About Smithville Brethren Church

• We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

• We believe that God the Father is the sovereign creator of all things.

• We believe in the full deity and humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His sacrifice on our behalf, in His bodily resurrection, and in His approaching personal return in power and glory.

• We believe the Holy Spirit convicts people of sin, leads them to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, indwells all believers, empowers believers to live godly lives, and gives gifts for the ministry of the church.

• We believe we are saved by God's grace, apart from human works, that this grace makes possible our response of repentance and faith in the death and resurrection of Christ, and that our faith should bear fruit in lives of committed and loving service.

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, only infallible, authoritative written word of God, and our sufficient rule for both faith and practice.

• We believe that Christians are called to active participation in the local body of believers, and that all believers are united by the Holy Spirit in a spiritual body of which Christ is the Head.

• We believe in the resurrection and judgment of both the saved and the lost. The saved will enter into eternal life in God's presence, while the lost will be condemned to enteral separation from God.
