**THE BIBLE**
The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, written by holy men of old as they were moved by the Holy Spirit (II Peter 1:20-21).
**ONE GOD**
There is one God who is infinite in power and holy in nature, attributes, and purpose. He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. We believe that He is revealed to us as the Father in creation, the Son in redemption, and the Holy Spirit in His comforting grace, which never leaves those who trust in Him (I Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:6; II Corinthians 5:19; Joel 2:28).
**JESUS CHRIST**
In Jesus Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell (Colossians 2:9; Colossians 1:19). We believe in the virgin birth, affirming that Jesus was both human and divine—God manifest in the flesh (St. Matthew 1:23; I Timothy 3:16).
**HIS SACRIFICIAL LOVE**
We believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. We affirm that He ascended on high and has sent His Spirit, the Holy Ghost, which was poured out at Jerusalem over 2,000 years ago and is still filling the hearts of those who diligently seek Him today (Acts 2:14).
**WATER BAPTISM**
We believe in water baptism (by immersion) in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and in the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which includes speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. This constitutes the new birth (Acts 2:4, 38).
**Our Mission**
At Open Heart Baptist Church, our mission is to operate as a Kingdom-driven, Christ-centered church focused on the holistic development of people, communities, and families.
