What We Believe
LaGrange UPC is a Bible-based church. We look to the Word of God for beliefs and lifestyle choices.
We believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God and is the ultimate authority on salvation and Christian living – 2 Timothy 3:15-17
We believe there is only one God. He has revealed Himself as Father (Creator), Son (Savior), and Holy Ghost (indwelling Spirit) – Deuteronomy 6:4, Ephesians 4:4-6, Colossians 2:9, 1 Timothy 3:16
We believe that everyone has sinned and needs salvation – Romans 3:23-25, 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9
We believe the Gospel is the good news of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We obey the Gospel by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in Jesus’ Name (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection) – 2 Thessalonians 1:8, I Peter 4:17, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39, Romans 6:3-4
We believe as Christians we should love Jesus and others, live holy inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully – Mark 12:28-31, 2 Corinthians 7:1, Hebrews 12:14
We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit; tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy, words of knowledge and wisdom, discerning of spirits, faith, working of miracles, and healing – Mark 16:15-18, Acts 5:16, 1 Corinthians 12:1-11
