death, atoning blood, present advocacy, bodily resurrection, ascension to heaven, and his personal, imminent, bodily, visible return in power and in great glory to establish His kingdom on earth

In the fall of man, resulting in his complete and universal separation from God and his need of salvation

Salvation is a free and everlasting gift of God by faith in Christ alone, without works, and solely by grace; that every person is responsible to receive salvation by personal faith (commitment, trust) in the LORD Jesus Christ; that a soul once truly saved can never be lost

Although not saved by works, a life full of good works as evidence of true faith and salvation

That the Holy Spirit regenerates with divine life and personally indwells the believer upon his faith in Christ for salvation

A life of holy living by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit

The future resurrection of the saved and the unsaved:  eternal glory for all believers with the LORD in heaven; and unending punishment of all unbelievers in a literal hell

The one true church, the body of Christ, consisting of all believers

In the believer's baptism by immersion

Obedience to our LORD's command to intentionally witness in order to lead people to faith in Christ, and to disciple them to grow in Christlikeness, who will become disciple-makers

The responsibility of every church member to grow spiritually through regular bible study, prayer, witness, and involvement in a local church

The responsibility of each believer to live sacrificially for the proclamation of the Gospel to all nations.

FBCDC VISION

To become a witnessing disciple, thereby winning souls, and that these souls won would become witnessing disciples who would win other souls, each becoming a disciple-maker, fulfilling the Great Commission of Matthew 28:19,20.
