The Church Makes Disciples

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ ...‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” - Mark 12:30-31


True discipleship is growing in love with God through our:

1. Heart

2. Soul

3. Mind

4. Strength

5. by Loving Others


Our ministries at Manchaca Baptist helps disciples grow in these five areas: Worship (Heart), Fellowship (Soul), Learning (Mind), Serving (Strength), and Missions (Loving Others).

STATEMENT OF FAITH

BIBLE

We believe that the Scriptures are inspired by God, infallible and authoritative, without error in the original writing, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life. (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:20, 21; Matt. 5:18)


TRIUNE GOD

We believe in one God, creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Mat. 28.19)


JESUS

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of the virgin Mary; we believe that Christ shed his blood on the cross, dying for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice, and that he arose bodily from the grave and ascended into heaven. (John 1:1, 14; Luke 1:35)


SALVATION

We believe that all individuals are separated from God by sin and can only find forgiveness and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. (Rom. 3.23, Rom. 6.23, Rom. 10.9-13)


HOLY SPIRIT

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity, equal with God the Father and God the Son; he indwells every believer from the moment of salvation, making them a new creation and empowering them for a life that is honoring to God. (John 15:26, 27; John 16:7-15; Eph. 3.16-21; 5:18)


CHURCH

We believe that all true believers are members of the universal church regardless of organizational affiliation. (Acts 2; Rom. 11.11-15; Eph. 1:22, 23; 5:25-27; 1 Cor. 12:12, 13)


ETERNAL LIFE

We believe Christians who pass before the return of the Lord Jesus Christ are with him in heaven and will return to reign in the kingdom when Jesus returns in glory. He will eradicate the effects of sin and provide eternal life for all who believe. (Zech. 14:4-11; Luke 23:43; 2 Cor. 5:8; Rev. 20:6)
