GREETINGS FROM OUR PASTOR
"
Welcome to Julia A. Porter Church! It is truly a joy and privilege to serve as pastor of this wonderful church family. From the very first day we arrived, my wife Crystal and I were welcomed with open arms and genuine love. That same warmth and spirit of fellowship continue to define who we are.
We are by no means flawless, but we serve a perfect God. This is a place where Christ is honored, people are loved, and faith is lived out daily. I invite you to join us and experience for yourself the strong sense of family that continues to make Julia A. Porter Church such a special place. It would be our joy to welcome you."
- Pastor Steve Steinhilber
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended to the dead.
On the third day He rose again; He ascended into heaven, He is seated at the right hand of the Father, and He will come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
I. The Scriptures. We believe that the books of the Old and New Testaments were written by men, verbally inspired by God, inerrant in the original autographs, and are the supreme and final authority in faith and life. We believe in the full historicity of the biblical record.
II. God. We believe that God is one in nature and three in Person--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that all three persons, though distinct, share in the divine nature and thereby possess the same attributes and perfections. We believe in the providence of God, but not that he approves sin or destroys human responsibility. We believe the triune God created the universe apart from pre-existing materials.
III. Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ is the incarnate Son of God, born of a virgin; that He is true God and true man, having two distinct natures co-joined in one Person; that He died for our sins, was buried, was bodily raised on the third day, and has ascended to the right hand of the Father.
IV. Holy Spirit. We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and that He regenerates, seals, and baptizes believers into the body of Christ.
V. Humanity. We believe that humanity was created in the image of God. Adam and Eve, the first humans, fell as a result of sin thereby incurring death for all and a curse on the created order.
VI. Salvation. We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone and not of works, and that all who believe are eternally secure in Him.
VII. Return of Christ. We believe in the literal, visible, and personal return of Jesus Christ. We believe in the final judgment of the unsaved, who will be sent away into eternal punishment, and the final justification of the saved, who will enter into eternal life with the Lord in Heaven.
VIII. The Church. We believe that the New Testament church is a local body of believers with Christ as its head and the Holy Spirit as its guide. New Testament churches promote God's work by cooperating for missions and many other joint efforts. Churches celebrate two ordinances, believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe in the priesthood of all believers so that every Christian has direct access to God in prayer through Jesus Christ, our great High Priest.
