WHAT WE BELIEVE

DayBreak Community church is part of the North American Baptist Conference (NABC), and our beliefs align with those of the conference. Here is an excerpt from their website:

In continuity with our immediate forefathers and the larger fellowship of Baptists throughout history, we seek to practice and propagate by God’s grace the following convictions:

• We believe the Bible is God’s Word given by divine inspiration, the record of God’s revelation of Himself to humanity

  
  

• We believe in the one living and true God, perfect in wisdom, sovereignty, holiness, justice, mercy, and love

  • The Father reigns with providential care over all life and history in the created universe. He hears and answers prayer. He initiated salvation by sending His Son, and He is Father to those who by faith accept His Son as Lord and Savior

  • The Son became man, Jesus Christ, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Being fully God and fully man, He revealed God through His sinless life, miracles, and teaching. He provided salvation through His atoning death in our place and by His bodily resurrection. He ascended into heaven where He rules over all creation. He intercedes for all believers and dwells in them as their ever-present Lord.

  • The Holy Spirit inspired men to write the Scriptures. Through this Word, He convicts individuals of their sinfulness and of the righteousness of Christ, draws them to the Savior, and bears witness to their new birth. At regeneration and conversion, the believer is baptized in the Holy Spirit. The Spirit indwells, seals, and gives spiritual gifts to all believers for ministry in the church and society. He empowers, guides, teaches, fills, sanctifies, and produces the fruit of Christlikeness in all who yield to Him.

• We believe God created an order of spiritual beings called angels to serve Him and do His will

  
  

• We believe God created man in His own image to have fellowship with Himself and to be steward over His creation

• We believe salvation is redemption by Christ of the whole person from sin and death

  
  

• We believe the Church is the body of which Christ is the head and all who believe in Him are members

  • The ordinances of the church are baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

    • Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer’s identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior Jesus Christ.

    • The Lord’s Supper is the partaking of the bread and of the cup by believers together as a continuing memorial of the broken body and shed blood of Christ. It is an act of thankful dedication to Him and serves to unite His people until He returns.

  • To express unity in Christ, local churches form associations and a conference for mutual counsel, fellowship, and a more effective fulfillment of Christ’s commission (Acts 15; 1 Corinthians 6:1–3).

• We believe religious liberty, rooted in Scripture, is the inalienable right of all individuals to freedom of conscience with ultimate accountability to God

• We believe Christians, individually and collectively, are salt and light in society

  • We affirm the family as the basic unit of society and seek to preserve its integrity and stability.

  • We believe the Bible teaches that marriage refers to the covenant relationship exclusively between one man and one woman, as instituted by God in the beginning .

• We believe God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring all things to their appropriate end and establish the new heaven and the new earth
