​Our Confession of Faith at Open Door Chapel 

​Our Beliefs
​

We believe:
​
The Bible is the book of the revelation of God.
It was written by the inspiration of God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction.

God is the Father, the Son, the Spirit, the Triune Lord, the Creator of the World, the Eternal One.
People are made and loved by God.  However, all have sinned and so are unable to receive the glory of God.
Solely by God's grace, only those who believe in Jesus Christ the Son may not perish but be given eternal life.
Also, in this world, as children of God, believers are conformed to the image of Christ.
Jesus the Son hung on a cross for our sin, rose again the third day, was taken to Heaven, and will come to this world again.

The church is the body of Christ and serves God and people through worship, evangelism, helping others, and the ordinances (Baptism and the Lord's Supper).
We strive to be a church of people made one in Christ, endeavoring to live a life of faith by rejoicing always, praying without ceasing and in all things, giving thanks.
