Statement of Faith

Our Biblical Convictions

Faith Vanguard is rooted in historic, orthodox Christianity—anchored in Scripture, centered on Jesus Christ, and committed to living and speaking the truth with courage, humility, and love.

Foundational Beliefs

This Statement of Faith summarizes the essential doctrines that guide Faith Vanguard—our teaching, our public witness, and our call to faithful action. We aim to be clear, charitable, and firmly grounded in the Word of God.

  • Scripture We believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative, and trustworthy Word of God—true in what it affirms and sufficient for faith and life.
    References: 2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Psalm 19:7–11
  • The Triune God We believe in one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—eternal, uncreated, and worthy of all worship.
    References: Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14
  • Jesus Christ We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man; He lived sinlessly, died for our sins, rose bodily, and will return in glory to judge the living and the dead.
    References: John 1:1–14; Colossians 1:15–20; 1 Corinthians 15:3–8
  • Salvation We believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone—not by works—resulting in forgiveness, new life, and a transformed walk with God.
    References: Ephesians 2:8–10; Romans 5:1; Titus 3:4–7
  • The Holy Spirit We believe the Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, indwells, sanctifies, and empowers believers to live faithfully and bear witness to Christ.
    References: John 16:8–13; Romans 8:9–14; Galatians 5:22–25
  • The Church We believe the Church is the body of Christ, called to worship, discipleship, unity, holiness, and mission—making disciples of all nations.
    References: Acts 2:42–47; Ephesians 4:1–16; Matthew 28:18–20
  • Humanity & Dignity We believe every person is made in the image of God and therefore possesses inherent dignity and value. Sin has fractured humanity, and only Christ restores us to God.
    References: Genesis 1:26–27; Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:17–21
  • Last Things We believe Christ will return, the dead will be raised, and God will bring final justice—establishing the new heavens and new earth for all who are in Christ.
    References: 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18; Revelation 21:1–5; John 5:28–29
