Our Beliefs
An Introduction to Believers’ Chapel
We believe that the Bible is the only revelation of God sufficient to lead people to Jesus Christ and is our only guide for determining God’s will for our lives, both corporately and personally.
We believe the Bible has taught us:
That Christians are those for whom Christ died and who have repented of their sins and are dressed in the righteousness of Christ.
The doctrines of Sovereign Grace and New Covenant Theology
That Christians should not divide into denominations. We are not associated with any denomination.
That Churches should fellowship and cooperate with other Churches. We do fellowship and cooperate with other like-minded Churches.
That baptism is for Believers only. We practice Believers’ baptism; however, we do not believe that the Bible teaches that Believers should separate over that belief.
We will not refuse membership to those Believers who hold to infant baptism.
​
​
That there is only one race, the human race. We welcome all people without regard for skin color or nationality, to worship and fellowship with us.
That wealthy and poor people ought to be able to worship together. We don't care how much money you make; our fellowship is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
That there should be a plurality of elders in Churches. God has gifted Believers’ Chapel with three elders.
That the elders are to shepherd the Church, which includes watching over them and building them up through teaching the Bible for the Church’s benefit and the glory of God.
That the elder’s authority is limited to what is taught in the Bible. The qualifications and gifting are given to us in the Bible, including that elders are to be men only.
That governing the Church is accomplished by Jesus Christ through the elders, who are called to lead in a gentle manner, according to the Bible, so that the whole Church can be in agreement in all her ministries.

That the Lord’s Supper is a means of grace and should be celebrated often.
