What We Believe

The following are the core beliefs of Calvary Baptist Church of Conroe, TX based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these Biblical doctrines.

We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired by God and are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.

 We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
 We believe that Jesus Christ, the second person of the Godhead, was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.

 We believe that man was created in God’s image.  We believe that God wonderfully foreordained and immutably created each person as either male or female in conformity with their biological sex. These two distinct yet complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God.

We believe in the Biblical account of Adam and Eve and when they sinned, they incurred the curse of physical death and spiritual death (eternal separation from God): that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are under the curse of death.

We believe that Jesus Christ died for the sins of the whole world, according to the Scriptures, as a substitutionary sacrifice. We believe that Jesus is the only WAY to Heaven, the only TRUTH to believe in, and the only LIFE for eternity.  We believe that man is justified before God only by the acceptance of Jesus’ sacrifice on the grounds of His shed blood, and that all who receive by faith Jesus Christ as Savior are born again of the Holy Spirit and become children of God.

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, His visible, bodily ascension into Heaven, His present work for us as High Priest and Advocate, and His preparation of a place for us in Heaven.  We believe in the conscious, bodily resurrection of the just to everlasting life in a literal Heaven, and the unjust to everlasting death in a literal, burning hell. We believe in “that blessed hope,” the personal, pre-millennial and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

We believe that the term marriage has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union as delineated in Scripture. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. We believe that God’s command is that there be no sexual intimacy outside of or apart from marriage between a man and a woman.  We believe that parents are responsible to raise their children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Our Statement of Faith is not exhaustive of all our beliefs. The Bible, as the inspired and infallible Word of God, speaks with absolute authority regarding the proper conduct of mankind and is the unchanging foundation for all belief and behavior. Calvary Baptist Church holds the final interpretive authority on Biblical meaning and application with regard to faith, doctrine, policy practice and discipline.
