Our Beliefs

The following are summaries of core beliefs of Bilberry Creek Baptist Church. They are based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.

GOD

There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

MANKIND

Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.

THE FALL

When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation, including all humanity, ever since that time.

REVELATION

God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, through the holy scriptures, and throughout creation itself.

SALVATION

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our imperfection and rebellion. God raised Jesus from the dead and now, by grace, offers eternal life as a free gift to all who follow Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, by faith. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.

RESURRECTION

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.

THE CHURCH

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. As such the church should encourage both restoration and multiplication.

Our Affiliations

We are affiliated with the Canadian National Baptist Convention. CNBC is a network of churches who give themselves away for the kingdom of God. With over 300 churches across Canada, we believe that God's primary vehicle for impacting the world is the local church.
