Doctrine

What We Believe

The sum of all Heritage Baptist Church's theological beliefs is Jesus Christ.

Everything springs from knowing God through His Son.

Jesus Christ is the reason Heritage exists, the goal the church aims for, and the explanation of life.

The church emphasizes God-honoring music and faithful expository preaching because the worship service is meant to exalt Christ and the Word of God changes lives.

Traditional worship

The purpose of the worship service is to honor and exalt the Lord Jesus Christ.

Bible

The Bible is the Word of God, without error, and the final authority for the believer. Heritage uses the King James Version.

Salvation

Salvation is a free gift from God, made possible by Christ's work on the cross. A saved person becomes a child of God and cannot lose salvation.

God

God has always existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Church

A church is a visible, local body of baptized believers organized for worship, service, and the spread of the Gospel.

Creation

God created the world in six literal, 24-hour days as described in Genesis.

The future

Heritage is pretribulational and premillennial in its beliefs about Bible prophecy.

Heaven and Hell

A Christian, upon death or rapture, enjoys eternal bliss in heaven. Those who reject Christ are condemned for eternity in hell.

Baptism

Every believer should identify with the Lord through baptism by immersion in water. Baptism does not save a person from sin.
