LOVE JESUS, LOVE EVERYBODY
At Holland Chapel our mission is to make devoted followers of Christ and to reach people the church has not yet reached. We want to do whatever we can to accomplish this by simply loving Jesus and loving everybody.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, wholly without error as originally given by God. It is the ultimate source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.

God
We believe there is only one true and living God, the Creator and Sustainer of all things. He is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, and is revealed to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ, the Son and promised Messiah of the Old Testament, was born of the Virgin Mary, hence the God-Man. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross to redeem man, rose again from the dead to justify the believer, ascended to the right hand of God where He intercedes for us, and in the Father's own time will return in visible, personal form.

The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is the one sent from God to convict unbelievers of sin and the need for salvation. He is the resident guide, teacher, and strengthener of the believer.
