At FBC The Colony, we believe in the importance of doctrine based on God's divine revelation of Himself through Scripture. Here we have summarized our core beliefs and believe that the following statement of faith accurately represents the teaching of God's Word, and therefore, is affirmed by all members of FBC The Colony.

For an in-depth explanation of these beliefs along with the associated Scripture references, please see our Extended Declaration of Beliefs. 

About the Bible (Bibliology)

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, inerrant, and the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

About God (Theology)

We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each with distinct personal attributes, without division of nature, essence or being.

About Providence

We believe that from eternity God decrees or permits all things that come to pass, and perpetually upholds, directs and governs all creatures and all events; yet not in any way to be the author or approver of sin nor to destroy the will and responsibility of mankind.

About Jesus of Nazareth (Christology)

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious, substitutionary, and atoning death for all who come to Him in repentance and faith, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

About the Holy Spirit and Angels (Pneumatology)

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential; and that the present ministry of the Holy Spirit indwells the Christian, enabling a godly life; and that He dispenses spiritual gifts to the body of Christ as He wills. We also believe in the existence of holy angels, who continue to do God’s bidding and serve those who inherit salvation.

About Satan and Demons

We believe in the existence of Satan as an actual spiritual being and the enemy of all that is good, and of demons who follow Satan’s rebellion against God. All of whom are under the supreme authority of God Almighty.

About Man (Anthropology)

We believe that Man was created in God’s image, both male and female. Because of the temptation of Satan, mankind sinned against God and inherited a corrupt nature wholly opposed to God and His law. They are under condemnation, and as soon as they are capable of moral action, become actual transgressors.

About the Church (Ecclesiology)

We believe the Lord Jesus is the head of the universal Church, which is composed of all true believers, past and present. We also affirm the local church as the expression of His body in the world so long as it remains faithful to His gospel. The officers of a local church are Biblically qualified men who serve as Elders/Pastors and Deacons.

About Last Things (Eschatology)

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
