NFCC holds The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith as our overarching doctrinal statement. The following is a brief summary of the major tenants of this confession.

​

Scripture
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God. It is the final authority in all matters of faith and life, fully sufficient for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness.

​

God
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love.

​

Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who became man, lived a sinless life, was crucified as a substitutionary sacrifice for sinners, rose bodily from the dead, ascended to heaven, and reigns as Lord over all.

​

The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells all believers, regenerating, sanctifying, and empowering them for godly living and service. He is the Comforter, Teacher, and Guide for every Christian.

​

Man
We believe that man, created in the image of God, fell into sin through Adam, bringing spiritual death and corruption to all humanity. Every person is in need of God's grace and redemption.

​

Salvation
We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Regeneration is the work of the Holy Spirit, bringing new life to the believer. This leads to justification, sanctification, and eventual glorification.

​

The Church
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, composed of all true believers. Local churches are called to gather for worship, edification, and the proclamation of the Gospel, advancing God's Kingdom on earth.

​

Ordinances
We believe Christ instituted two ordinances (or Sacraments): Baptism and the Lord's Supper. Baptism is by immersion, administered to believers as a symbol of their union with Christ. In the Lord's Supper, we affirm the real presence of Christ, believing that through faith, believers truly partake of His body and blood, receiving spiritual nourishment and grace.

​

Last Things
We believe in the future, visible return of Christ to judge the living and the dead. There will be a final resurrection, eternal life for believers, and eternal judgment for the unrepentant.
