The Statement of Faith of Lundy Chapel Missionary Baptist Church
At Lundy Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, we are a Christ-centered, Bible-based, Spirit-led congregation committed to sharing the love of Jesus Christ through worship, discipleship, service, and community transformation. While we honor the rich traditions of the African American Church, we also seek to faithfully address the needs of today’s world through biblical truth, compassionate ministry, and courageous Christian living.

We Believe in God
We believe there is one true and living God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is the Creator, Sustainer, Redeemer, and Sovereign Ruler of all creation. He is holy, loving, just, merciful, and worthy of all praise and worship.

We Believe in Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully God and fully human. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for the sins of humanity, was buried, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will return again in power and glory. Through Him alone, salvation is offered to all people.

We Believe in the Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is God’s active presence in the world today. The Holy Spirit convicts, comforts, empowers, guides, and equips believers for Christian living and service. We depend upon the Holy Spirit for worship, witness, leadership, and transformation.

We Believe in the Gifts and Power of the Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit equips every believer with spiritual gifts for ministry and service. Through the Spirit’s power, believers are empowered to grow in faith, share the Gospel, serve others, and build up the Church. We affirm that all spiritual gifts should be exercised in accordance with Scripture, centered on Christ, and motivated by love.

We Believe in the Bible
We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and the primary authority for faith, doctrine, and Christian living. The Scriptures reveal God’s character, His plan of salvation, and His will for humanity. We seek to faithfully interpret and apply biblical truth in ways that are relevant to contemporary life while remaining rooted in God’s eternal principles.

We Believe in Salvation
We believe salvation is a gift of God’s grace received through faith in Jesus Christ. No person can earn salvation through works or human effort. Through repentance, faith, and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit, believers are reconciled to God and empowered to live new lives.

We Believe in the Church
We believe the Church is the Body of Christ and exists to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, care for one another, and serve the world. We believe every believer has gifts and abilities that should be used for ministry and the building of God’s Kingdom.

We Believe in Baptism and the Lord’s Supper
We believe baptism by immersion is an outward expression of an inward commitment to Jesus Christ. We believe the Lord’s Supper is a sacred act of remembrance that celebrates Christ’s sacrifice and proclaims His saving work until He returns.

We Believe in the Worth and Dignity of Every Person
We believe every person is created in the image of God and possesses inherent worth, dignity, and value. Therefore, we strive to love all people, welcome all people, and treat all people with respect, compassion, and justice while encouraging everyone toward a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

We Believe in Justice, Mercy, and Community Transformation
We believe the Gospel addresses both personal salvation and the well-being of communities. Following the example of Jesus, we seek to serve the poor, advocate for justice, uplift the marginalized, strengthen families, and contribute to the spiritual, educational, social, and economic flourishing of our community.

We Believe in Family
We believe strong families are essential to healthy communities. We are committed to supporting marriages, nurturing children, empowering parents, honoring elders, and creating environments where every generation can grow in faith together.

We Believe in Holistic Ministry
We believe God cares about the whole person—spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically, and socially. Therefore, we are committed to ministries that bring healing, hope, education, empowerment, and opportunity to individuals and families.

We Believe in Spirit-Led Worship
We believe worship should be authentic, transformative, biblically grounded, culturally relevant, and led by the Holy Spirit. Through prayer, preaching, music, praise, and fellowship, we seek encounters that glorify God and transform lives.

We Believe in the Priesthood of All Believers
We believe God calls every believer into ministry and service. Every member has a role in advancing God’s Kingdom, and every gift is valuable to the life and mission of the Church.

We Believe in the Return of Christ
We believe Jesus Christ will return. We live with hope, expectation, and confidence that God’s Kingdom will ultimately prevail and that all things will be made new through Him.
