MVCA Statement of Faith
There is only one God, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons; Father, Son and Holy

Spirit (Isaiah 43:10; John 1:1-3, 3:16; 2Corinthians 13:14)

Jesus Christ is True GOD and True Man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the just for the unjust as a substitution for sacrifice.

All who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He rose from the dead according to
the scriptures. He is now at the right hand of His Majesty on High as our Great Priest. (Matthew 1:18,23;
28:6 Isaiah 53:5; Titus 2:14; Hebrews 7:25;4:14; Romans 3:24-25; John 20:9)

The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, sent to indwell, guide, teach and empowered the believer and convince

the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. (John 14:16-17; Acts 1:5,8; Galatians 5:16,25)
The Old and New Testaments, inerrant and infallible as originally given, were verbally inspired by God

and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. The Bible constitutes the divine and only
rule of Christian faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:19-21; John 5:39; Mathew 24:35;Psalm
119:89)

Man was created in the image and likeness of God; he fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both
physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature, and are separated from the life of God
and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Genesis 1:27; Romans 3:23; Psalm
51:5, Romans 5:12, 15-19)

Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; and those who repent and believe in Him,

accepting Him as their personal Lord and Savior, are born again of Holy Spirit, received the gift of eternal
life and become children of God. (Romans 5:1-2.6:23, 8:1; John 6:47; Ephesians 2:13; John 3:16)

The church consists of all those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through his blood,

and are born again of the Holy Spirit Christ is the Head of the Body. The church has been commissioned
by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the gospel to all nations. The local church is a body
of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of God, for edification through the Word of
God, for prayer, fellowship, and the proclamation of the Gospel and observance of the ordinances of baptism
and the Lord’s Supper. (Romans 6:4, 12:5; Acts2:47; 1 Corinthians 11:26,28, 12:12-27; Matt.28:19-20;
Psalm 111:1 Hebrews 10:24-25; Acts 2:41)

There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life,

for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment (Revelation 7:15-17; 1 Corinthians 2:9; Matt 13:41-42. 25:41,
Revelation 20:10,15)

The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ will be personal and visible. This is the believer’s blessed

hope and is a vital truth. It is our incentive to live holy, living in faithful service. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17;
Titus 2: 12-13; Hebrews 9:28)
