What we believe

A concise overview of the doctrinal convictions that shape worship, preaching, discipleship, and church life at BVBC.

Doctrine

The Scriptures

We believe the Bible is the inspired, preserved, and authoritative Word of God, sufficient for faith and practice and worthy of full trust and obedience.

Doctrine

God

We believe there is one true God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in deity and glory.

Doctrine

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, sinless in life, substitutionary in death, bodily raised, ascended, and coming again in power and glory.

Doctrine

Salvation

We believe salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by works, church membership, or religious effort.

Doctrine

The Local Church

We believe the local church is God's ordained body for worship, discipleship, fellowship, ordinances, and gospel witness in the world.

Doctrine

Christian Living

We believe believers are called to holy, joyful, Spirit-dependent lives marked by love for God, love for neighbor, and faithfulness in the home and church.

Doctrine

Last Things

We believe in the personal return of Jesus Christ, the bodily resurrection of the dead, final judgment, and the eternal reality of heaven and hell.
