About Hancock Reformed Baptist Church

What we believe
We hold to the London Baptist Confession of Faith (Found here http://www.reformedreader.org/ccc/1689lbc/english/1689econtents.htm
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, without contradiction or error.
We believe salvation is of the Lord and is best expressed in the doctrines of sovereign grace.
We believe that man is dead in trespasses and sins, unwilling and unable to come to God for salvation.
We believe that God the Father unconditionally and graciously chose certain individuals to be saved before time began
We believe that Jesus, who is God the Son, came from heaven to earth, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, fulfilled the law, died on the cross for God.s elect, and rose bodily from the dead.
We believe that God the Holy Spirit regenerates all His chosen ones through the proclamation of the gospel and effectually calls them to salvation, giving them the gifts of faith and repentance.
We believe that all who are saved will persevere to the end and be kept secure by the power of God.
We thus believe that salvation is by faith and not of works, and that all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ are justified from all things.
We believe that the God-ordained means of advancing the Kingdom of God is the local church.
We believe that every doctrine and practice of the Christian life must have a Christ-centered emphasis.
We believe that all who embrace these doctrines must be passionate about evangelism. “How shall they hear without a preacher?” Romans 10:14
