Taylorville Christian Church accepts without reservations Jesus Christ as the divine Son of God and acknowledges His leadership as head of the church in all things. (Colossians 1:15-20)
We accept the Bible to be the divinely inspired Word of God and the only infallible rule of faith and practice for all Christians. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21, 3:2)
We believe that Christ lived a sinless life and shed his blood on a cross as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. (Hebrews 4:14-16; 9:11-14)
We believe that Christ rose bodily from the dead, ascended to heaven, and will personally return in power and glory. (Acts 1:9-11; 1 Cor. 15:20-26; 1 Thess. 4:13-18)
We believe that salvation is by God’s grace. One must believe Jesus is Lord and Christ (Acts 16:31), Repent and turn to God (Acts 3:19), Confess Jesus as Lord of your life (Romans 10:9), Be baptized in the name of Christ (Acts 2:38), and live according to God’s will (1 John 3:10). Each person is accepted and sustained by one’s active, obedient faith in Christ as absolute Lord. (Matt. 10:32-33; Ephesians 2:8-10; Acts 2:37-39; James 2:14-16; Revelation 2:10)
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells all those who have accepted salvation through Jesus Christ and that he gives them the desire and power to live a holy life. (Acts 2:38; Romans 8:5-11)
