HHCC Statement of Faith

HHCC is a non-denomination, independent, Bible-focused church. We believe that the New Testament Church is the bride of Christ. Followers of Christ should adhere to the Great Commission; first beginning with a commitment to being a disciple of Jesus, then adhering to disciple-making. This is accomplished by and through the work of the Holy Spirit. We teach the fullness of Scripture, helping people to understand the truths found in God’s Word, and are committed to evangelism, discipleship, fellowship and missions.

What We Believe and Teach:

We believe in one God; three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Matthew 3:16-17; John 14:9-10

We believe God is the creator of man and of all things.

Genesis 1:1; Acts 17:24-28

We believe that God created man (Adam) and woman (Eve), to marry and live together as a representation of His order for purpose of procreating, as well as be the eventual representation of Christ and His Bride.

Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:33; Hebrews 13:4

We believe that mankind is fallen because of the sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (Human Depravity). And thus, we need a Savior to atone for our sinful nature, which we were born into.

Genesis 3; Romans 5:12-14; Ephesians 2:1-3

We believe in Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate (in the flesh), is the promised Messiah, who died for our sins on the cross of calvary.

Luke 23:46; 1 Peter 2:24; Colossians 1:15-20

We believe Jesus Christ rose on the third day after His death, and this resurrection is the pinnacle victory that our faith entirely stands upon.

1 Peter 1:3; 1 Corinthians 6:14; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8

We believe that the Holy Spirit dwells within every person who repents and believes in the truth of Christ.

John 16:5-15; Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16

We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and the final authority for all matter on which it speaks.

Romans 15:4; Hebrews 4:13; 2 Timothy 3:16

We believe every person has immeasurable worth as a creation of God. We believe all have sinned (and are separated from God); all are without hope apart from Jesus Christ.

Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:7

We believe that salvation (the forgiveness of sin and promise of eternal life), comes by grace through faith, in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.

Matthew 26:28; Romans 5:8-11; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7

We believe in water baptism and that doing so by immersion best symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.

Luke 24:45-47; Romans 6:1-7, 10:9-10; 2 Peter 3:9

We believe that the Church is the body and bride of Christ, beginning on the day of Pentecost, consisting of all Christians everywhere.

Matthew 16:13-18; Acts 2:14-47; Acts 19:2-5

We believe the Bible teaches that the elders are entrusted with the responsibility of leading and caring for the local congregation.

1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; 1 Peter 5:1-5

We believe the Church is responsible to care for those in the flock, helping to nurture their well-being and spiritual growth.

Acts 20:28; 1 Peter 5:2; Galatians 6:10

We believe in progressive sanctification of the believer, which is the individual commitment to spiritual growth in their faith walk.

1 Thessalonians 5:12-24; 2 Timothy 2:22-26

We believe that death seals the eternal destiny of each person. The saved will inherit eternal life; the unsaved, eternal separation from God.

Romans 8:10-11; Daniel 12:2; John 6:47; Hebrews 9:27
