Located fifteen minutes from the capitol of West Virginia, Spring Hill Baptist Church is seeking to reach the lost with the grace of God by being “servant hearted, kingdom minded, and Christ focused”.

Statement of Faith

Scripture
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the verbal, plenary, inspired Word of God, the final authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings, infallible and God-breathed. (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 2:20-21; Ps. 119:160)

God
We believe in one triune God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Those persons are co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, and co-equal in power and glory. (Matt. 28:19-20; 1 Pet. 1:2; 2 Cor. 13:14)

Humanity
We believe that God created the universe in six literal 24 hour days. We believe that mankind was originally created in the image and likeness of God, but that through Adam’s sin  the whole race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and that man is of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. We believe that all people are sinners by birth, nature, and choice and therefore separated from their Creator. (Gen. 1:27; Ps. 8; Isa. 59:1-2; Rom. 3:9-23)

Jesus Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order to reveal God and to redeem sinful men.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, substitutionary sacrifice; and, that our justification is made sure by His literal bodily resurrection from the dead.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, and now is exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate.

We believe in that “Blessed Hope,” the personal, imminent, bodily pre-tribulational and pre-millennial coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for His redeemed ones; and in His subsequent bodily return to earth, with His saints, to establish His Millenial Kingdom after the seven year Tribulation.  (Jn. 1:1-5; Matt. 1:22-23; Heb. 4:14-15; Rom. 1:3-4; 1 Cor. 15:3-4)(Titus 2:13; Matt. 25:31-34; 1 Thess. 5:1-11)

Salvation
We believe that salvation is the gift of God, brought to men by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed for the forgiveness of sin. By God’s grace, a person can be in right relationship with God by trusting in the Person and work of Jesus Christ by faith alone, apart from any kind of work. We believe that all the redeemed are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever.  (Rom. 5:1; 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5)

Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is God and equal with both the Father and the Son. He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He regenerates men, baptizes them into the Body of Christ; and indwells each believer, thus sealing them unto the day of redemption. He enables believers to live the Christian life, and empowering them for service.
(2 Cor. 3:17; John 16:7-13; 1 Cor. 2:12; 3:16; Eph. 1:13)

The Church
We believe that the church, which is represented as the body and bride of Christ is an organism composed of all born-again believers (1 Cor. 12:12-14; Eph. 1:22-23)

We believe that the establishment and continuance of local churches as organizations is clearly taught in the New Testament, and, as such, are the proper medium for the administration of the ordinances prescribed by our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts. 14:27, Titus 1:5-11, Acts 20:17,28-32, 1 Timothy 3:1-13)

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has left two ordinances to be observed by the local church in commemoration of His Person and Work. They are Baptism (by immersion) and the Lord’s Supper. (Matthew 28:19-20, 1 Corinthians 11:23-32)

The Eternal State
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all mankind. Those who are in a relationship with God through Jesus Christ will be resurrected to eternal life, but those without a relationship with Jesus Christ will be resurrected to eternal judgment.  (1 Cor. 15:22-26, 40-44, 50-58; John 3:36; Rev. 20:11-15)
