Rocherty United Methodist Church

What We Believe

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

in the original writings. We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: 

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in 

His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His 

bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in 

power and glory.

We believe that the lost and sinful man must be saved, and that man's only hope of redemption is 

through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We believe in and practice the holy 

ordinance of water baptism, which signifies the believer's death, burial, and resurrection into new 

life with Christ Jesus, and the regular celebration of Holy Communion as commanded by our Lord.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled 

to live a Godly life. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved; those that 

are saved into the resurrection of life and those that are unsaved into the resurrection of 

damnation.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
