What We Believe

The following are the core beliefs of Harvest Christian Fellowship based on the foundational truths taught in the bible and practiced by the early Church. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines and teaching of the first Christians.

We serve the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  His name is Yahweh who always existed.  He was the Word who came in the flesh as the Son of God.  Jesus is the Son of God who gave Himself and died on the cross for our sins.  We believe in the one true God and in His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

We believe that Jesus is God in the flesh.  Jesus died on the cross for our sins.  Jesus was the Son of God, both Divine and Human.  divine as the Logos the Word of God, (John 1:1) and Human as the Son of God John 3:16.

God created Adam and Eve who sinned.  Their sin infected the world and by their disobedience all were made sinners.  God gave the substitution to death and sacrifice of a lamb until the Christ would come and pay the penalty.  

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.

We believe that we are saved by God's grace and by faith in Jesus Christ only.  We believe that we are saved for Good Works.  These include but are not limited to showing God's love and plan of salvation by witnessing, helping the needy, loving our neighbor, giving, prayer, reading the bible, and being part of the local body of believers.

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.  The Church is the local body of believers that gather for prayer, fellowship, and instruction by the Christian leaders and teachers.

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.

We believe the Bible is the Inspired Word of God.  Men were moved by the Holy Spirit to write the Words that would lead and teach all men the ways of eternal life.  It is God's Holy Word.
