WHAT WE BELIEVE

The Bible

You will find the Holy Bible central and preeminent in the teaching, worship, and life of Plains Church. We hold that the Bible is:

  • God’s Word, given to mankind through God’s servants, inspired by God Himself, and containing His revelation of Himself and His plan and means of salvation to mankind, inerrant and to be wholly trusted.

  • God’s Authority, not resting on the testimony of men, or even of the Church, but imbued with authenticity and power from God Himself as its author.

  • God’s Revelation, teaching us everything that we need to know regarding His glory, our salvation, and the way that He wants us to live.

 

Confessions and Creeds

The important Confessions and Creeds of historical Christianity are documents that were penned in ages past by godly men as the church prayerfully sought out understanding of the teachings of the Bible. These documents are subordinate to the Bible and are useful only insofar as they support and illuminate the message of Scripture. There are several that we consider to be important.
