Church of the Good Shepherd

We believe in one true and holy God (Deuteronomy 6:4).

We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible word of God (2 Peter 1:21 and 2 Timothy 3:16-17).

We believe the Godhead consists of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14 and John 1:1-3).

We believe that sin entered the world by one man, Adam, and brought death, both spiritual and physical, upon the human race (Genesis 2:17 and Romans 5:12).

We believe that salvation from sin is available to all men through faith in Jesus Christ's atoning death and resurrection
(John 3:16 and John 3:3-8). (What must I do to be saved?)

Water Baptism

We believe in water baptism to identify with Christ's death and resurrection
(Romans 6:3-4).

We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a distinct and subsequent experience to the new birth and is accompanied by the outward evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 8:16, Mark 16:17, Acts 2:4).

We believe in, practice, and encourage the manifestation of the Gifts of the Spirit, needful to confirm God's word and edify the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 1 Corinthians 1:4, Mark 16:20).
